On Thursday evening, Andrew and I reported back on our 23rd April concert as part of London Met's 'Performance as Research' programme. Ours was one of 5 performances (the others featured opera, dance and video art). All the artists had produced visual documentation in the form of displays, videos etc. some of which were very beautiful and all gave a short presentation about their work.
On Friday we took a Chiltern Railways train to Great Missendon (former home of Roald Dahl) and ran a leadership and management workshop for New Buckinghamshire University at Missenden Abbey. This was a fantastic afternoon of playing and discussion where we explored themes of leadership and cooperative working through music. The high point for me was a structured improvisation performance featuring the 18 participants on voice and percussion with Andrew and I playing along on flute and violin.
It was all rounded off by a pint at the Cross Keys pub (this used to be the emblem for St Lukes College where I studied in Exeter).
