Theater dynamics for the composer and musician. In this seminar we will build short theater/music events through guided improvisation. These will serve as the basis for discussion and analysis of various abstract issues like theatrical space and time (theatrical momentum/rhythm as opposed to strictly musical momentum/rhythm), the poetic and the narrative, spontaneity and technique, and practical issues like collaboration, sources of sound and music and their implicit and explicit meanings (the god speaker, the 'located' speaker, live sound), in short, a great many of the problems theatrical elements present the musician and composer. |
