This peer session is an opportunity to meet other people who are interested in collaboration, to hear what it means to them, and to engage with the interactive and practical aspects of the workshop, with lots of room for discussion and creativity.The series is a peer 2 peer event aimed at women in jazz in Ireland, and is highly subsidised. We hope to connect with other women playing this music. Specifically, our topic for this session is COLLABORATION. - What does it mean? - How can we get better at it? - And let's give it a try on the day too, shall we?!
