This workshop supports the creation of Parade On Your Rain, a performative “float” for QUIET PARADE, which playfully reinvents a marching band as a rainstorm that moves across space. Led by UTM/Sheridan faculty member Rhonda Weppler and collaborator Trevor Mahovsky, participants will be invited to create instruments using tin cans, cardboard tubes and other household materials, to create raindrop tins, rain sticks, stream nail boards and water drop wobble boards. Participants will make instruments and then rehearse them in a larger group. Participants in the workshop are invited to join the band performing in QUIET PARADE on September 18 on University of Toronto Missisauga Campus.
