our mission

IMPROV SPACES is based in Saratoga County in upstate NY and provides space and opportunities for performance, practice and workshops for musicians involved in improvisation. We support work with artists in interdisciplinary improvisation including with music, performance, poetry, and visual arts, among them.

IMPROV SPACES introduces the public to the broad range of improvised music including folk, jazz, classical, and pop music and through sounds and textures, expanding beyond traditional musical concepts like harmony and form.

Improvisation allows for open dialogue through practice and audience interaction and feeling beyond the self. Improv Spaces invites collaborators and the public to be a part of the embodied performances and artsmaking process through the practice and tenets of improvisation.
