This week, we are featuring another audio corpse (collection of stories) from our audio corpse challenge
An audio corpse is like an audio tapestry made with many hands. The line of the stitch in the stories is a reminder that we are all connected.
How does it work?
Our Programming and Community Coordinator Catarina Fraga Matos breaks it down:
Here’s how the audio corpse works. Storytellers received a prompt to create a short audio story up to three minutes long. But here’s the catch. The prompt they receive, it’s only the last 10 seconds of the story that came before. So they take that tiny fragment and use it as an inspiration for an entirely new piece that has to be made in 48 hours, and that continues the story in some way.
audio corpse #2
This audio corpse features an exploration of ancestral memory, whales finding a new way to communicate, the illusion of sanity, a strange explanation about stretch marks, a cooking lesson and the day in the life of an alien.
Participants of this audio corpse were:
M.Cristina Marras, Lynn Casper, Tessa Cancio Pastor, Rowan Allen, Anna-Maria Woodrow
Sarah Frosh, Jennifer Robnet, Lucy Jollif and Sarah Warren.
Special thanks to Catarina Fraga Matos for organising this and to Nili Javid for stitching all the corpses together.
