Media Coverage of Research Matters Event

Project Director Ajay Heble was warmly received by a full house of enthusiastic listeners at Kitchener's Tannery Event Centre. Heble, who presented a talk, "Improvisation will be at the core of sustainable communities and unprecedented change," was joined by Donna Kotsopolous (Wilfrid Laurier), Andrew Pelling (Ottawa), and Amir Khajepour (Waterloo). In addition to the capacity crowd at the venue, a large audience followed the Research Matters event online, eager to hear about the night's topic, "Life in 2030." A very special thanks to ICASP supporters, members, and partners who took the time to attend the event, follow the live-stream, or keep up with the live-tweeting on the official ICASP twitter feed.

Improvisation is, simply put, being and living this very moment. No one can hide in music, and improvising in music is to be truly in this very moment and being completely yourself, with all your qualities and faults. It is probably the most honest state for a human being to be in.

– John McLaughlin in an interview with Daniel Fischlin.
