The Ensemble Interface Project is dedicated to redefining ensemble performance through innovative, transdiciplinary practices. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Scott Walker-Parker's research, the project aims to create immersive experiences that engage musicians and audiences alike. By embracing accessibility, nonverbal communication, and collaborative flexibility, we strive to foster environments where creativity, well-being, and community thrive.
We envision a future where ensemble performance transcends traditional boundaries, becoming a dynamic and inclusive art form that reflects the diverse voices and experiences of its participants. Through research-driven innovation and community engagement, The Ensemble Interface Project seeks to cultivate a culture of artistic expression, mental wellness, and collaborative exploration, paving the way for new opportunities within the workforce.
