A workshop lead by Douglas Kahn at the Radio Contortions festival.

The Radio Contortions festival included live to air performances, recorded works, a panel discussion and several workshop/lectures.

Four workshops were held over two days: "Writing with Sound" by Douglas Kahn; "How to Pronounce Prosthesis and Other Language Lessons" by Gregory Whitehead; "Mixing Cuts and Cutting Mixes: Sound Theory to Radio Art" by Frances Dyson; and "The Physique of the Soul" by Dan Lander. The panel included Frances Dyson, Douglas Kahn, Dan Lander, Julia Loktev (moderator), Wayne Morris, Helen Thorington, and Gregory Whitehead.
