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.
