Chance Procedure in the Performing Arts

A practical investigation into chance procedure
operations, inspired by the creative processes of
Marcel Duchamp, John Cage and Merce Cunningham.
Led by Music and Dance School faculty with guest
artist Daniel Squire - Trinity Laban faculty &
international stager of Merce Cunningham repertory
- and open to the Institute, this course offers an
immersive exploration into the utilisation of
chance as a major compositional tool, creating
unanticipated affinities, transcending personal
preference and side-stepping instinct. Come and
refresh your own creative practice, sharing
first-hand in the tactics and "serious play" of
three of the most influential and iconoclastic
artists of the 20th century. See how their ideas
bounce around for you in the 21st century.
