Kevin Kissinger thought EM streaming listeners might be interested in the workshop I'll be giving at Kansas City Festival July 22-24.
The workshop will be on Saturday, July23rd 21:00-23:00 GMT

Concepts in Free Form Improvisation: Creative Conversations or Tower of Babel?
- Facilitated by Charles Shriner
As musicians we engage in intentional non-verbal communication on a regular basis.
Often, when performing a solo improvisation - while we may play off audience cues - we are, for all practical purposes, giving a musical monologue. 
In a collaborative free form improvisation we move into a direct, spontaneous dialog with other musicians. We are responsible for listening and responding in ways that communicate, engage and inspire each other and the audience.

The intention of this workshop is to examine some of the ways we can carry on spontaneous, meaningful musical conversations with each other in the absence of traditional musical structures.
During the workshop we will be doing exercises, making music and discussing various techniques to promote musical communication including: creating a cohesive ensemble, active listening and interpretation, identifying and using motifs, emotional intimacy, purpose of ego, opportunities from the unconscious.

While it's not mandatory, participants are encouraged to bring a simple instrument - electronic or acoustic - on which they are reasonably proficient. If you are unable to bring an instrument, I invite you to consider the human body and voice as acoustic instruments Wink .
Most importantly, bring and an open heart and mind.

Charles Shriner currently lives in Indianapolis, IN and has been a full time musician for 37 years and trained facilitator of Jungian based experiential emotional work for 13 years.

Thanks Dave, I'm not positive but the workshop may be streamed on radio.electro-music.com along with the rest of the festival.
