Music Program TOKYO Workshop Workshop! Convivial Project
Professional Training for Musicians
Training 2. Creating music without a score—Storymaking with diverse people
What if a music project does not begin with music!?
A small detour is welcome to get ready to “do music” with everyone.
The lecturer TANAKAWA Hiroko is a stage musician especially renowned for various works at the SPAC (Shizuoka Performing Arts Center) and new Kabuki productions. With her guidance, we are going to learn the essence of running creative activities involving people from a variety of backgrounds by integrating music and drama (words).
At this training, we will think about the following to provide the best environment for those creative activities while staying close to the various problems and issues each participant is facing:
- how to help all the people involved in a creative activity enjoy music
- how to prepare a common grounding for those participants to perform music
- how to create enough “margins” so that everyone can participate (or be involved in the place)
