STORIES FROM 2022

In 2022, the Innovation Studio partnered with design collective DesMuse to experiment more explicitly with using storytelling techniques to engage musicians in design work. This iteration of Chamber 2.0 was once again immediately following the traditional Chamber Music Showcase in the Gildenhorn Theatre, so a location within the Clarice was a must. Since this year’s Chamber 2.0 was particularly interested in exploring storytelling through projection design, a space with advanced projection capabilities was ideal – bring us to the Dance Theater. A space typically intended for dance performance, we heard from the fellows that the acoustics were “challenging” which initially frustrated the musicians but ultimately led them to focus on other parts of their performance instead.
