Academy

Rendezvous for creation in Paris, ManiFeste, IRCAM's multidisciplinary festival and academy joins music with other disciplines: theater, dance, circus arts, digital arts, visual arts. Every year, the academy trains 120 young international composers and performers, both active students and auditors.

Discover details of COMPOSITION WORKSHOPS | INTERPRETATION MASTER CLASSES

In 2016, ManiFeste brings together Beat Furrer, Mauro Lanza, Philippe Leroux, Rebecca Saunders, the circus artist Jérôme Thomas, the choreographer Xavier Le Roy and the percussionist Steven Schick. The Ensemble intercontemporain (ensemble associated with the academy) and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France offer young composers the possibility to test a sketch with different groups: a chamber music group, an ensemble, or an orchestra. Electronics are the focus of a new In Vivo Électro workshop, imagined by circus artists who have created a scenography in close collaboration with the composers. Finally, the collective aspect is reinforced for young performers during both the master class taught by Steven Schick and during the In Vivo Danse-CAMPING workshop imagined by Xavier Le Roy. Performers are able to reflect on their creation of musical gestures, working on a score in tandem with young dancers.

Musicians, composers, artists, teachers… are also welcome to attend the academy as auditors and take part in all the academy activities (rehearsals for workshops and master classes, computer-music course, lectures and master classes on composition, analysis of works). Limited places are available. Applications accepted for auditors online via the ULYSSES Platform until Thursday, May 19, 2016. 200€ subscription fee includes:

  • Special access to the IRCAM multi-media library
