MUSIC AND DIS/ABILITY

Studienniveau: Undergraduate, Postgraduate
Lehrende*r: Stephanie Probst

Kursinhalt: The human body is involved in all aspects of music making and listening, from dexterity and the expressive power of voice and gestures, to refined auditory capacities and decoding notation. All too often these faculties are evaluated against expectations derived from (fictitious) normative bodies. But what happens when we take seriously the diversity of individual bodies who interact with (normative) instruments and preset conceptions of music? Through select case studies, this course asks what musicians and pedagogues can learn from dis/ability studies and how we might make music more inclusive and accessible.

Termine der Zoom live sessions: 11.10.2024, 18.10.2024, 08.11.2024, 06.12.2024 immer 16:00 - 17:00 Uhr (lokale Zeit Wien)

PERFORMERS (BACK) IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Studienniveau: Bachelor, Master
Lehrende*r: Elisabeth Reisinger

Kursinhalt: For a long time, the thinking and writing of music history has focused on the written "work" and its creator. But what if we shift the perspective and conceptualize music as a social sonic event? In this course, we will focus on the people who make music sound: the performers. We will approach music history by examining their role in processes of musical creation and repertoire formation, as well as their impact on the distribution and reception of compositions. We will explore how this offers a more diverse and nuanced picture of the various individuals that have shaped music history.

Termine der Live Sessions (Zoom): 08.10.2024, 22.10.2024, 19.11.2024, 10.12.2024 immer 16.00 Uhr - 17.30 Uhr (lokale Zeit Wien)
