Improvisation and Instant Composition
by Michael Schumacher
14:00 - 17:00 , October 26, and 14:00 - 16:00, October 27, 2013
The aim of this workshop is to develop conscious presence while improvising in a performance.
Each session begins with exercises that explore relationships between thought, movement and
presence in the immediate environment. By promoting a greater awareness of sensory input, the
performer becomes better equipped to interact with their internal and external impulses.
The session continues with examples of both fixed and open structures in which the participants
improvise with such elements as dance, music, text, and light. Through practice and theory,
participants explore a process by which they collectively experience spontaneously created
compositions.
