Thinking Spaces: The Guelph ICASP Reading Group and Speaker Series has started again for 2010-2011, and has forged new links with downtown venues and organizations. New in 2010, the group will be connecting with a number of downtown partners including the Guelph Public Library, 10 Carden Street and Ed Video in order to work more closely with the Guelph community. The group meets on alternate Fridays from 4-6pm to discuss improvisation and its social implications, and explores texts and performance documents concerning improvisation practice and theory, which are distributed in advance. All are welcome to attend. The Speaker Series invites eminent ICASP researchers and guest speakers to present public talks throughout the year. New initiatives include moving the fortnightly sessions from the University campus to downtown venues, holding some of the public talks and workshops downtown, and inviting local community and artist groups to make short presentations to the group about current projects, and to share their insights on the impact of improvisation. For more information about the group and series, please contact Rebecca Caines at rcaines@uoguelph.ca or telephone 226 979 3620.
