THE WORKSHOP
The workshop is addressed to musicians with experience in the field of collective improvisation. The afternoon sessions – led by Alvin Curran, Joëlle Léandre and Eddie Prévost – are devoted to instrumental practice, real-time-composing and deep listening.
The goal is to convey the notions, principles and techniques which characterized a phase of great creativity in this area.
The morning sessions deal with recent issues of musicological research: papers by Vincenzo Caporaletti, Sabine Feisst, Valentina Bertolani, Marc Hannaford, Maurizio Farina, Kai Lothwesen, Ingrid Pustijanac, Veniero Rizzardi and Gianmario Borio; report on experiences and historic perspectives by Alvin Curran, Joëlle Léandre and Eddie Prévost.
