Audio Brunch Workshops at Orcas Center
Orcas Center’s Jake Perrine will present ELEVEN Live Sound Basics workshops on Sunday mornings at Orcas Center from 11am-12pm from June 15 to August 24. The workshop is open to the public, and designed for audio hobbyists who want to improve their understanding of how audio works, how to work with it, and improve their audio chops for live events, recording, etc.
Tuition is a WORK TRADE! Anyone present at 11am for the each workshop will learn theory for an hour, and then head down to the Village Green Stage at noon and put their learning into practice by helping set up for the weekly Summer Concert Series show (usually takes about two hours) and / or help break down at the end of the show (usually around 7pm, and takes about an hour). You will learn as much via “hands on” at the stage as you did in the workshop, and you are welcome to ask questions throughout! The Summer Concerts are at 5pm and free to the public. We have a great time, you will learn a lot, and you get to see how to put on a show from start to finish! Visit www.OrcasCenter.org for the full calendar of artists.
No signup required: simply come to the Orcas Center lobby for the classes/topics you wish to attend. However, please fill in this form once so I have a way to contact you.
