Beschreibung
Radio is a medium in flux, malleable and ever changing. For the past 90 years it has specialised in artistic, documentation and direct acoustic representations of the world. Mobility, openness and the chance to reach a vast audience has drawn artists to the radio since its beginnings. How the Hörspiel, a polyartistic medium of Radio's own creation, offers the other art forms a field of play, was one of the themes of the symposium, which, promoted by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes, took place in Karlsruhe in November 2013. The question was also raised how the other arts - literature, theatre, visual arts, new music, opera - approach the acoustic. Choreography of Sound intends to put the Hörspiel in context with other art forms. In this meeting of multiple disciplines the aesthetic possibilities of the acoustic can be explored and new developments identified. Hörspiel practicioners meet sound-poets, theoreticians, dramaturgs, authors, composers and performance artists whose work crosses the traditional borders of genre.
