Glo­bal Spring: The Ex­pe­ri­men­tal Im­pro­vi­sa­tion En­semble

Creating TimeSpace in Situ.

The Experimental Improvisation Ensemble embraces students from the different programs at the Sibelius Academy and the Theatre Academy, in order to develop skills for creating multidisciplinary performances in real time. 

For this occasion, the ensemble brings along a program full of sonic and performative experiences collected by the interaction of its members during an intensive course-laboratory period conducted by Sergio Castrillón. By merging together diverse artistic and cultural backgrounds, as well as different genres and levels of expertise, the ensemble displays a unique way of creating improvised pieces in different line-ups. 

Welcome to join us to this experience!
