SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: MT Space "Multicultural Theatre Space: Intercultural Theatre Creation"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, March 1 at 1:00 PM (ET) for Thinking Spaces: “Multicultural Theatre Space: Intercultural Theatre Creation” with MT Space.  \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \n\nMore about this talk:\nMT Space presents a demonstration of the intercultural theatre creation methodology established by Majdi Bou-Matar\, and engages others in the conversations around devised processes\, ancestry\, and culture clash. This workshop / talk will feature four actors: Nada Abusaleh\, Ahmad Meree\, Brad Cook\, and Jewels Krauss. \nMore about the speaker:\nMT Space (Multicultural Theatre Space) was founded in 2004 by Lebanese-Canadian Majdi Bou-Matar\, who was a trained director\, actor\, and dancer. After receiving the same criticism over and over\, hearing that his accent was too thick or that he “didn’t look the part”\, Majdi decided to create a company that would become a platform for all artists that felt marginalized\, racialized\, and displaced. This is how MT Space was born. \nMT Space has grown from being a company that produces one show every year to an organization that brings culturally and socially relevant work from across the country and around the world to our community of Kitchener-Waterloo. We have challenged the preconceptions of theatre to create\, produce\, and present work that is accessible and affordable to low-income families while creating a space for Indigenous\, immigrant\, refugee\, and marginalized voices to be heard. \nMT Space challenges the definition of theatre to include all disciplines such as dance\, music\, multimedia\, and circus performing arts. As such\, MT Space is becoming a presenter of artists and arts organizations across many disciplines. \n\n\nTo attend the talk in-person or online\, RSVP via our Google Forms.

SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Dreams Come True "Improvisation and Radical Accessibility"
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Wednesday\, March 13 at 1:00 PM (ET) for Thinking Spaces: “Improvisation and Radical Accessibility” with Dreams Come True Music Studio.  \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \n\nMore about this talk:\nThe International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI) is pleased to host an extended Thinking Spaces event focusing on ‘radical accessibility’ (Rice & Besse\, 2020) within arts education. In this moderated discussion/mini-performance\, we are joined by special guests\, Dr. Caroline Blumer (Western University) and Allison O’Connor (Dreams Come True Music\nStudio\, Founder). They will share ways they have merged radical accessibility and improvisational practices in creating and sustaining inclusive musical theater spaces in Brazil and London\, ON Canada. This two-hour special event will feature a mini-performance by members of London\, Ontario’s very own\, Dreams Come True Music Studio (DCT). Come enjoy a live performance by the “dreamers”as they are affectionately called\, and also insightful conversation with the DCT team\, families and caregivers. \nMore about the speakers:\nAllison O’Connor holds a Bachelor Of Music Honours Music Education and Bachelor Of Education from Western University and has been an elementary school vocal and instrumental music teacher since 1988. She has taught for the North York Board of Education and Thames Valley District School Board conducting choirs\, bands\, and school musicals. Allison is founder and artistic director of Dreams Come True Music Studio (DCT)\, a studio focusing on people of all ages and abilities. DCT holds summer\, fall\, and winter music programs\, where “dreamers” learn\, improvise\, and rehearse in preparation for musicals and concerts. Allison and the DCT musicians have received numerous accolades and notable recognition from the community\, including The London Free Press and CTV news for their commitment to inclusion and making a difference through music. \n\nDr. Caroline Blumer holds a Ph.D in Music Education from Western University as well as a Bachelor in Popular Music & Jazz degree and a Master in Music Education degree\, both from the State University of Campinas\, Brazil. As a soloist\, she has performed in “Los Conciertos de Navidad” in Havana and Matanzas (Cuba) accompanied by Brasília Jazz Symphonic. Caroline taught voice in her private studio for 10 years. She was instructor for the “Popular Singing” and “Singing for Actors” courses at Carlos Gomes Conservatory (Campinas). She was Musical Director and Vocal Coach in\nimportant Brazilian musical theater productions such as “Malandro’s Opera”\, “The Lion King”\, “Man of La Mancha”\, “Notre Dame of Paris” and others. Alongside her work as a jazz singer and musician\, she is a researcher and teacher interested in inclusive musical contexts where people with intellectual disabilities experience music-making. Caroline has worked with individuals with disabilities and individuals on the Autistic Spectrum within inclusive musical theatre programs and schools in Brazil. In Canada\, she is engaged as a volunteer and researcher with two inclusive musical programs at L’Arche Community and Dreams Come True Music Studio in London\, ON. \nGet up each day and sing your song. \n\nThese words are near and dear to my heart not only because they were composed by our friend Ken Fleet\, but also because Dreams Come True Music Studio aspires for everyone of all ages and all abilities to be able to get up each day and sing their song. \nThe Dreams Come True Music Studio creates opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to participate in high quality productions and to transform their lives through music. The studio celebrates diversity\, inclusion\, acceptance\, and all abilities. \nIt was April 2018 while walking my dog Max\, that I was chatting with my sister Heather on the phone about my dream to find a music program which was truly inclusive for all; one in which my son Cameron could be successful. He has been surrounded by music all his life and knowing the importance of music in life\, I wanted Cameron to experience success with music. We found our love of sport through Special Olympics but we were missing the music piece. Because of his intellectual disability and FASD\, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder\, he learns differently. But he learns. The goal was for Cameron to experience music and feel confident. Those of you who have been involved in music programs must relish the memories of your rehearsals\, your concerts\, your shows and your friendships made through music. I want that for everyone. \nDuring that walk with Max\, my sister said\, “Stop looking for the program. Create it. You are a music teacher specialist and have been advocating for inclusion since you and Cameron became family.” \nSo began the adventure. We offer Summer\, Fall and Winter programs all culminating in amazing Showcase Concerts. Rehearsals are spent together singing\, moving\, experiencing music and making friendships. We don’t try harder\, we try differently. We are a family. We are not a special needs music group. We are not a kids choir. We are a fantastic\, dedicated and energetic Musical Theatre group! I am so proud of every one of my musicians. It is a privilege to work with our families\, musicians\, caregivers\, local agencies and spectacular volunteers who make our dreams come true. They teach me so much and I am grateful. \nOur musicians: Wow! They are capable and we believe in them. We thank them for pushing themselves personally and musically. They make a difference. \nPlease visit our website\, Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram to learn about our DCT Family and our upcoming programs. \nI want to thank my son\, Cameron for believing in the power of Music. He provided the experiences for me to help to make this happen. Being removed from programs\, being told to look elsewhere\, motivated me to show others what he CAN do. The journey can be lonely but now with our Dreams Come True Family\, we are not alone. We believe. \nWe thank you for believing. This experience will be forever in our hearts.\n#inclusion #abilitiesfirst #singyoursong \n\nTo attend the talk in-person or online\, RSVP via our Google Forms.

