David Hernandez

SERIOUS PLAY – Improvisation Practice

A noter : This is a two-week workshop. Preference will be given to participants who register for the full two weeks, as this allows for a deeper and more immersive experience. If you have previously completed a one-week workshop with David Hernandez, you may register to attend the second week only. We will be building depth and continuity in the work. If you wish to participate in the second week only, please email info@tictacartcentre.com with details of your previous workshop experience with David.

Diving into a daily practice centred around improvisation as spontaneous composition and performance and the concerns connected to improvising. Exploring methods, honing skills, diving deep with playfulness – connecting to the senses and how they nourish us in improvisation. Considering readability and collaboration- performing practice, practicing performing, scoring, and free wheeling. It is a daily rigorous but fun work in order to gain experience and develop the skills of being an improviser. An example of a working day could be starting with an guided open warm up session followed by some more targeted investigations of themes and tools ending with improv sessions where we can implement some of the skills and tools we explored as well as engage in feedback and dialogue based on what we have seen and experienced.

There is an emphasis on group spontaneous composition with some exploration of voice work and musicality.
