simultaneous collaborative improvisation
: where artists create at the same time from nothing, pulling from what each other is pulling from nothing *and sometimes from a prompt
Participating artists:
Ashley Chong (writing poetry)
Jacob Heeren (composing on the electric organ)
Gabrielle Kershaw (drawing)
Zachariah Zoske (making beats)
​
Every session except the last was recorded. Coming soon.
Session 1: From Nothingness (approx 10 minutes)
Session 2: From 'chihuahua'
​
For our third session, we created from one word from the audience, which was in this case, 'chihuahua'. The word changed the mood immediately.
Session 3: Within Time (approx 6 minutes)
​
For this session, we gave one audience member a stopwatch and told them to set a time, not tell us, then set it off as we began. We had to stop when the timer went off.
Bonus Session: Within Time and From 'harmony' & 'gummy bears'
​
We added an extra session and combined time restriction and prompts, letting the audience throw out random words as we created. It resulted in a brighter, child-like result across the board, pulling heavily from 'gummy bears'.
