The nature and practice of free improvisation in music

This is a full day event open to all where participants explore the nature and practice of free improvisation in music through a mixture of; the playing of the music, discussion and simple workshop routines.

The organisers hope to see new and familiar faces. The aim of the day is to create an open and creative space to to share music making and to interact in new musical combinations.

All levels of ability and experience are welcome.

The Open Day will include:

• A series of small group improvisations of fixed duration.
• Conversation & discussion between the pieces.
• A lunch break at the midway point.
• Workshop type strategies or games may be used however the emphasis will be on musicians playing free improvisation in music in their own time.

This event has been organised by Simon Partridge & Phil Morton who are looking forward to meeting you; hearing your music and sharing your ideas.
