Centrifuge and online exploring free improvisation in trios - February 2023

Session design: This series that is called Trio! is an online, telematic project hosted by zoom. Numerically there will be between 6 and twelve participants in the session

 

Introduction

Taking advantage of `zoom breakout room` the session will proceed as a series of trios. Each trio is in a `breakout room` that is a separate online space. There is no audience.

The proposed duration of each trio is 6-8 minutes. If there are 12 participants there will be a number of trios in different `break out` rooms happening at the same time. After each trio the participants change partners either by design or randomly, then another trio takes place. This repeats until the session ends.

The participants may be strangers, or neighbours.

This format `trios` is delivered by a schedule of alternate months, it rotates with its sister session `Click! exploring free improvisation in a duo`. It is expected that at some point an improviser may not know which room they are in.

There is no audition. It is not an open door policy.
Recruitment: The starting point is the Centrifuge & System 5050 contact list: and an online open call.

Dates & times to be decided by the participants.

Online host: Zoom.
Online presence: Improvisers networks online website.

Fee for participation. The trial period is free. A fee of £3.00 per month may be introduced at a later date.

The speculation: that the downside of zoom, as an online experience is the potential disappointment of the sound quality or zoom's inability to manage multiple instrumental `voices` . The speculation is that this minimized when the content is a trio. There is only one feed of one instrumental voice into one’s location.
