The idea behind the co-creation workshop is to explore and develop a collaborative model where the composer and performers work together from the very beginning of the process through to the completion and premiere of the work.
U:/ECCM announced a call for applications for young composers wishing to participate in the program. The interest was exceptionally high: a total of 55 applications were submitted from across Europe.
Unfortunately, within the scope of this project, it is only possible to work at a sufficiently focused pace with three participants. The selected composers are:
Parham Behzad (IR/AT)
Sofus Preisel (DK)
Żaneta Rydzewska (PL)
A guest is invited to each session to reflect on the process from their perspective. For the first edition, this will be Liisa Hõbepappel, who has previously worked with the ensemble in a similar manner.
Three meetings will take place during the season. In the first one, initial ideas will be presented, discussed, reflected upon, and improvised on, gathering primary material and concepts.
