Lau Noah presents an introduction to her next project: a meeting between classical, jazz and folk musicians through the power of oral tradition. Music created, passed on and recorded using human ear, memory and skill, without it ever being written down on paper, yet not improvised. Noah's ambitious project highlights the complexity and depth of oral tradition as both modern and ancestral human language worth preserving and championing. Noah and her team will be presenting a short film, an early listening to some songs from the record and a live performance.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
// This project was developed in part at Studio9 with support from the FreshGrass Institute, North Adams, MA.
// There will be limited seating on the venue floor. Our balcony (up two flights of stairs) will be standing-room-only. If you require accessibility accommodations, please email boxoffice@nationalsawdust.org.
