Summary

This course is for dancers and musicians interested in working on the performance of improvisation. For musicians specific attention is given to creating rhythms and sonorities which can then be manipulated and developed while interacting with dancers in the moment. Once a week dancers will have a class with musicians in collaboration on improvisational structures. Musicians will meet separately to explore improvisation concepts, readings, and discussions on the history of improvisational forms and its development. Musicians are expected to have basic skills on their instrument and be able create and convey a sense of form to other musicians.
