Tessa Brinckman is an Academic Visitor and visiting artist to Waikato University’s Conservatorium of Music from August 28 to September 10. She will be teaching two workshops on the theme of “The (Un)Reliable Narrator” and growing skills and confidence as composers and performers.

This first workshop examines the intertwining roles of composer, performer, and audience, aided by the literary idea of an “un- or reliable narrator”; creating the narrative through improvisation as a means to scoring, or for its own sake. We learn by doing!
