In December I’ll be starting a project in collaboration with Radar – Loughborough University’s contemporary arts programme. I’ll be exploring risk in the communicative systems of music ensembles, informed by collaborations with academic researchers from different disciplines at Loughborough.
I’m lucky to be collaborating with four fascinating researchers, who I’ll be meeting across December and January. We’ll be exploring the ways in which they encounter, relate to and approach risk in their work through discussions, visits to their workplaces.
I’ll be working with:
Ksenia Chmutina Monia Del Pinto Paul Kelly Paul Thomas
These collaborations will feed into a workshop in February 2020 for those interested in risk and/or experimental group performances (no musical experience needed). We’ll explore the different roles risk can play in group performance, informed by ideas encountered in the researchers’ work and my own compositional methods relating to risk, group performance and games.
This project is supported by the Hinrichsen Foundation
