61st Annual TV Week Logie Awards

This performance-based research examines the knowledge and skills required to perform as an ensemble musician in a live television environment. The research takes the perspective of the percussionist in the 2019 Logies Band for the 61st Annual TV Week Logie Awards, which was broadcast nationally live by the Nine Network. Successful, error-free performance in this time-pressured and space-confined context required: creation of an suitable multiple-percussion set-up design, high-level sightreading skills and ability to perform different styles of music, highly refined attention switching skills to prioritise acoustic, electronic, and visual feedback from co-performers and the television crew, effective collaboration with new co-performers to generate a successful performance with two rehearsals.
