This module aims to facilitate collaboration between MA Music Performance students (or other MA Music students who meet the required performance standards) and other Music students. Collaboration is supported with students on the following programmes:
MA Music Production & Audio Cultures
MA Music: Composition
BA Music (those taking the recital option)
The nature of the collaboration will depend on the strand chosen, but broadly covers: performing for recording(s); participating in the development of a new piece or pieces of music; and performing as a collaborative artist in an undergraduate final recital. In all cases your performance will support assessed work undertaken by your collaborator, so absolute commitment and professionalism is required once the collaboration is agreed.
By the end of the module you should be able to:
Collaborate effectively with other musicians on a shared creative goal
Support and respond to another musician’s creative vision with your own musical ideas
Empathise with the challenges faced by other creative disciplines within music
Demonstrate flexibility in your approach to performance as required by its interaction with another discipline
The format of this module will depend on the parameters of the collaboration. These will be agreed in advance with the Collaborative Project module leader and also the module leader of the collaborative partner. A session in Semester 1 will be held to facilitate the formation of collaborative partnerships. After this collaboration proposals and agreements will be submitted for approval to the module leader. This module is only open for selection by students who have formed an approved partnership - the availability of collaborative partners to pursue this module cannot be guaranteed.
