Folk Song Lab : improvising folk songs

• This is a presentation of an on-going project funded by the Swedish Research Council called "Folk Song Lab - deconstruction, improvisation and flow”,The purpose of the project is to develop and explore new models for collective improvisation in traditional folk singing. The starting point is the ethnological performance-perspective, meaning that a folk song takes form only in the performance, viewing the song as a cognitive frame. In this explorative study, this perspective is researched using features of traditional folk song in new contexts. The project also aims at observing how the design of models for improvisation affects the participant experience of psychological flow, both on individual and on group level. The goal of the project is to establish new artistic expressions for folk song, thus revitalizing and renewing folk singing of today by means of collective improvisation and to shed light on how flow and artistic expression in a collective context are interrelated.
