Making the Changes: Ethics and the Improvising Business

Posted: Monday, November 14, 2011

ICASP Symposium December 2, 2011 in Guelph. Please join us for the symposium, Making the Changes: Ethics and the Improvising Business, which explores the intersection of business management, improvised music, and social ethics. The symposium brings together leaders in the fields of cultural studies, management, ethnomusicology, business ethics, and music performance to address issues that emerge from the intersection of improvisation and business management. Includes evening performances and book launch.

...partly because I know that’s the only way that we could solve a creative problem [using improvisation with children ranging in abilities] and what doesn’t work is trying to impose a template on the students who are not able to respond to that template.

– Pauline Oliveros (in working with Abilities First)
