SNAP!: Out of it

Open workshops In Free Improvisation
Its Nature & Practice

SNAP: Out of it!
:Workshops in free improvisation, its nature and practice. are delivered roughly every 4-6 weeks. The sessions attract between 3-13 musicians with a wide range of experience and competencies in free improvisation: in sound.

They have a formal structure and are "led" by the workshop leader who is responsible for the creative content and development of the session. All are welcome to the SNAP sessions especially newcomers to the musical form and practice but we believe the sessions will reward musicians of all abilities. SNAP:out of it, get out the house and come along.

  • Do you provide any equipment
    • Limited to

      • We usually record the session and make it available to the participants.

      • Pair of shure voice microphones are available
    • Plus what is at the venue
      • e.g. Piano etc Please check with workshop leader before traveling if you have particular need
  • There is no schedule why is this
    • Our life's are fast and busy and we often cannot do what we want because life gets in the way. So to help manage our collective schedules we use the web application called "Doodle", this scheduling software application helps maximize the attendance numbers for each session.
    • We have found that fixed schedules e.g. 1st Monday of the month although easy to remember or easier to org anise do not facilitate higher attendances, letting the participants select the date does! (Sounds obvious really)
