What happened
Studio work
Time in a creative studio, exploring sound and ideas.
Songwriting
Writing and shaping original material.
Instrument practice
Hands-on playing and developing musical skills.
Performance
Sharing work live with others.
A media lab
Music, photography and film, side by side.
City That Shape Us ran as a media lab: music, photography and video film-making happened together, at the same time, in the same room.
That made the programme a creative hub — a place where people built relationships across subjects, deeply rooted in the interdisciplinary thinking of the creative industries and of Innovatoire.
The work lived at the crossroads of these media: writing new histories, and creating new work where they meet.
