4) NAISA Youth Initiative Updates
The NAISA youth education initiative includes the creation of new sound art works by youth through collaborations as an outcome to a series of workshops that teach an understanding of basic sound art, electronics, improvisation and composition. Hands-on workshops include assembling a sound art instrument (the NAISAtron created by Rob Cruickshank), making art with sound, making radio and exploring the soundscape. Youth learn to create art entirely through sound, radio, electronics and/or performance through exploration using technology. The NAISA youth initiative is targeted toward youth at high schools, arts centers and community centers. To date, NAISA has produced 15 residencies in Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and Mississauga. If you are a teacher or run a community centre and are interested in being a part of this youth initiative, email naisa@naisa.ca . If you are 20-25 and interested in working with youth (note: we are especially looking for bilingual workshop leaders), please contact naisa@naisa.ca.
