Disputation Tora Ferner Lange

Field of study: Performance Practice

Tora Ferner Lange defends her dissertation with the following title:

Conceptualising performing bodies in an expanded music practice – a case study of Personhood by Jennifer Walshe, Andreas Borregaard and Oslo Sinfonietta.

The public defence starts at 12 noon and takes place in the Levin Hall. The trial lecture will be carried out the same morning at 10:15 am.

The Assessment Committee

The committee comprises the following members:

• Professor Sidsel Karlsen, NMH (Committee Chair)
• Dr Anna Pakes, University of Roehampton (1st opponent)
• Dr Joseph Browning, University of London (2nd opponent)

Pakes participates in person, while Browning attends digitally.

If you are unable to attend the Norwegian Academy of Music in person, you can follow the trial lecture and the public defence via live stream. The stream will not be recorded. Click on this link to follow the event.

We encourage everyone to attend in person, as in most cases a live stream will not be considered a satisfactory alternative to being present in the Levin Hall. In addition, this is a relatively simple video production, which may result in limitations in terms of sound and image quality.

The dissertation will be availiable in NVA (nva.sikt.no) two weeks before the disputation.

Associate Professor Tanja Orning, Professor Sigrid Røyseng, and Principal Astrid Kvalbein have been Tora Ferner Lange's supervisors.
