Foley; noun: Relating to or concerned with the addition of recorded sound effects after the shooting of a film.
Foley Nights invites you to make live ‘foley’ in response to a selection of film clips.
You’ll create your own live sound effects using a range of materials, from pebbles and plastic sheets, to sticks, hot-water bottles, and even celery! All amplified through specialist microphones. Watch a film clip, choose your objects and have a go.
The event flips the traditional relationship between what you see and hear on screen. In doing so, it encourages attentive listening, sonic curiosity and understanding of how different materials create different sounds.
Suitable for children aged 8 – 16 years with their parent, carer or guardian.
Delivered by Modus Arts, a sonic arts organisation delivering sound-based projects across the UK. Modus provides specialist microphones and sound generating equipment so everyone can have a go at creating their own live sound effects.
Modus Arts draw on interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to developing public-facing sound-based artworks and events. In 2023 we became a National Portfolio Organisation with Arts Council England.
