About Resonant Fields
Resonant Fields is a new Perth-based initiative that is premised on performing exploratory and improvisatory music. In particular, Resonant Fields is concerned with proliferating the improvisational practice long cultivated within smaller experimental music groups to the wider musical community.
Our project involves an ensemble of 16 musicians participating in four workshops led by four experienced musicians of Perth’s exploratory music scene. This series of workshops will culminate in a YouTube premiere of extended improvisation, incorporating the concepts emphasised in the preceding workshops.
About the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival
Presented by Propel Youth Arts WA, the KickstART Festival has been the flagship event of Youth Week WA for 12 years running. KickstART offers over 60 free events - including workshops, talks, performances, mentorships, exhibitions, markets, and other special events - between 8 - 16 April, for young people aged 12-26.
Due to growing concerns about COVID-19 and the anticipated continued spread of Omicron across our communities in Boorloo (Perth) and WA, the Propel team has decided to pivot towards digital and hybrid formats for the delivery of the KickstART Festival this April.
The Youth Week WA KickstART Festival 2022 is presented by Propel Youth Arts WA and is funded by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. KickstART is also supported by Lotterywest, the City of Perth, the City of Stirling, the City of Fremantle, and the City of Vincent.
