Tapestry New Opera Works' 
2004 Composer-Librettist Laboratory 
  
General Statement 
  
For most composers and writers the artistic process is a solitary one.
Beginning with composers and writers, Tapestry provides development,
guidance and financial support through the often lengthy, but ultimately
rewarding, new work creation process.

The Program 
  
Initiated in 1995, the Laboratory is an intensive ten day workshop for
composers and writers to explore the collaborative process. The
Composer-Librettist Laboratory provides the opportunity to work with
several partners in a short period of time, thereby developing
techniques for effective collaboration. 


Eligibility / Requirements 
  
Professional composers and writers who are collaboration-minded, willing
to explore new approaches to music theatre/opera creation and able to
constructively critique their own and others' work.

All Canadian participants accepted into the programme will receive a
residency bursary offered by Tapestry that covers program fees of $2,000
plus a $200 cash honourarium for the period. Non-Canadian applicants may
be eligible for a bursary and will be advised of their eligibility upon
acceptance into the program. Participants selected will be responsible
for their own travel and accommodation. 


Participants must be available from August 17th to 26th (inclusive) on a
full-time basis.
