Improvisation for Performance,
Facilitated by Justin Morrison (Magpie Music Dance Company)Musicians and dancers are invited to collaborate in a workshop exploring the potential for interactivity between disciplines. Emphasis will be placed on perception of and attention to the players present in concert with each individual’s employment of the elements of their respective medium. All players will be challenged to attend to the use of the eye and the ear while maintaining a conscious relationship to the space and the public inhabiting it. We will be working toward a performance experience that, through collaboration with the senses and with each other, provides greater potential for innovation and invention.
