IICSI in Berlin Oct. 27-29

IICSI Director Ajay Heble has been invited to give a keynote lecture at “Out of the Blue: From Provisional to Improvisation,” a symposium with performances, concerts and workshops in German or English, being held October 27-29, 2017, at Haus der Kulturen der Welt , in Berlin, Germany. The symposium “Out of the Blue” creates the framework for a cross-disciplinary dialogue between art and society. The aim is to draw attention to the characteristic features of improvisation or provisional activity, to define them more clearly and to make them visible for everyone in the sense of a generally applicable strategy for action. The symposium is oriented to all interested individuals: professional groups who always improvise or work with provisional activities, as well as artists, scientists, practitioners and theoreticians who wish to take a closer look at the multifaceted, interesting cultural technique of the improvisational. 

In addition to his keynote talk, Ajay will be participating in a closing panel, as well as in a workshop on “Improvising in Different Cultures.”
