Workshop of collective spontaneous improvisation

Lecture and workshop in Lublin. In workshop I will present  technics of preparation to collective activity, technics came from martial art which I treat as a one of paradigm of activity in group. And the technics of preparing for cooperation ("negative cooperation" in prakseology) in martial arts are most useful in my opinion (since 5 years I practise TaiJi Quan Chen). If You are interested in what we (as an artists-improvisers) can learn from masters of martial art, let You come to Lublin in Poland. Here You can read about it (only in polish): http://warsztatykultury.pl/?p=351

Why Thomastik?

Lot of people asked me: why Thomastik-Infeld? There are not so popular strings for bass guitar. I can say only: there are the best strings for acoustic bass guitar which I've ever used. Clear?
