SEMINAR
|
|||
| The Immaculate Perception Seminar is an enriching and stimulating experience. You will discover the flexibility of Russian language and how it has expanded since the influences of Pushkin and Dostoevsky. You will explore a vital spark of poetry that continues to thrive at the highest level in Russia. You will have a greater understanding of the musicality of language through the analysis of form, rhythm, sound, energy and rhyme. You will learn skills that will improve your translation and recital of poetry. You will gain insight into how the composer wrote a soundtrack that compliments and actively reinforces the spoken word. The central theme of the seminar is the ground breaking work Immaculate Perception. Inspired by the poetry of Vitaly Kalpidi the English composer Mark Leventhall has written "the most engaging and evocative soundscape." (Geoffrey Smith BBC Film Director). Kalpidi, considered a genius by his contemporaries, has won top literary awards including the Apollon Grigoriev prize and the Best Book of the Decade. Immaculate Perception has been well received across Russia from the International Poetry Festival in Moscow to the Academy of Science in Novosibirsk. In London, Richard Mckane from the Pushkin Club said "it was the outstanding event of my chairmanship." | |
