Culturedale: Ink & Tapestry: Threads of Sound
August 27 @ 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM BST
Free
Be part of history—through sound. Join us for a unique opportunity to help shape the upcoming exhibition by creating an immersive soundscape that brings artefacts to life.
Why a Soundscape?
This isn’t just background noise—it’s storytelling through sound. The soundscape will be woven into the exhibition, pairing voices, effects, and music with selected artefacts to transport visitors into the past. Imagine hearing the voice of a musketeer preparing for battle as you stand before a Civil War musket ball…
“My matchlock musket. Open the pan, prime the pan… I hear them, the Royalists; I hear their cavalry. God be with me this day…”
What You’ll Do
Led by writer and workshop facilitator Michael Crowley, you’ll explore:
- Writing through the five senses
- Creating characters from historical clues
- Developing dramatic monologues linked to museum objects
- Collaborating on ideas, structure, and soundscape content
- Participating in the recording process
We would ask you to advise of any accessibility issues due to the age and location of the museum’s building, which may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
