What does risk-taking mean to performers from different fields? Are risks beneficial or detrimental to the act of performing? And how can we develop risk-friendly training environments that foster both creativity and sound decision-making? Prof. Aaron Williamon and his guests will discuss what risk-taking entails for performers in music, circus and medicine, and what can be shared between these fields. Lunch boxes will be provided.
