Death, pregnancy, self-harm mentioned

Applications are now open for a MUSIC DIRECTOR  (and ideally Composer ) for Intruder / Home, the Corpus Playroom Week 7 Late show

An incomplete list of composers  who wrote music for Maeterlinck plays or set his poems includes practically a who’s who of the early 20th century. Debussy, Faure, Schoenberg, Sibelius, Honegger, Dukas, Vaughan-Williams, Zemlinsky, Rachmaninoff, Humperdinck, Boulanger. Something about these gripping tragedies really brings out the best in musicians. I very badly want some live, original, student-written music for these plays.

• Why would you like to be involved in Intruder / Home?
• Please send me a sample (or two. Or more! I’ll listen) of music you’ve written. If you have anything that particularly fits the theme of tragic modernism, I’d love to hear that.
• Are you also willing to take charge of ‘music direction’, ie, assembling and rehearsing musicians for this show? Do you have experience with this?
• Bonus Q: Are there any instrument groups you’d be particularly interested in writing for? (we would probably only be able to fit a few people in the Corpus stage, but the instruments themselves are up to your discretion).
