This course is being offered as a response to a need regarding preparation for The Orchestra Of Crafty Guitarists Special Project that will take place in Italy in March 2010, and is recommended for those:
1. considering taking part in the Special Project.
2. unable to attend the Special Project, but who wish to get a taste of how The Orchestra works and to contribute to the project through the preparation. This is also likely to be a springboard for an eventual Orchestra in North America.
It is available to those who have:
1. an established morning sitting practice
2. attended at least one Guitar Craft course
3. their application letter accepted
The focus of the course, and one of the primary questions in the work of The Orchestra Of Crafty Guitarists, is this question:
How do we work with others, and specifically in the Guitar Circle?
The course will be directed by Robert Fripp, assisted by a number of long term Crafties. Work in the House and the Kitchen will be an integral part of the course for all participants.
Participation in the OCG II AAD Preparation Course – http://www.guitarcraft.com/calendar/175 – is recommended as supporting companion work for anyone attending this course.
