Blank Canvas – discovering individual inspiration and collective creativity
We all have music inside us. The two questions that need answering are how to release it into the world and what happens when we connect with others looking for the same experience? Let’s discover this together!
In this atelier, 60 individuals will join together to create a single 20-minute improvised musical work.
Repertoire
The programme will be based on improvisation and co-creation by Morten Vinther and Kevin Fox together with the participants of Atelier B8.
