Tiny Orchestral FAQ | |||
Q:
What is Tiny Orchestral
Moments? |
1. An open, public practice and performance
incubator for
music-based collaboration across geographies, genres, genders and
generations. 2. A living school designed to provide opportunities for aspiring performers, producers, leaders, instructors, masters, organizers and audiences to experience and practice the art of Continuous Improvisation. 3. A sustainable series of weekly, monthly, quarterly collaborative community events designed to bring Music to life via development and presentation of world-class, transformational performances, products, and performers. |
||
Q:
Why is this work
important?
|
We must invest in, discover, learn and practice effective techniques
for sustainable collaboration, cohabitation,
integration and harmonization,
especially as the world around us appears to disintegrate. We believe in and have directly experienced the power of Music to fuel, feed and foster connections across cultures and countries. We mix and match beginners with mentors and masters to develop harmonization skills across alleged differences that might otherwise separate us. |
||
Q:
What is 'Continuous
Improvisation'? |
One Answer: A necessary skill required for
transforming how we work, play and live together
in harmony within a diverse, complex, global culture. Continuous Improvisation requires listening before speaking (or playing or acting), then application of intelligent, intentional, unconditioned skill in delivering whatever is required in the moment to enable exceptional, harmonious and energizing experiences. It is: a. the mindset that enables us to transform a supposedly wrong note into a beautiful resolution. b. a skillseta skillset that enables us to humbly recognize, reject and replace fixed, rigid, mechanical, formulaic reactions by receiving and applying improvised insights and innovations while integrating intentional, incremental improvements to deliver what is needed in the present moment. c. a collaborative practice that enables us to transform seeming disadvantages into advantages that may be required to keep us alive and thriving. |
||
Q:
What is a 'Tiny Orchestral
Moment'? |
One Answer: A brief, unpredictable, but reliably priceless moment
when an ordinary, collaborative experience transcends time to
become an exceptional and significant part of our shared present awareness. Stars align, insights appear, energies resonate and rise. Individuals spontaneously morph into coherent groups and perform unlikely and unplannable feats of synchronized magic. Improvisations vibrate with timeless inspiration, and improvisation sounds composed and feels alive. Collaborators synchronize, harmonize and solve problems that, moments earlier, seemed impossible. | ||
