About the event
This is an open session for musicians of all skill levels and advanced dancers. The music and dance will be entirely improvised in nature. We ask (strongly) that you open up your ears and eyes.
This point of these sessions is
to make music outside of a paradigm of knowing what will happen.
to embrace the non-linguistic and the non-literal
to embrace potential conflicts and turn them into collaborations or at least make the conflict somewhat juicy
to provide a proving ground for improvisors and allow them to grow
