In September 2021, The Centre for the Less Good Idea’s SO Academy hosted an Open Studio showcasing the processes and techniques that informed William Kentridge’s commission by the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Shostakovich Symphony No. 10. This Open Studio was presented by Kentridge and long-time collaborator, Sabine Theunissen – artist and theatre, opera, dance and exhibition designer – as part of the SO Academy’s Thinking in Cardboard Mentorship in collaboration with UNITA Program and Scenography Today. The event was open and available to the broader public via live stream.
