Good Saturday morning to y’all. The sun is shining, it’s still summer (or should I say, it’s FINALLY summer .. been rainy and cold)

Seems like fall is a long time away. As I look at my calendar, I am realizing that it’s time to get planning for my fall workshop series.

So here’s a heads-up that I am working on my schedule. If you have a request for a certain date, now is the time to let me know and hopefully I can accommodate as many schedules as possible.

I will be doing my workshops in both Toronto and Hamilton. And other cities if I get enough requests.

Here’s what’s on the drawing board:

a) An introduction to Multimedia on the internet

- story basics, interviews, simple editing techniques. Starting with audio, and with also some tips on getting good sound for video and slide presentations.

b) Podpoems

- a workshop for poets and writers to learn how to do online poetry in their own voice. Lots of fun — every participant will have their own mp3 poem to take home and upload. (Toronto workshop is scheduled already for Sept 19)

c) Soundscape Slideshows

- how to turn your beautiful still photos into movies with voices, environmental sound and music. Learn how to Hear the Picture.

d) Bringing the Story Home

- for travellers, international development workers and everyone who wants to document their experiences on the road. Create sound rich visual pieces from photos, video and audio gathered on the road.

Contact me for more info. I will be sending out an E-blast to people on my mailing list when the sked is together.
