Register now for the RAPP Lab multiplier event!

Registrations are now open for the RAPP Lab Multiplier event “Reflect & React: How Artistic Research Empowers Musicians and Performing Artists at Higher Education Institutions”, which will take place at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln (Cologne, Germany) on 12 – 13 May 2023.

Reflect&React brings together two cross-border projects which have a main focus on investigating what added value engaging in artistic research has for the development of an outstanding artistic profile.   Both projects are co-financed by the European Union as part of its Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Program.

RAPP Lab approaches the issue from a more analytical point of view, while REACT – as the project title suggests – places a stronger focus on developing and testing alternative models of learning and teaching at HMEIs. 

Key questions to be addressed will be:

– How to sensibilise students for their relationship to their own artistic practice?
– How to create learning and teaching atmospheres in which collaboration and responsibility are in focus?
– How can findings from the projects contribute to re-think and re-design study programmes and curricula?
– What formats and settings are suited to promote and to support learning & teaching that is informed by artistic research for students at master’s, doctoral and even bachelor’s level?

Call for contributions for students (MA / PhD)

In the spirit and frame of the conference, we would like to encourage students (MA / PhD) in the field of Artistic Research in Music to critically explore how their activities and practices in Artistic Research influenced their own artistic perspectives, for example in developing new professional niches or in exploring new artistic mindsets and concepts. Therefore, we are very pleased to invite artist-researchers (MA/PhD) to reflect on some questions related to artistic research and practice and have the chance to be presented in the form of a poster during the event.

Information related to the programme, the registration form and the call for contributions is available on the event’s webpage.

Looking forward to meeting you in Cologne!
