AYM Full Course - 'Physical Sound'backAldeburgh Young Musicians and DanceEast Academy, together with composer Mark Bowden and choreographer Darren Ellis, will explore the sometimes mysterious and always exhilarating collaborative processes involved in creating new music and dance work from scratch. Exploring the shared language of music and dance in the creation of ideas in time and space, as well the points of departure, AYM composers and DEA choreographers will create a group of new works in collaboration with their fellow performers and dancers. The project will lead to a performance of works-in-progress at the end of the residential course (Peter Pears Recital Room) and will culminate in a performance at the Jerwood DanceHouse, Ipswich (Sunday 31 July).
AYM Exchanging Worlds Ensemble
The Aldeburgh World Orchestra Project
The AWO project brings emerging professional musicians from all over the world to Suffolk; to inspire, engage and perform; raising ambition and celebrating talent on a local to international level, as part of the London Cultural Olympiad in 2012
AYM Exchanging Worlds Ensemble
As part of Exchanging Worlds we will also establish a creative performance ensemble made up of exceptional young musical talent (under 18's) through Aldeburgh Young Musicians (AYM). This commissioning ensemble will be cross cultural and cross genre in content. Through collaborative working and the exchange of global musical conversations, new works will be created for performance at Snape Maltings and regional touring.
Alongside the ensemble AYM Composers will compose a fanfare for members of Aldeburgh World Orchestra, experiment with remote interactivity and take advantage of AWO mentoring opportunities. Finally, two young musicians will join AWO.
Exchanging worlds has been funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity set up to help build a lasting cultural and sporting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games across the UK.
