From an interview with Paul Beckett:
Which aspects of your work are most important to you?
The most important aspect of my work is the constant endeavour to capture the audience’s imagination. My focus is on researching and discovering modern music composed in this day and age and on creating installations inspired by the spaces in which I work.
Paul Beckett's residency was a Shared Residency with the Kurt-Weill-Fest Dessau.
