"The programme offered me encounters and friction with different minds and matters, challenges and openings, through which I had to confront my own practice, my methods, desires and reasons for making work. I am deeply thankful for the care I experienced on this programme... There seemed to be no limits to how adventurous (lost) one could get in the hunt or research, while still feeling the programme was with you, ears acutely listening and following the possibilities of the work through to the end."

"I found an incredible support in the several workshops technical staff, it felt as having additional individually specialized mentors, in addition to the two mentors of my personal choice - a magical concoction. Excellent black boxes, with an underground dungeon feel to them, perfect for electronic acoustics, two classmates over the age of fifty and Annie Charland Thibodeau! The MFA in Performing Arts at Listaháskóli Íslands allowed me to change direction, to turn my ship around. More than an institution, it feels like a social sculpture, which allows everyone involved to reach individual peaks, from which to soar from."
