Mobilize our creative energy and play the Theremin

Energy is the theme of this year’s Earth Day Celebration. Join Maple Ridge Artists in Residence Robi Smith and Kat Wahamaa for a workshop on Mobilizing Our Creativity. The workshop is part of a public art project, in collaboration with the CEED Centre, that they are producing for the Maple Ridge Earthday celebrations.

To illustrate the tangible human interaction with electro-magnetic energy, participants will be introduced to the Theremin. The Theremin (named after it’s inventor Leon Theremin), is one of the oldest electronic instruments, sometimes described as having a sound that mimics the “human voice crossed with a violin”. Remember the theme to Star Trek? That’s a Theremin. It is played just by the proximity of the human body to the pitch and volume antennae.

Join Robi and Kat for this fun, interactive workshop at the Maple Ridge Library - it's free!
