Audio recordings of the November 10th Stet Lab are now online.

A very big thank you to Franziska Schroeder who took time to grace us with her presence, share her expertise, and demonstrate (especially to Han-earl Park who joined her on stage) exactly how good an improviser she is.

Thanks also to Veronica Tadman for organizing The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) of… herself with Paul Dowling and Barry Twomey, to all who participated onstage (Andrea Bonino and Kevin Terry), and to the behind-the-scenes personnel. Kudos also to The Roundy and its staff for again hosting this left-field venture. (And a quick thanks to the Cork Indy for their write-up!)

Finally, as always, thanks to all—newcomers and old-timers—who came to listen, hangout and await the leap off the edge. We couldn’t (and wouldn’t) do this without you!

The Cork Indy has a little article on Mike Hurley and Stet Lab.

[Mike Hurley:] “I have improvised in quite a free and gestural way since I was too young to know what free improvisation and free jazz were. …Like anything there was a fair bit of ‘trial and error’ when I was learning. …One prepares for an improvised show in a similar way to which one prepares for a surprise—it’s best not to worry about it.”

…Understanding personal differences is key, he says, to a successful collaborative improvisation, particularly as the process requires collective decision making and a trust in one another’s abilities.
