At HighSCORE, her string quartet Juncture was presented in masterclass with Helmut Lachenmann.[8] Musical workBoyd's musical style is highly energized and engages with physical movement and the perception of time[9], drawing upon her years of dance lessons: "A huge influence on my compositional approach is dance and movement. I spent fifteen years in the dance studio from age 3 learning various styles from ballet, jazz, and contemporary to tap and hip hop. I even tried tumbling and twirled the baton to the tunes of a marching band in a few parades.These early experiences have naturally fed into the way I approach and think about music. My work often deals with connecting with physical movement in some way, currently exploring the use of gestures inspired by Laban’s Eight Efforts: float, flick, glide, dab, wring, slash, press, punch, as well as groove perception through the use of long-range polyrhythms."
