Improvisation and the Musical Mind
Hosted by Wes Carroll
As musicians, we open up when we make space for new sounds and silence. Using a mixture of musical games, theatre games, collective improv, and discussion, we will experience how musicality and connection flourish when editing and self-judgment are left behind.
Participants will be encouraged to explore their instinct, mindfulness, flow state, and instrumental comedy!
All instruments (including singers) are welcome.
The Monday Metro Series is a diverse collection of weekly workshops hosted by the Contemporary School of Music at the Victoria Conservatory of Music.
