Composing for Live Events, Dance & Theatre
Explore the broad spectrum of music composition across many visual mediums
Composing for Live Events, Dance & Theatre explores the wide range of music written for performance-based and interdisciplinary work. This panel looks at composing for movement, space, and live audiences, and how music functions differently when it’s experienced in real time rather than on a screen. Panelists will discuss collaboration with choreographers, directors, and performers, adapting to rehearsal-driven processes, and writing music that responds to physicality, timing, and atmosphere across live and hybrid visual mediums.
