Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation

This is an open-access, peer-reviewed, electronic, academic journal on improvisation, community, and social practice. We are particularly interested in historically and contextually specific articles that interrogate improvisation as a social and musical practice, and that assess how innovative performance practices play a role in developing new, socially responsive forms of community building across national, cultural, and artistic boundaries.
