Workshop : 30.01 – 16:00 > 20:00
Performance : 30.01 – 20:30
This workshop, open to anyone who wants to catch the core of improvisation practice, proposes two main ideas which have been gradually conceived through Seijiro’s workshops since 2005 and propose a new vision on improvisation and contribute to all types of improvisation practice.
His main proposals revolve around :
- Walking exercises with vocal sounds that clarify the spontaneous but at the same time risky activities of improvisation.
- Exercises to deepen solo playing
- Different situations of collective improvisation based on first exercises
A collective presentation, open to the public, will take place at the end of the workshop.
