Who is the ‘I’ that performs?
Eventfrom November 28, 2019 until November 29, 2019Enacting Musical Identities (Festival & Symposium)
The event marks the culmination of the research cluster ‘Performance, Subjectivity and Experimentation’, led by Catherine Laws.
Register nowMusic reflects identity. But identity is also formed (and continually reformed) through musical practices, not least performance. How does this take place? How might the work of practitioners reveal aspects of this process?
The festival and symposium Who is the “I” that performs? Enacting Musical Identities gathers a diverse range of perspectives on these questions, with presentations from international artist-researchers and responses from three experts: Kimberly Campanello, Darla Crispin, and Juliana Hodkinson.
The festival celebrates the work of the Orpheus Institute research cluster Performance, Subjectivity, and Experimentation, with performances and the launch of the book Voices, Bodies, Practices: Performing Musical Subjectivities (Leuven University Press).
Convenors: Catherine Laws, William Brooks, David Gorton, Stefan Östersjö
