THIRDSPACE Masterclasses: Staging Narratives
This three-part masterclass series led by Erdem Tasdelen introduces technical and conceptual strategies for working across graphic design, moving image and sound as narrative tools for reimagined storytelling. Each session draws from a project in Taşdelen's own practice, using it as a springboard for hands-on work in Adobe Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Audition. Through hands-on exercises, participants will develop skills in writing, image-making and sound design, while approaching narrative as a flexible and experimental process.

Drawing inspiration from the sound component of Tasdelen's own residency project at OCAD U, this session explores sound as a narrative device. Participants will learn basic recording and editing techniques, layering voice, found audio and ambient soundscapes to construct atmospheres that guide perception and emotion In this workshop you will:
