Storytelling with Iain McCaig
Storytelling with Iain McCaig
Iain McCaig divides his energies between a lifelong love of storytelling, and a passionate belief that everyone in the world can learn to draw.
In his 43 years in the entertainment industry many of his creations have become pop-culture icons, like his Star Wars designs for Queen Amidala and Darth Maul. He has created art for games, from LucasArts and for many films, among them ’Terminator 2’, ‘Hook’, ‘Peter Pan’, ‘Charlotte’s Web’, Harry Potter, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, The Avengers, and the ongoing Star Wars movies.
In his spare time, McCaig writes, produces and directs, and wanders the land encouraging people to draw and tell stories.

Live Acoustics in Historical Spaces
Michael Holmes has been the artistic director of the Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble since 1998, recreating historical performances of music of the churches, chapels, and chambers of European courts of the Renaissance and early baroque era.
He will discuss acoustical and architectural considerations of large spaces that were imagined by the composers who crafted their music with creative spatial effects and natural reverb in mind. We will examine how engineers can record these recreations in ways that bring out the intended effects of the period.
