Improvisation is a form of musical exploration and discovery. What we explore, and what we work with in improvisation, is our lived experience. Improvisation is also a way to share our experience with others. Our goal is to be present in body, heart and mind, and to be unafraid of who we are in community.

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the connection of mindfulness practice and the creative process.

• Session I | Feb 18: We will investigate our individual creative resources- our sense perceptions, emotions, and imagination- and how we utilize these resources to make music.

• Session II | March 4: We will focus on community- how our individual creative process can expand to incorporate and support others in making music together.

• Session III | March 18: We will reflect on what we’ve learned, on what works, and on what needs work.
