Description and community agreements from pittsburghsoundpreserve.org
Open Improvisation Lab – a series of improvised performances by members of the public – open to anyone to join! Bring an instrument, sing, dance, recite poetry, or otherwise creatively contribute to a night of freely improvised music and multimedia expression. Hosted every other Monday at Bantha Tea Bar.
Community Agreements
We want to create a space for people from different backgrounds, with all different levels and types of musical training, to improvise together. This means we will navigate collective sound making while doing our best to let go of musical underlying assumptions and remain open to process. We can ask the questions: What does the sound want to be? What feels interesting to us? How can we have a positive conversation across traditions / cultures / backgrounds / levels of training? To ensure this is successful, we want to introduce 5 community agreements that will help make this event one that is welcoming and free of negative judgment.
We agree to approach one another with openness, respect, and kindness. You do not have to like everything that everyone does, but we do ask that you are respectful of others’ aesthetic choices both on and off the bandstand. As Pauline Oliveros would say, “lift off judgment.”
