• Composition Methods of Musical Narration in Postdramatic Theatre
  Polifonia project, Principal Investigator: Rita Mačiliūnaitė
  The object of the practical (creative) part of this artistic project is equivalent to the object analysed in the research paper Composition Methods of Musical Narration in Postdramatic Theatre. In addition to the creation of acoustic and electroacoustic compositions, the composer also plays an active role in interdisciplinary art. The research paper analyses musical narration in the works of postdramatic theatre which have a clear musical discourse. The objective of the research is to identify forms of musical narration in the works of musical postdramatic theatre. During doctoral studies in arts, the author plans to continue to actively create music for the theatre, interdisciplinary projects, stage productions, musical-instrumental shows with a very clear musical discourse and without the traditional dramatic narrative, where objects are portrayed (the story is told) using music. The main aim is to create a musical work for the stage (e.g. a sound theatre) representing the musical narration theatre which is one of the fields of postdramatic theatre. The work would consist of musical narration without the traditional literary text sequence. As the author becomes a participant-observer during the artistc project (since the object of the research and creative parts of the project is the same), she is expected to have an analytical approach of a creative artist towards the entire creative process from generation of the idea to its on-stage realisation.
