Managed byHanna's Atelier for Sonorous Arts

The Centre for Sonorous Arts established in 2012 strives to promote all sonorous arts. It runs all the artistic, exploratory and educational activities that use sound as a possible means of understanding reality, or as their medium of expression, creation and experience.

In the period 2012–2015 the Hanna's Atelier for Sonorous Arts managed the Vodnikova domačija (Vodnik Homestead) as a comprehensive centre for the exploration, creation, development, and promotion of sound arts and related disciplines in Slovenia and abroad.

For the time being the Centre for Sonorous Arts is looking for a new location for their activities.

Sonorous theatre

Sonorous theatre is a brand new form of stage arts, which originated and developed in the Slovenian cultural space and which communicates with its audience through atmosphere and vibration; the universal language of sound. One example of sonorous theatre projects was the fairy tale Madam Beanpole and the Stray Little Sound [Gospa Sulica in izgubljeni zvokec] that was produced by Hanna's Atelier for Sonorous Arts and co-produced by Festival Bobri.

Installations and exhibitions

The installations actualized and discussed current reality and the prevalent modern social practices. Recent productions included also the installation/sonorous invocation The Returned [Vrnivec] (2013), soundscape and direction by Hanna Preuss, VJ and motion graphics by Luka Umek and light engineering by Jaka Šimenc. The Centre hosted the art collective Gruppo78 led by Maria Campitelli with their audiovisual installations and performance titled Art Is a Rebellion Against Fate [Umetnost je upor proti usodi], etc.

The Centre hosted an exhibition of photographs and posters from performances of the sonorous theatre titled From the Dark, featuring the works by the photographer Nada Žgank and the graphic designer Jaro Jelovac, an exhibition of clay sculptures by Lučka Koščak, and in the manor park, a participatory sculptural installation Farewell, conceived by Lučka Koščak and Hanna Slak.

Concerts

Concert activities in the Centre for Sonorous Arts offered artistic as well as popular music events in a variety of fields ranging from classical music to folk, jazz and contemporary musical genres.

Children's programme

The children’s programme promoted the creative understanding and individual expression of sound and music, which teaches, facilitates and develops musical literacy in children, adolescents and all those who wish to foster their musical sensibility. Workshops were offered in the field of sound, music, painting and environmental awareness and hours of creative play.
