COLLOQUIUM ARTS MEET SCIENCES/Livia Teodorescu Ciocanea/Peter Herrmann/Elisabeta Laura Tatulescu
LIVIA TEODORESCU CIOCĂNEA/PETER HERRMANN/ELISABETA LAURA TĂTULESCU
Topic: „Exploring the vocal aspects in the music of Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea: the art behind the score“
Abstract
Our Arts meet Sciences colloquia have been taking place continuously since the summer semester of 2021. The dramaturgy of these colloquia is tripartite: 30 minutes for the first presentation, 30 minutes for the second, and 30 minutes for discussion between the speakers and with the online audience. For the first time, we are attempting an experiment: the three parts of the colloquium are conceived in such a way as to contain an intrinsic correspondence be-tween arts—composer (Livia Teodorescu-Ciocănea), performer (Laura Tătulescu) - and sciences—sociologist and philosopher (Peter Herrmann). Art is too often approached from one side, namely as something that is “produced”, leav-ing other dimensions solely to contemplation — if production is not already understood as “producing arts as means of enhancing production” (in particular the production of mu-sic or design for advertising). With this, two important aspects are faded out: activities of artists are communicative acts and activities of artists are means to understand oneself and the environment. This colloquium will reflect such wider understanding, taking itself the form of a commu-nication between a composer, a performing artist and an “academic who likes music”.
