What is
RAPP Lab?
RAPP Lab was a three-year EU-funded research project supported by the ERASMUS+ programme "Strategic Partnerships". RAPP stands for "Reflection based Artistic Professional Practice" and the project has been taken forward through a series of multi-national encounters described as Labs.
RAPP Lab explored how the reflective methodologies of artistic research empower musicians to creatively respond to the economic-cultural environment with which they are confronted. The project brought together the artistic research expertise of seven partner institutions in six different European states:
Association Européenne des Conservatoires – AEC Bruxelles, Belgium
Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia Rome, Italy
Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia Tallinn, Estonia
Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Cologne, Germany (as Coordinator)
mdw – Universität für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Vienna, Austria
Norges musikkhøgskole, NMH Oslo, Norway
Orpheus Instituut Ghent, Belgium
These six Labs all over the continent run between 2021 and 2023:
