What is a score and what exceeds it? Collaborating Through Scores is a workshop with composer/musician and dramaturg Christopher Willes that explores the interdisciplinary possibilities of scores within collaborative art practices. A score asks its readers to become curious, to listen, play, take action or break the rules, and in the process develop shared questions and navigate agency. A score has living in mind. Through reading, discussion, and hands-on experimentation, participants will examine diverse approaches to score-making and the ethical, practical, and aesthetic questions they can draw out.  Christopher Willes’ facilitation approach is shaped by a background in experimental music, dance, and interdisciplinary performance, as well as current studies in Conflict Coaching at the University of Waterloo. Register for one or both—day two will deepen the learning from day one, but new participants are welcome. No experience necessary!

Note: Workshop 2 will deepen the explorations from the first day, but you are not obliged to attend both days
