on February 25, 2008On the 4th of February I conducted workshop about the theme ‘sitting not knowing’ at the Walter Maas Huis. I introduced the idea that you can begin an improvisation in different ways. You can enter an improvisation for instance as sound, as communication, as looking for rhythmic patterns, as an exercise, as a slightly dramatic personage leaving your chair, as a performance with meaning included and so on.
on February 11, 2008Today I worked with the visual artist Barbara Philipp. She is a painter and performance artist from Austria now living in the Netherlands. I have a cello, a bow and a voice. She has lots of white paper, some paint, some pencils and sometimes also rope to create lines and connections. There is also a video camera. Sometimes the camera is just lying down and taking the sound, sometimes it is completely integrated as an instrument alternately in my or her hand.
