improvisers, networks

[jon <transmit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello.

a short call for off-list responses -- are there any of you involved in 
improvisers' collectives / support networks?  that is, a sort of launching 
point for collaboration, via a way of finding similarly interested/located 
people?  where successful groupings are supported by collective shows and 
releases?

i'm nutting out the details of such a thing for melbourne, australia.  so i 
ask favours of two kinds of microsound listers:

1.  anybody currently or previously involved in such a thing - please, tell 
me how it worked, how it didn't work, how it was structured, and what the 
perceived success of it was!

2.  people in the melbourne/AU area not already familiar with this idea 
through exp_melb, but who are interested, should also contact me.

please do so off-list, so as not to clog the boxes of all.

thank you very much for reading this far.

i hope your day is making you smile, and not just a bitter, cynical smile!

sincerely,
jon.
