Music students in collaboration with theatre and dance-sound worlds to create and share

This paper examines the responses of 17 music students (9 female, 8 male) to a collaborative improvisation project undertaken with tertiary dance and theatre students in a contemporary performing arts faculty. It focuses on the process and responses of the music student collaborators and engages, to a lesser extent, with their views of the resulting composite work. In doing so, it looks inside the process of music students collaborating with dance and theatre peers and finds musical and personal creating, sharing and learning being undertaken during the collaborative process.
