provides a fascinating example of in action – whether that be through the coming together of instruments & performers or the process of audience members listening to music. In this episode of Collaboratory, we talk to musician & academic Kim Cunio who is the Head of the School of Music at ANU, performer, researcher & Grammy long listed composer. He reflects on how his diverse cultural background, combined with his creative & technical skills influenced his approach to his practice & co-creative projects.
Kim also discusses the responsibilities that different cultural roles & relationships require. This includes seeking cultural authority to work with particular knowledges & traditions. Here’s Kim explaining the importance of building trusting relationships with communities. In addition to community work, Kim has also sought to transfer elements of his co-creative musical approach into a setting. Whilst this process has been challenging, it has brought diverse groups of people together & fostered a collaborative musical space.
Music can help everyone understand what co-creation is & how it happens. Do you any have examples of co-creativity action? We’d love to hear from you! Find this episode on platforms or at https://scccp.net/podcast/music-co-creativity-and-cultures-a-conversation-with-kim-cunio/
