Workshop 1 (10:00-11:30) with Ram Samocha
Mark Some Noise - Directed by Draw to Perform founder and artist, Ram Samocha, this drawing workshop is about back to basic artistic expressions while learning to draw with unusual and unique materials to create effective marks. The drawing marks that we will create will produce sounds, which we will learn to control and use in our work. The sound component will work as an added layer to the piece. The final exploration is an action filled with high energy and amazing vibe that combining drawing, movement, and sound.

Workshop 2 (12:00-13:30) with The enAball
The enAball is a portable and adaptable painting device that allows wheelchair users to
express themselves creatively through the medium of art. The enAball, which works in a similar way to a large ball-point pen, is attached to the students wheelchair and a canvas is layed down on the floor. The students’ movements are directly translated from the wheelchair to the canvas below, allowing them to paint independently, while having a removable paint cavity to allow for easy colour changing, maintenance, and cleaning.
The award-winning invention was developed by The Process, a group of artists and product design students from the University of Brighton in collaboration with Sussex MS Center and REMAP charity. They believe that everyone has the right to participate in art and in culture, not only as a basic human right, but so they can experience the empowerment and various health benefits it offers.
The presentation and workshop will focus on movement, disability, and facilitating creative expression through precise and autonomous mark making with an unusual drawing tool. The students start by free painting to get them used to the device, before progressing to a more directed activity such as basic portrait drawing, before finally collaborating on a large, shared canvas.
