The workshop focuses on „free“, i.e. non-idiomatic improvisation (to differ from impro in historical styles, on given themes or jazz improvisation). The aim is to search for one´s own music and musical communication (to differ from training a skill)
- re-evaluate one´s approach to music, to one´s instrument as well as the other players
- to react to the others and to learn to make collective decisions
- to accept responsibility for one´s expression, to reach the roots of musicality
- to create, and together with the others to study own exercises, to independently modify given exercises
- to explore the possibilities provided by one´s instrument
„Sharing“: to express and share own feelings from playing, to formulate musical concepts.
The discussions help in refining one´s views of aesthetics and the aesthetics of musical expression.
