Improvisation Ensemble—Dance, Music, Visual Arts
F06
Jon Isherwood, Susan Sgorbati, Bruce Williamson
This is an advanced class for students in dance, music, and the visual arts who are interested in exploring emergent improvisation as a performance form. We will be attentive to the construction of compositional elements such as the initiation of phrase material, the expansion of individual vocabularies, the development of forms, and the recognition and support of overriding structures. Participants will work in solos and in ensembles. We will risk revealing new material. Dance, music, and visual arts students will meet once a week together and once a week in their own disciplines.
