Promoting more dialogue in composer - performer collaborations
Concert, workshop and discussion
by MAYA VERLAAK, THOMAS MOORE, student composers and performers
The concert/workshop focuses on creating a supportive and productive environment for composers and performers to collaborate. It will discuss and demonstrate the results of a 4-month experimental project where traditional roles were challenged and new ways of working together explored. Student composers EDOARDO BRANDI and JUANNING LIU, along with performers TERENCE LIU, LUNA RODRIQUEZ, and ANTONIA GERLING, worked in two groups to develop a shared artistic vision. They communicated, shared ideas, and built trust to form a sustainable working relationship in which everyone contributed equally to the creative process. The workshop will also discuss shared decision-making and mutual respect in musical collaboration.
