MOVING INTO PERFORMANCE
Dance & Music Improvisation Workshop
By: Ady Elzam & Jake Sorgen
We believe in challenging the status quo, finding out new ways of interlinking dance and music, live, on-the-spot, instantly composing, communication through improvisation. We believe that to arrive in performance we must practice performance and that by this practice we get to know our comfort zone and challenge ourselves to outgrow it. We use improvisation as our main discipline for both dance and music in this workshop.
In this practice, music and dance are viewed through the same lens of instant composition. The sound inspires movement in the dancers’ bodies, and the body creates the impulse for sound-making (and silence making) in the musicians. In this workshop, the observation of sound and movement are just as critical as the performance of them.
Dancers, movers, performers and musicians will meet in one space to explore and exchange ideas about interdisciplinary improvisation and performance. There are two facilitators for the workshop, one of the field of music and one of the field of dance, they will lead the group into cross-art communication.
We invite dancers and musicians who are eager to open their practice to new methods of collaborating and creating, to join us for this workshop.
