Our members’ portal is designed as a place of meeting and exchange between the global vocal improvisation community. It is open to all who practice, support or are interested in the art of improvising music with the voice and body. All uploaded events should thus centre vocal improvisation, even though they might also include other art forms and non-improvised or instrumental music making elements. The Well reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove events that do not include an element of vocal improvisation from our global event listing.
