Crossroads: Where Dance and Music Meet – For musicians who work with moving image. In conversation with a music teacher and scholar from the Scottish Ballet
The mission of Dance Education Canada is to not only promote lifelong learning and professional development for dance educators, but to provide them with the best and most current practices and training in 21st-century dance education. But what about musicians that play for dance, is there a training and certification program for them? If yes, what does that training encompass and why is it important? If no, how have musicians that play for dance typically acquired their skill set? We will explore these questions and more today with the help of a musician and educator currently working with the Scottish Ballet Ms. Karen MacIver.
GUEST: Karen MacIver has been associated with Scottish Ballet since 1990. She was a guest repetiteur with Birmingham Royal Ballet and worked as a contract musician at the Edinburgh Festival. In 1999, Karen turned her skills towards film and gained her postgraduate Masters in Music in Music for Film and TV. It was at this point in her career that she re-marketed her job title as ‘Musician working in Moving Image’, which embraced the duality of her work. IN 2006 Scottish Ballet invited Karen back, to become the first full-time teacher of a pioneering postgraduate Master's course for young musicians wishing to work in the world of Professional Dance. Karen creates content for her audience through various channels some of which include her Youtube channel and her E-book, The Art of Class, where she has documented her work as an improviser for Moving Image. Karen has lectured around the world and is most passionate about encouraging excellence in music for dance.
