REHEARSING MOVES ON HAZY PATHS

REHEARSING MOVES ON HAZY PATHS

The artists Anna Zett, Angela Muñoz, and Minh Duc Pham will create a group improvisation with music and conversation, "Spürst du die Verhältnisse? / Do you feel the Between-us?" to jointly with the audience sense, experience, and explore existing and possible relations in society and between each other. The group improvisation will be organized mixed in both German and English.

The group improvisation directly connects to the key question in the series: Which moves do we want to rehearse for ways of being and doing, of relating and organizing, that would point beyond the established structures of extraction and power? How may we seek to do things differently, in more caring, nourishing, relational, and equitable ways? After the group improvisation, we will get together for a dinner centering on the relations between veggies by Akko of ROKU Berlin.

18:00 - Anna Zett with Angela Muñoz and Minh Duc Pham: DO YOU SENSE THE BETWEEN-US? Anarchist group improvisation for drums, melody and conversation 

Testing forms of resonance that combine verbal reflection with energetic communication, artist Anna Zett invited percussionist Angela Muñoz and performer Minh Duc Pham to create a new group format as a trio. Speech and musical improvisation alternate and inspire each other while everybody present is invited to listen and respond to the space between us. Do I want to sense the relations in the interpersonal space, do I prefer to understand them analytically? How to listen, how to tune in, how to interrupt, how to get involved? In this mixed media group improvisation experiment, the abstract builds on the concrete, the political on the tangible, the common on the spontaneous associations of each person.

Both the conversation format and the musical improvisation are open to the active participation of all present. The audience is invited to bring their own musical instruments (unplugged).
