Subject
‘Relating to ourselves, and others in music-making: An experiential workshop considering group dynamics in improvisational play.’
“My favourite performances, including improvisations, are the ones I feel connected to, to me they draw from honesty, freedom, and the ability to play. Playing with others impacts our expressions, we move from communicating as one to communicating as part of a group. Being ‘in tune’ or ‘aligned’ with the people we are playing with is assumed based on parameters of harmony, rhythm, or even the physical presence of a stage. In this workshop, we will approach improvisation considering how the individuals are relating to one another. Time taken to notice how we engage in groups, what roles we take on naturally and the potential of music to allow us to role play other versions of self. Expect ideas and open discussion, with prompts for practical exploration.”
