Julia Milsom - Artist Statement for the Workshop:

"An important part of my artistic practice has been improvisation (or real time composition) in a performance context. I've developed a very keen interest in the integration of movement and dance. How can musicians emphasise and play with their physical presence both spatially and in terms of their movement? How can dancers take control of their potential sound making capacities? This workshop will utilise various tasks and methods designed to investigate these relationships and questions in an improvisational performance context."
