Professional Training for Musicians
Training 2. Creating music without a score—Storymaking with diverse people

Genre:
  • Music ,
  • Lecture / Symposium

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).
While staying close to the various problems and issues that the training attendees are facing, we will look into the following:
– how to help all the people involved in a creative activity enjoy music
– how to prepare the grounding for those participants to perform music
– how to create enough “margins” so that everyone can participate (or be involved in the place).

Program

There are a growing need and increasing attention for activities which spotlight the diversity in the arts in recent years. Such movement introduced legislation for promoting art activities for people with disabilities.
At the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, we provide professional musicians with practical and logical training to develop personnel who can run socially diverse art activities with higher qualities.
