- Thursday 1 October
Musicians Soffie Viemose and Kasper Staub from Lowly open this session with a concert in which the songs emerge in the moment. Over the past year, they have explored a practice where composition and performance merge, inviting the audience into the creative space. Here, music, lyrics and form arise through an interplay between the surroundings and the people present.
Following the concert, Dan Hvidtfeldt, Associate Professor and PhD at Zealand Academy of Technologies and Business and the Royal Academy of Music, invites the audience to reflect on what can happen when there is room for the unfinished. Drawing on insights from the research project Mental Health in Creative Working Lives, the conversation explores how performance culture affects wellbeing, creativity and working conditions in the music industry – and what becomes possible when vulnerability, openness and community are embraced as part of artistic practice.
An inspiring session about having the courage not to have all the answers in advance, and about how communities can create space for both artistic development and human wellbeing. The conversation continues in the session Community as Resilience.
