Concurrent is an improvisation research network of leading musicians, dancers, visual artists, dance and music psychologists and arts therapists from across the UK.  In collaboration with the University of Edinburgh, the Department of Performing Arts at Edge Hill University will bring a week of innovative Concurrent performances, workshops and discussions on improvisation to Tate Liverpool in February as part of the Tate Exchange programme. Engaging with the provocations that the most important exchanges are in ideas and between disciplines, the work will explore the non-verbal exchange of ideas through improvising, and how those processes translate between performance disciplines to support creative interaction across boundaries.

Performances will include live dance, video, installation and music. Discussions and workshops will explore unconventional facets of improvisation in theory and practice across a wide range of fields.
