ARTICULATE OPEN CLASSROOMS 

On 17 and 18 October, as part of ARTICULATE I CARE, artist-researchers of the Conservatoire present their research to students, by elaborating on the scope of their project, introducing their methods, research processes, or (preliminary) conclusions, performing an artistic result or by supervising a workshop.

09:30 – 10:15

FAAM: Flemish Archive for Annotated music 
Witte Zaal, Conservatoire 
lecture, performance / language: English 
by NICHOLAS CORNIA, ANNA ALVIZOU

NICHOLAS CORNIA will present the current state of his research project, FAAM (Flemish Archive for Annotated Music), to the students of FRANK AGSTERIBBE’s Research 3 course at the Conservatoire. Together with pianist ANNA ALVIZOU, they will reflect on traditional and academic performance practices, navigating between intuition and analytical reasoning. Why do we make certain interpretative choices? What can we learn from performance practice traces, such as handwritten annotations? Anna will also discuss her encounter with the late composer and pianist Marinus de Jong, and how this interaction has influenced her piano playing, as well as her awareness and identity as a pianist.   

10:30 – 11:30 

MIRRORING CREATIVE LAB 
Witte Zaal, Conservatoire 
lecture, performance / language: English 
by ALESSANDRA LA VECCHIA, ARNO STRAUVEN, ASTRID MERTENS, GIUSY CARUSO, SARA SIMONIATO

GIUSY CARUSO and four of her students will present the results of their projects from the ‘MIRRORING CREATIVE LAB’, to the students of FRANK AGSTERIBBE’s Research 3 course at the Conservatoire. In this module, students develop their performance practice as creative research by applying the "mirroring method," conceived through Giusy’s research. 
The "mirroring method" enhances self-analysis for concerts, auditions, and recordings. It harmonizes body and mind in performance, helping musicians enter a performative state. It also improves skills in performing, presenting, and developing creative projects, as well as bachelor’s/master’s theses and research.
