The Composition Seminar is a series of weekly seminars consisting of special topics on current issues in composition and contemporary music led by members of the academic staff or visiting composers and performers.

In this research seminar, Lamine Sonko reflects on his longterm engagement with embodied knowledge of ancient rhythmic traditions in West Africa, as well as current research exploring the adaptation of traditional music, dance, and theatre in contemporary Australia. The seminar will include a discussion and live music demonstration.
