Risk Music: A Workshop with Helen Papaioannou

Radar

A participatory musical workshop with composer Helen Papaioannou exploring risk in group communication.

Cope Auditorium

Led by composer/performer Helen Papaioannou, this workshop explores risk related aspects of group communication, probing systems and strategies that coordinate behaviours and groupings. This draws upon Helen’s work into games and group behaviour in performance, and is informed by her recent discussions with academic researchers in the School of Architecture, Civil and Building Engineering and the Department of Chemistry at Loughborough University. Through games and activities with percussion instruments, we’ll consider risk and resilience in aspects of group behaviour, such as self-assembly, group stability and the coordination of individual and collective actions. These sound-based activities will also explore how group interaction can serve as a starting point for artistic performances or musical works. No performance experience or musical ability is necessary.Part of Radar’s ‘<a href="https://radar.lboro.ac.uk/projects/risk-related1/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Risk Related</a>’ programme, a year-long programme of challenging and playful artistic commissions, residencies and events exploring and utilizing risk&#x27;s multiple connotations; as well as the social, material, cultural and ecological relations risk draws from and gives rise to.<a href="https://www.helenpapaioannou.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Helen Papaioannou</a> is a composer and baritone/alto saxophonist based in Sheffield, UK.
