Workshop description
Instant Composition: conversations in music and dance
This workshop explores the communication between musicians and dancers during the course of real-time creative processes. The aim is the development of a live dialogue between the two artistic languages, by looking at their similarities and differences allowing a common ground to be created. During the intesive session dancers and musicians will play and then discuss their observations and thoughts and then try to analyze what they have just seen or executed.? Since this workshop is limited in time it will only be open to professional and semi-professional (advanced students in dance or music) artists.
Mary Oliver( Violin, Viola, hardanger fiddle)
