SUMMARY:KTS Webinar #43: Creating and Coaching Conlangs and Conlects
DESCRIPTION:Conlangs (constructed languages) and Conlects (constructed dialects) appear to be here to stay in the mediated universes of fantasy\, space opera\, and science fiction. Our panel— Keith Higinbotham\, Marina Tyndall\, Marion Déprez\, and Eric Armstrong—discusses their experiences of creating\, designing\, coaching\, and team-coaching languages and accents built-to-order. They’ll address the challenges of building a language/lect that no one has ever heard before\, with sounds that may be unfamiliar in the mouths of the actors and point out some of the pitfalls they’ve tried to avoid along the route. Even made-up accents live in a cultural context\, so they’ll share their thoughts on how to deal with the on- and offset “politics” of how best to position our work. Together\, our coaches will explore strategies for counteracting\, and sometimes embracing\, the gravitational pull of the familiar while trying to boldly go where no language/accent has gone before. (Cue the theremin music!) \n\n\n\nOn Sunday\, 26th of March at 10am PST/1pm EST/6pm GMT.  \n\n\n\nTo convert this meeting to your time zone\, click here. \n\n\n\nRegistration for this webinar will be $10.
