On Saturday 26th November at 3pm, a Concurrent workshop led by Graeme Wilson will draw on learning from the premier of Stones, Cloudsl at Concurrent#1.
Stones, Clouds at Concurrent#1
It aims to explore how a psychological model of the choices made while improvising music in a group can facilitate the spontaneous interaction of musicians and dancers. Following some exploratory exercises and performance, renowned vibraphonist and improvisatory thinker Corey Mwamba will lead a discussion with audience and performers on how meanings can be translated or inferred between disciplines in the absence of words.
The workshop is free to observe and promises an exciting afternoon of practice and debate; come along if you can!
