McGill Colloquium

McGill University will present six International colloquia as part of the ongoing Improvisation, Community, and Social Practice Project.

Past Colloquia:

2008 Suoni Per Il Popolo Colloquium: Text, Media, and Improvisation

2009 Suoni Per Il Popolo Colloquium: Lex Non Scripta, Ars Non Scripta

2010 Social Aesthetics Colloquium: Improvisation & Social Research Group

So one of the things that improvisation has come to mean in the context of highly technological performance is that improvisation is the last claim to the legitimate presence of a human in the performance of music.
