EIMC MISSION STATEMENT

EIMC aims since 1995 at bringing improvising musicians, composers and other performing artists together internationally for creative sessions and workshops, formal and informal exchange and discussions. We follow the tradition of integrating "high" and "low" backgrounds - beginners and academic specialists are equally welcome and the participation fees should be low. We do not offer paid gigs or paid workshops. We value informal collaborations and learning from each other - there are no "guest stars" or "authorities" to lead workshops, only competent participants who are free to exchange with each other. We strive to cultivate "multi-mindedness", collective and democratic ways of working.
