[Peter Gomes]

*Improvisation & transformative processes:*

*A participatory research salon*

*@TINSalons*



presented by

TransDisciplinary Improvisation Network (TIN)

Middlesex University



Wednesday 6th July, 2016

1.30 - 5.30pm (UK time)



*Join us in person or via our live-broadcast*



Building on themes emerging from the ‘What’s in a Name?’ Symposium
(Middlesex University, Oct 2015), this research salon offers a space/time
for the sharing of practice and ideas across arts disciplines to consider
improvisation in terms of ‘transformation’ and ‘otherness’.



The event brings together academics and practitioners to consider joint
interests and our aim is to build the network of like-minded people to
expand improvisatory discourse.



*Format*

Arranged as a structured participatory event, there will be a series of
short presentations and extracts of performance practice, alongside open
conversations and collaboratively generated improvisations.



The event includes a rich array of contributions by invited London based
dance artist Rick Nodine (contact improviser), alongside Prof Ben Dwyer
(guitarist) and percussionist Simon Limbrick (Middlesex University),
Carolyn Roy (dance artist), Hilary Elliott (dancer, University of
Huddersfield), Mark Hamilton (world theatre lecturer, Regents University)
and Robert Vesty (performance practitioner, Middlesex University), amongst
others.
