Improv Mashup
1-day 6hr / intermediate / all skill levels welcome / NEW!
The goal of this patchwork improv workshop is to interrupt fixed pattern design habits of coordination, symmetry and harmony, in order to discover spontaneous aesthetic paths of design more suitable to the goals of flexible pattern work, such as diversity, mismatch, and the unexpected. We will accomplish this through a series of quick, randomly determined, improv challenges or scores during the first half of the workshop. In the afternoon we will learn strategies for including the diverse design scores into a single, dynamic composition.
