Making New Collaborations in Contemporary Culture

London Sinfonietta and the Jerwood Charitable Foundation are pleased to announce three new projects as part of the London Sinfonietta’s Blue Touch Paper programme. Working with the London Sinfonietta musicians, three composers working with collaborators from other arts disciplines will devise innovative and exciting interdisciplinary works to be presented throughout its Music Programme 2011/12.

Following an open, national call the London Sinfonietta has selected a group of composers and multidisciplinary artists to participate in the Blue Touch Paper programme. The three composer-collaborator partnerships, who have all been awarded a Jerwood Blue Touch Paper bursary, are:

• Steve Potter (composer) & Kélina Gotman (Writer/Dramaturg)
• Elspeth Brooke (composer), Seonaid Goody (Puppeteer) & Anna G Jones (Director)
• Philip Venables (composer) & Steven J Fowler (Poet)
