Craftsmanship
Is a three year Norwegian Artistic Research Programme project lead by the percussionist Kjell Tore Innervik of the Norwegian Academy of Music. It aims to explore the role of the tacit in the transmission of Norwegian instrumental traditional music (folk music) form generations of teachers to students through one-to-one teaching. The goal is, to find a language and vocabulary that can describe the craftsmanship and skills of the folk musicians and the tacit language employed in the transmission of this musical tradition.
As part of the cross institutional cooperation in this project KHiO’s Department of Design led by Maziar Raein in conjunction with Ellmer Stefan (Design) and Janne-Camilla Lyster (Dance), are researching how the embedded and tacit graphic design languages – as expressed in musical and choreographic scores convey and instigate meanings and understandings, that ultimately manifest in expressions of music and dance.
