Biennale College Musica 2022

Two new projects of experimental performance with dramaturgical intentions

DJs/turntablists/controllerists/beatmakers and live electronics performers interested in the theatrical aspects of the performance.

The selected performers will have the opportunity to realize an experimental performance within the Biennale Musica (14-25 September 2022).

The workshop will consist in four different stages:

The first stage will be focused on the conception of the project, while the second will be focused on the work in the CIMM Studios (La Biennale di Venezia Centre for Computer Music and Multimedia); third and fourth stage will be dedicated to the rehearsals and production of the new project.

The Biennale College Musica team will be in contact with each performer throughout the whole process of composition (from March to September 2022) and will be available for suggestions and revisions.
