Time of Music Summer Academy
Tutors: Simon Løffler and Jennifer Torrence
This course of co-creative processes, “laboratory of not-knowing”, 1. – 6.7.2025 is open for composers, musicians, composer-performers, and other artists working with sound / silence / performance. The course language is English. Applicants should be born after 1.7.1990.
The course is a participant-led space to experiment with each other in the development of ideas/materials/works. Participants are encouraged not to bring finished work, but rather ideas and approaches that can be developed and experimented with during the week-long course. The course will proceed through collective decision-making based on the emergence of materials and collaborative constellations.
The course will mainly involve group work and individual preparation, however one-on-one discussions with the tutors will be possible throughout.
At the end of the course there will be a public performance by the course participants as part of the Time of Music Festival 2025. The format of this presentation is open and can include finished works, works-in-progress, demonstration of process, and other modes of sharing.
