ResearchWorks at Guildhall School of Music & Drama is pleased to host

contexts to explore different facets of adaptation in their work.

A wide range of practices are represented, including film, literature, 
visual art, choreography, composition, and piano performance. Topics 
covered include found materials, ekphrasis, memoir, Ballardian 
landscapes, ecopoetics, narrative, queer theory, and improvisation.

Papers, performances, film viewings, and workshops will be delivered by 
Emily Orley, Conor Wilson, Clare Harvey, Aristotelis Maragkos, Dabanjali 
Biswas, Amanda Douge, Matthew Kaner, Ed Rice, and Bobby Mitchell.

In the afternoon, the composer David Fennessy will deliver the keynote 
talk on his epic and visionary piece Conquest of the Useless for 
mezzo-soprano, actor, orchestra & electronics, inspired by Werner 
Herzog's memoir Conquest of the Useless, Reflections from the making of 
Fitzcarraldo.
