[ANPPOM-Lista] 'creative activism: radical responses within new music'. eavesdropping symposium: season 2

[Camila Durães Zerbinatti]

"eavesdropping is a new series and a symposium dedicated to new music,
curated by soprano Juliet Fraser and held in the little wooden chapel up in
the eaves of Oxford House in Bethnal Green, London.

Season 2 runs with monthly events from January to April 2020. Over the
course of four evenings, each a double-bill, eight performers present their
latest works or works-in-progress in an intimate and informal setting.
eavesdropping's second season features Sophie Fetokaki, Jennifer Walshe,
Raghad Haddad, Eva Zöllner, O YAMO O (Rie Nakajima and Keiko Yamamoto),
Juliet Fraser, Romina Lischka and Marlo De Lara (a.k.a marlo eggplant).

Each season culminates in a weekend-long symposium. The first season
explored 'female creativity and the legacy and future of women in new
music'; the topic for next season's symposium will be 'creative activism:
radical responses within new music'.

*eavesdropping symposium: season 2*


25 & 26 APRIL 2020


*symposium* /sɪmˈpəʊzɪəm/ *n*.

1. A conference or meeting to discuss a particular subject.

2. A drinking party or convivial discussion, especially as held in ancient
Greece after a banquet.


The eavesdropping season culminates in a weekend-long symposium which will
be an opportunity for local and visiting artists alike to reflect together
on 'creative activism: radical responses within new music'. The symposium
is designed to be open, inclusive and positive in its approach to this
theme: the programme will feature a broad variety of papers, presentations,
performances and discussions reflecting the diversity of issues and
responses within the international new music scene. Keynote speakers Marlo
De Lara and Sarah Nicolls will be offering thoughts on resistance and
activism, and Extinction Rebellion activist Cathy Eastburn will be filling
the chapel with the therapeutic resonances of a gong bath focusing on
reconnection. The programme will also feature several discussions and a
selection of shorter contributions gathered through a Call for Papers
(deadline for submissions: 10 January 2020)."
