Open Composition

Yshani Perinpanayagam – director

This course will take a close look at compositional process and how aspects such as collaborative composition, quick sketching and non-musical stimuli can be incorporated. Yshani will be bringing a deliberately unfinished piece to the Summer School to be completed and performed by the end of the week; in the open composition sessions, participants will create writing prompts drawn from the School’s new building and its history both towards finishing the new work and for participants to create their own responses to be workshopped in the room. Yshani will candidly discuss the unfolding progress on her work – warts and all – to facilitate open conversations around how to navigate being a creator.
