Additional Conferences
In January, 2009, ICASP partnered with the Sons d'hiver festival in Paris, France (and with Université Paris 7 - Denis Diderot) to host an international conference on Trans-Atlantic Improvisation.
The international colloquium Improvisation: Ordres et désordres. Faits d’art et faits de société was held in Paris, Jan. 21-22, 2009 helped extend the project’s international reach (particularly among French scholars). The colloquium was part of the Sons d’hiver jazz festival; both the festival and the U.F.R. Lettres, Arts et Cinema at the Université Paris Diderot are now partners of the ICASP project.
Four ICASP members presented at the conference: Eric Lewis, Pauline Oliveros, Jesse Stewart, and Ellen Waterman. The four, who are all musicians, gave a free concert in Paris at Souffle Continue, an avant-garde record store and concert venue in the 11th arrondissement.