SUMMARY:"Mop Mop" aka "Boff Boff" aka "For Big Sid": Max Roach\, Transcription\, Composition\, Improvisation\, Rhythm\, and Creativity | IMPR Colloquium: Nick Fraser
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, March 15 at 1:00 PM (ET) for “Mop Mop” aka “Boff Boff” aka “For Big Sid”: Max Roach\, Transcription\, Composition\, Improvisation\, Rhythm\, and Creativity | IMPR Colloquium with Nick Fraser. \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph\, as well as online via Zoom.\n \nMore About this Talk:\nMusical improvisation is real-time invention––the creation of the new. My master’s research examined one of the most common current ways of teaching musical improvisation in the jazz education system: the act and study of “transcription\,” whereby students learn other musicians’ improvised acts (usually iconic “solos” from the jazz tradition)\, commit them to paper (or memory). The pervasiveness of this practice was interrogated through Gilles Deleuze’s and Félix Guattari’s conception of “the smooth and the striated” and Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s work on embodiment and speech. I argued that transcription\, as currently taught\, privileges a type of listening that elevates individual improvised acts above group interaction and is only tangentially related to improvisation itself. Further\, though jazz educators speak of transcription as a part of the process of arriving at a personal approach to improvising\, by defining improvisation within such measurable models\, I argued that its implementation has (in Deleuze’s terms) taken something smooth (fluid\, negotiable\, dialogic) and fashioned it into something more striated (repeatable\, set\, hierarchical). For this presentation\, I will demonstrate some of the issues raised by this work\, using different strategies in performances of Max Roach’s solo drum piece\, “For Big Sid\,” offering openings to discuss the complex intersection of composition and improvisation in musical performance (which is the focus of my doctoral research). \nMusical improvisation can stand alone or occur within compositional parameters. In the mid-1960s\, composer and saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell spoke of composition as the creation of an environment and made a distinction between “composition” and what he imagined as a possible “free” music. Regarding his early work\, Sound\, he states\, “the musicians are free to make any sound that they hear at a particular time. That could be somebody who felt like stomping on the floor\, well\, he would stomp on the floor.” Mitchell (and many others) compose music that rejects the composition/improvisation binary\, embracing a wide spectrum of intentionality where the ideas and desires of the performers can be central to the pieces––equal\, in fact\, to the those of the composer. In my view\, too much improvised artwork hinges on the mere possibility of unexpected events\, and exactly how those events play out can be viewed as incidental to the work––their occurrence can be conflated with artistic success. I believe this question to be key to writing contemporary music for improvisers––not merely “if we wish\, we can stomp on the floor” as Mitchell would have it\, but “if we are to stomp on the floor\, how do we stomp on the floor?” If the art of improvising in music is to be advanced\, and if composition within this artform is the creation of environments\, those environments must be conducive to judgement and discipline\, as well as to novelty and the unexpected. As the Jimmie Lunceford Band sang in 1939\, “it ain’t what you do\, it’s the way that you do it.” \nMore About the Speaker:\nNick Fraser has been an active and engaging presence in the Toronto new jazz and improvised music community since he moved there from Ottawa in 1995. He has worked with a veritable “who’s who” of Canadian jazz and improvised music and with such international artists as Tony Malaby\, Kris Davis\, Marilyn Crispell\, Anthony Braxton\, and William Parker. Nick’s recorded works as a leader include Owls in Daylight (1997)\, Nick Fraser and Justin Haynes are faking it (2004)\, Towns and Villages (2013)\, Zoning (2019)\, and If There Were No Opposites (2021). For 10 years\, he co-led the co-operative group Drumheller\, who released four critically acclaimed CDs between 2005 and 2013. Other projects that occupy Nick regularly are the Florian Hoefner Trio\, Ugly Beauties\, Peripheral Vision\, the Lina Allemano Four\, and Titanium Riot. Nick has been engaged in graduate studies at the University of Guelph since 2021. \n“Fraser not so much plays the drums as hurls himself whole body and soul against skin and metal… truly talented.” Bill Stunt\, CBC Radio. \n“The Toronto drummer is perhaps a little too progressive for the hidebound Canadian scene… Fraser is a deft and sensitive percussionist with a hint of an enigmatic streak\, a feeling for economical gestures\, and an innate sense of form.” Mark Miller\, The Globe & Mail. \nTo attend the talk in-person or online\, RSVP via our Google Forms.
