In July, I will be on a Neither Nor, Either Or Artist Residency Ytre Arna in Norway where I will be working on the planning and early stages of a large scale work for String Ensemble and Tape, to be premiered at the National Maritime Museum on the 16th March 2019 - check out the project diary here. I am also very pleased to be one of The Cohan Collective 2018 selected composers in residence, working with choreographers to explore the art of collaboration. The residency will be taking place in Bournemouth in partnership with Pavilion Dance South West and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra with mentorship from composer Kenneth Hesketh. 

Composer in Residence, 2017

In 2017, I was Composer in Residence with CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) and worked with them on a project entitled 'Movements in Space', a proposal directly related to my PhD thesis exploring the arena, ensemble and action spaces of music, through composition. I wrote three new open score pieces for the ensemble and helped to select the other repertoire for the concert. My pieces were devised through workshops and rehearsals, so the process often involved collaboration and required me to direct aspects of rehearsals.

This residency has led to an ongoing relationship with the ensemble that has seen me lead workshops on their Summer School in Orkney, and at the 2018 Festival of Contemporary Music for All.
