The applications will be examined and assessed by a specific panel who will draw up a list of the successful candidates, based mainly on the following criteria:

– Previous experience and specific training; participation in concerts, workshops, and seminars
– Motivation in line with the training objectives of the workshop
– Aptitude for collaboration with other musicians;
     for example, as in:
– knowing what to play, how and when to play it;
– knowing when not to play anything;
– knowing when not to play but taking the risk of playing anyway;
– knowing when, how and why to allow yourself to ‘disappear’ sonically.

The participant’s willingness to take part in knowledge sharing practices and engage in cultural exchange and dialogue will receive a positive evaluation. The judging panel reserves the right to contact the candidates directly for possible interviews to gain more information about their profiles and specific interests.

The results of the selection will be communicated to the interested parties via e-mail and published on the ImproComp.org website on August 1st, 2023.

The selected applicants are required to confirm their participation within 5 days of receiving the notification email and, in any case, no later than August 10, 2023, otherwise they will be excluded from the winners’ list.
