Collaborative Composition - Seminars and Workshops
Using examples of our own work and various new visual stimuli, our seminars/workshops involve sharing our composition methods in order to take students away from their comfort zone, encouraging them to:
- Think outside the box
- Take a broader approach to composition through such means as improvisation and stimuli from other art forms.
- Produce more creative and experimental works.
- Consider the performers – what is important for instrumentalists?
Past Projects
Purcell School for Young Musicians - Saatchi Gallery 2013
MOC ran a project for the Composition Department at the Purcell School for young musicians inspired by the Saatchi Gallery exhibition "Gaeity is the Most Outstanding Feature of the Soviet Union". After a series of exploratory workshops the students each produced a work including choregraphed elements, premiered at the Saatchi Gallery by MOC. See bottom of page for our blog about the Saatchi Project.
