Laura Bowler
Across a week-long residency, Laura will be collaborating with three composers on three new commissions.
The pieces are specifically designed to expand Laura’s practice as a performer, whether it be through physicality, multilingual performance, expansion of her vocal palette or the development of a choreographed movement language linked to live electronic expansion of the voice.
Snape Residencies provide time and space for creators at all stages of their careers; a supportive environment to create, be curious, and try out new ideas. Open Sessions offer a unique chance to go behind the scenes and experience work-in-progress created during the Residency.
