A fugue begins with a single line

A single voice sings the idea.

A while later, another voice joins, then another, then another until all the ideas, all the voices sing together, each layer contributing to the whole. It’s at once individual and collective, solo and chorus.

Our version of a ‘fugue’ isn’t necessarily music based. The intersecting ideas could be musical, but also could be dance, filmic, poetry, participatory and visual ideas
