Asking People To Build Things
The Danish composer and performance group Current Resonance leads a day-long participatory event where the ensemble and audience break into teams to collaboratively realise the suggestions posted by the public on their open online platform. Together we share a day filled with constructing instruments and scenography, and learning about the history of musical asking, that culminates in a collective performance ritual. The full program for the day will be announced later.
Visit the collaborative platform ahead of the event here.
The forum is a site for collectively generating, developing, and discussing material for the event. It is an experiment in artistic outsourcing, collaborative composition, and the friction between virtual conceptualization and physical realization. In the days leading up to the event, Current Resonance will collate the posts on this site into a blueprint for the event.
At the event, they will lead a collaborative building session with the audience where we collectively attempt to realize the blueprint and complete the evening with a collective jam session that utilizes what has been built.
