Once more, with feeling: Conductors' use of multi-modal assessments and directives to shape the music in choir rehearsals
Thursday 8th June 2023, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (London Time)
In this workshop, Dr Kathryn Emerson will explore her research into how choral conductors interact with singers during choir rehearsals within the rehearsal process.
Her work uses the qualitative methodology conversation analysis to examine how multi-modal ways of communicating (talk, vocalisations, gestures, etc) are used by conductors to convey meaning to the choir. In particular, conductors use assessments and directives to create change and shape the music during the rehearsal.
The workshop is ideal for choral directors, singers, musicians, and anyone with an interest in deconstructing how we communicate through the medium of conversation analysis.
