Fokus och Scennärvaro: Jakten på en kompromisslös konsertupplevelse 2022 (Swedish)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis [Artistic work]

Abstract [en]

In this thesis I have examined how inner and outer preparations associated with a live experience can affect both the audience and the musicians on stage during a concert. What happens when we change the placement of the stage and the distribution of the musicians on it? By challenging conventional setups and methods of a live performance, is it possible to amplify the musicians and thereby creating a better end result for the audience as well?

The testing of my thesis was carried out through a concert consisting of three acts with different concepts: “Focus inwards”, “Focus that way” and “Focus energy”. During the project I composed and arranged music in a way that would give the ensemble the optimal conditions for focusing on the music itself and the communication on stage during the concert. I also hoped to enhance communication by placing the stage in the middle of the room with the audience surrounding it. 

Afterwards surveys were distributed to the musicians and the audience. The result was among other things that the ensemble shared a sense of excitement and felt like the concert lasted longer than concerts usually do. The audience reported having felt connected to everyone in the room and that the placement of the stage enhanced energy throughout the concert.
