More Talk, Less Action is back for a free, one-off event at The Channel (at Arts Centre Melbourne, next to the Fatto restaurant overlooking the Yarra).
The series involves both discussions and performances from panel members, aiming to increase the level of discourse about what is often very conceptual and theory-oriented art forms. It encourages both critical discourse and open discussion amongst practitioners and audiences alike in a serious yet friendly and entertaining environment. Each installment consists of a panel discussion and performances from a range of artists, writers, promoters and thinkers.
“Join Clinton Green, Greg Wadley and three artists working closely with contemporary composition – Kate Neal, Sean Baxter and Alexander Garsden – as they explore the question: What does it mean to be a composer in Australia today? We’ll interpret this question on several levels: Philosophically – Where does composition stop and improvisation begin in an age of open-ended and graphical scores? Practically – How are software, new instruments and the Internet impacting how composition is done and what is composed? Career – What challenges do composers face, and what advice would our panel offer a young Australian contemplating life as a composer?”
Thursday 13 August 2015 (7:30pm) – free entry
Panel: Kate Neal, Sean Baxter, Alexander Garsden
Venue: The Channel, Arts Centre Melbourne.
