Workshop instant composition

This workshop is given in English.

We warmly invite movers, musicians, dancers and performers to join a workshop on Instant Composition with a dance artist  Polina Fenko. During this 1,5-hour workshop, you’ll explore methods for composing together in the present moment!

Instant composition is a practice of group improvisation based on listening and collective awareness which offers interdisciplinary compositional and improvisatory methods of working/ creating. In the workshop we will work with our perception of space and time, will practice embodied listening and play with each other in a performative space while composing together in real-time!

The workshop is in preparation for the Call & Response Jam event later that evening in the kleine zaal of Theater Kikker.

Call & Response creates a space for improvisation artists, dancers as well as musicians to come together and create small performances.
