Below are the details of two published courses. We will be releasing a third course soon – stay tuned!
Take a look at the detailed course descriptions below and apply by 22nd March.
Dive into the world of collaborative improvisation alongside fellow musicians! This course offers a unique opportunity for instrumentalists, vocalists, and electronic musicians to explore group dynamics, interaction, and performance ethics in a creative environment. The sessions are led by interdisciplinary flutist Claire Chase, and the course features a special visit from composer Annea Lockwood.
How does creative work take shape across different fields of art and science? How do time and space guide artistic choices? This course offers a collaborative environment for experimenting with ideas, open to composers, sound, light, and video artists, instrumentalists, and performers working with bodily movement. Composer Thanasis Deligiannis invites participants to cross disciplinary boundaries and challenge conventional artistic practices.
