SUMMARY:SHAKESPEARE’S GARDEN
DESCRIPTION:AN IMMERSIVE SOUND STROLL THROUGH HIS SONNETS\, SOLILOQUIES\, AND SCENES\nPresented by the City of Alexandria’s Office of the Arts and Virginia Tech’s Institute for Creativity\, Arts\, and Technology (ICAT). \nMeander through Shakespeare’s Garden to experience his works through immersive imagery and soundscapes. Explore the garden’s multiple layers of rich sound through ambient Garden soundscapes\, and step into the texts of Shakespeare to hear recordings of his sonnets\, soliloquies\, and scenes reimagined and performed by Virginia Tech students. \nThree installations (2\, 3\, & 4) project Shakespearean texts and integrate images: blooming flowers\, cool rains\, and a windy moonlit evening. Composed soundscapes include field recordings of nature that harmonize into rhythms and textures. \nImagery and sound continuously loop. Linger\, revisit\, and explore to hear the complete texts and soundscapes. Pick up a gallery handout when you visit or download a copy here to learn more. \nShare Your Experience\n#shakesgarden   #artsALX   #icat   #VTALX   @alexartsoffice   @vt_icat \nCreative Team:\nConceived and Co-Directed by: Amanda Nelson\, Associate Professor\, Theatre\nCo-Directed by: Natasha Staley\, Associate Professor\, Theatre\nMusic Composition by: Charles Nichols\, Associate Professor\, Music\nMotion Graphics and Graphic Design by: Meaghan Dee\, Associate Professor\, Graphic Design\nTechnical Direction and Multimedia Technology by: Tanner Upthegrove\, Immersive Audio Specialist\, Institute for Creativity\, Arts\, and Technology \n  \n \nPowered by advanced technology and networks of creative people\, the Institute for Creativity\, Arts\, and Technology (ICAT) brings together and supports teams of faculty and students from across academic disciplines to address grand challenges and creative opportunities\, ranging from large societal problems to industry-specific issues to the frontiers of artistic expression. \n  \n \nThe Office of The Arts promotes the value of arts and culture in Alexandria by nurturing\, investing in and celebrating the creative contributions of artists and arts organizations.
