Bobbie is a composer and practice-based researcher based at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Her current research interests are in collaborative compositional practice investigating the notion of citizen journalism's hyper-locality. 

 

As part of her fieldwork, she ran a large-scale citywide music programme called for-Wards inviting the city to co-create new music about its forty electoral wards.

  • for-Wards: Curating a Hyperlocal Compositional Methodological Framework (2020) author(s): Bobbie-Jane Gardner published in: Research Catalogue
    In this exposition, I present the curatorial methods I devised to create a hyperlocal compositional methodology used in the research project, for-Wards. for-Wards is a two-year citywide music programme involving a large-scale artistic partnership to co-create new music within and about forty Birmingham wards. The curated hyperlocal methodological framework I constructed was used to support the creation of hyperlocal musical works. I use the term ‘hyperlocal’ which is borrowed from the realm of citizen journalism. It infers community-produced news that is extremely localised. Hyperlocal is concerned with events and stories within a specific geographic community (Radcliffe 2012).
