ImprovLab, 87 Trent Lane, Guelph

Joe Sorbara recently contributed a chapter to The Improviser’s Classroom: Pedagogies for Cocreative Worldmaking, edited by Daniel Fischlin and Mark Lomanno for Temple University Press. “Attending to the Social Space of The Music: Self-Expression as a Site of Pedagogy” is an exploration of the ways that Sorbara welcomes students into the world of creative music. In preparation for this phase of their work, which will be to study the ways that other improvisers conceive of the music, talk about the music, share the music with others, Sorbara invites participants in this colloquium presentation to help question, problematise, and otherwise unsettle some of the basic tendencies and assumptions that have arisen in the presenter’s writing.
