Nina Garthwaite brings together audio exercises, reflections and experiments to explore the way we humans tell stories with - and about - sound. Drawing from personal, historical and contemporary narratives of recorded sound, not to mention Pinocchio, she will invite us to enter into an imaginative play of audio making in which we take disjointed parts and by loving, abusing, manipulating and challenging them, breathe life into them. But is it all an illusion? Or is it a real boy?

Nina Garthwaite started out in documentary film and for the past 12 years she has been making audio both for established organisations such as the BBC and for self-generated projects. In 2010 she set up In The Dark, one of the first listening cinemas of its kind. It quickly gathered an international audience and has now held nearly 200 events worldwide. Nina has spoken at audio festivals around the world, helped to establish the Hearsay Audio Arts Festival and has been a judge on many of the major audio awards including the Third Coast International Audio Festival, the BBC Radio Drama Awards and the Whickers.  She has been an artist collaborator for the Wellcome Collection and more recently was the co-creator of a cinema for listening, Soundhouse, at the Barbican.
