SNAP! Workshops : What Happens Next ?

If you are new to free improvised music or are looking for something different: what does attending SNAP offer next ?

• Live Performance: After attending SNAP there is the opportunity to develop your interests further via the "live performances" in public performances, Frakture offer three opportunities to do this
  • Splash Gigs : occasional batches of concerts organised by Frakture specifically to promote local musicians
  • Frakture Concerts : Concerts promoted by Frakture featuring out-of-town national or international musicians, there are occasional opportunities to play as the "opening or support act" or to play with the visiting musicians themselves.
• Ensembles. Frakture runs two ensembles : The Frakture Big Band and Half the Sky.These two ensembles are opportunities for you to develop your musical interests.
• Master Classes : Once or twice per year Frakture delivers keynote workshops with highly regarded practitioners from within the free improvised music genre, previous collaborations have included, Simon H Fell, Maggie Nicols, Carlos Zingaro and Eddie Prevost. This provides individual improviser an opportunity to work closely with established players as an experience in itself or to acquire new techniques and skills.
• Projects: another indeterminate phrase, from time to time Frakture secures funding for collaboration with other organizations to deliver and experience free improvisation in different contexts; e.g. Colourscape, Musicolour, Cross Platform Collaborations with dancers, painters, poets etc., Performance in unusual locations.
• Networking; the workshops offer an opportunity for participants to pursue their own musical or social agenda as a result of meeting like minded musicians etc. at the workshops.
• Design and Delivery: interested individuals may develop their own interests and skills by becoming a workshop session leader and design and deliver specific sessions that are of particular interest to themselves and musicians present.
