APHONIC RITUALS Cassandra Classrooms Application Form

Thank you for your interest in Aphonic Rituals, instructed by Tapiwa Svosve. For this course, Tapiwa Svosve leads themed discussions about Jazz as a record of diaspora and migration. He invites various musicians and theorists such as Jalalu Kalvert-Nelson, Tina Reden and Asma Maroof, to dissect the compositional impact of artists like Julius Eastman and Eduoard Glissant on global soundscapes from Baltimore clubs to the communes of 1970’s Sweden. Svosve focuses on the state of improvisation and its potential to create and agitate energy in a multitude of contexts using the context of the Polyphonic Garden. Thinking through silence, negative spaces, solo performance and the negotiations of the body and instruments, Svovse will address training and technical development as both conceptual and performative techniques. This course will be structured as one-on-one sessions and lecture/podcast drops scheduled through Crowdcast and Are.na. A dedicated playlist will also be made available to those students.
