Our monthly workshop program
Our monthly workshop program
Our project began quite simply, as a series of monthly group improvisation workshops. These workshops were intended to bring the music and sound art community of Dumfries and Galloway back together after the extended period of seperation resulting from the pandemic.
Since then, we have expanded our horizons beyond Free Improvisation, and widened our focus considerably. Our monthly workshops have different themes and feature a variety of different artists offering insight and learned experience.
