NORTH CAROLINA
CHEERIO CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Spring: May 7, 2010
Two separate workshops
DENIS BROWN: Polyrhythmic Calligraphy This workshop will help you develop more complex rhythms than possible with even-spaced traditional lettering. Historical western calligraphy does not generally exhibit polyrhythmical qualities, and therefore offers little insight in this respect, although cursive script from arabic and oriental traditions offers a wealth of possibilities. Denis will also suggest influences from other sources: The compressions and rarefactions of any waveform undulate in a natural way that may point to an organic and polyrhythmic feeling for space within writing, that can variously open and contract. Music will also be a reference, where polyrhythms, syncopation, and counter melodies will each be analyzed and appropriated into calligraphic composition and performance.
What students may accomplish/get from this class:
A deepened sense of letter structure, spacing and rhythm in calligraphy.
A better understanding of fluency and performance in writing.
An understanding of Polyrhythms; an aspect of contemporary calligraphy that is cutting edge.
A sense of excitement to participate in the expansion of calligraphic form.
LAURIE DOCTOR: Not a Day without a Line It is possible to develop writing through all of the senses. In this class, we will explore writing visually, by copying texts that we are not familiar with, and using some drawing techniques. We will explore how all the senses can be engaged: sound, smell and touch play a significant part in enlivening the quality of line.
We will listen to poetry and music, and write by touch. This workshop is part of a series that investigates the ways that the universal elements of line, pattern and texture, can be reflected through writing, drawing and painting.
CHEERIO Cost: $695 for instruction, meals, lodging. Semi-private and private rooms available ($775, $840). $200 Deposit (non-refundable). Info: Jim Teta, 5200 Bear Creek Rd., Winston-Salem, NC 27106. 336-924-5681 (H), 724-5475 (Studio). tetascribe@triad.rr.com Online at www.calligraphycentre.com
