Sandeep Bhagwati is scheduled to teach a course in "Structured
Comprovisation." For anyone interested in studying and practicing
improvisation and performed composition, this is for you. It is
cross-departmental, so it will also be a great opportunity to meet and work
with artists from other branches of Concordia Fine Arts, and sharpen your
live EA skills.
Recently, certain requirements have been lifted: you no longer need
audition, and you can register for just the fall course. You cannot,
however, register for just the winter course.
Enrollment numbers are dangerously low. If you are interested in this
course, you must register immediately, lest it not be offered.
If you have questions, you can email Sandeep at sandeep.bhagwati@gmail.com.
I believe the course code is MPER 498Q. Check your local listings.
