Crib Concerts Presents:
Wilson Shook
two solo sets and a discussion
Crib House, Arcata, CA (RSVP with Gregg Moore for address)
My talk centered around some passages and ideas from Jean-Paul Sartre's 'Nausea,' as applied to the field of improvisation, and the idea of ritual as applied to performance. We also talked about sociability and saxophone techniques. I hope to gather and refine some of these ideas into a piece of writing. Stay tuned.
