SERIOUS PLAY IMPROV LAB (SPIL) is an art laboratory series for musicians, performers and artists to experiment with each other through improvisation. Several artists/musicians will be featured in every lab. First, each performer will present a short solo or duo set. Then, all performers will improvise together as a group.

Farez Jinnah played the bass for E, Amid the Mimic and since its inception, plays with The Maharajah Commission. Classically trained for 2 years before learning there was more to life than institution, he now does as he pleases, which includes stealing your girlfriend when you leave to use the washroom and tricking up his bass. All that has been learnt, unlearnt. All that is known, unknown. All that is heard, unheard. Namaste!
