How TDC lunchtimes work

TDC Lunchtimes offer an opportunity to mix informally with colleagues from across the university. There is always a pot of tea on the go so why not bring your sandwiches and enjoy lunch with us? This term we meet every Wednesday for an hour from 1pm-2pm. There will be a talk or video or workshop for about 30 minutes, then the rest of the time will be taken up with conversation and networking around the teapot.

Location
The TDC is based in the old surgery behind Fletcher building, No.36 on the Campus Map. Access is by staff card, or ring the doorbell

Digital Opera Symposium, Friday 1st March 2013

Still image from Secret Garden- Digital Opera by Martin Rieser and Andrew Hugill

The Digital Opera Research Group investigates all aspects of digital opera, using analytical, musicological and creative research methods. "Digital Opera" is deemed to include works that self-define as such and digital works that are conceived on an operatic scale or with operatic intentions. It is a precept of the DORG that the art-form "opera" is being substantially reinvented in the digital age. Our research concerns the nature and consequences of this reinvention. This symposium will present new works and insights from the members' activities, and that of like-minded researchers, and offer discussion time on a range of themes.
