Elaine Mitchener: What's The Score?

In this talk, Elaine Mitchener explores diverse approaches to writing and using performance scores without the use of traditional western musical notation, from text and graphic scores, to techniques drawn from performance art and physical theatre.

The talk will touch upon the approaches and practices of artists including Alison Knowles, Katalin Ladik, Ben Patterson, Jeanne Lee, Isidore Isou and others, and will include examples and performances of the works and techniques discussed, showing how they can unlock individual creativity and organise and direct group activity. It will be followed by a Q&A session.
