Before these workshops in March, words only played a subsidiary role in my creative or auditory works, as I did not have much understanding of them in relation to writing. Catherine and Chan Sai-lok explored the relations between sound and writing from different perspectives and we were encouraged to share what we learnt in the workshops with the others for a better learning experience.

To digest everything we have learnt within just a few months was rather challenging. I wish we had had more time, perhaps with regular sessions for sharing the creative process among the members (there were similar sharing sessions in some of the artist’s workshops, but they were too short), and to elaborate what we learnt from the workshops. Mentors and mentees could then have shared their thoughts and comments, which could be developed into exhibitions or further sharing sessions, and bring together an even more comprehensive experience.

在三月的工作坊前,在我來說創作或聲音創作當中,文字只擔當輔助角色,自己對文字創作也未有太深入了解。這幾個月來經由Catherine及阿三(陳世樂)從不同角度切入講解聲音與文字之間可以有什麼關係,並透過從工作坊中所學的,轉化成以一個分享的形式再教授或講解給他人,實在是個很好的學習經驗。

短短幾個月要消化剛剛所學的確實有一點難度,我更希望如果可以的話學員能有一個更長時間定期分享創作過程的聚會(雖然不同的藝術家工作坊期間有類似形式的分享,但時間卻太少),去分享從工作坊中所得而伸延的創作,聚會時導師和學員互相給予意見,可能最終形成展覽或分享會也好,這樣或能令整個工作坊經驗更為完整。
