The Open Stage is an offer for experienced improvisers in music, dance and other arts. It provides the opportunity of monthly artistic explorations in varying adhoc ensembles, that we put together by chance. There are no restraints for playing, the performances emerge solely from mutual perception and (re)acting.
Everyone who has previous experience with free improvisation is welcome.

Listeners/spectators are welcome, too.

The dates until March 2023

BLONOVO: Figures Erronées (2023)
Frédéric Blondy (FR): piano
Alex Nowitz (DE): voice, gesture-controlled live-electronics (strophonion)
Sabine Vogel (DE): flute, objects

The German-French trio BLONOVO, founded in Paris in 2014, consists of Frédéric Blondy (piano), Alex Nowitz (voice, live electronics) and Sabine Vogel (flutes). In this constellation, they presented themselves to the public for the first time in 2014 at the Cité Internationale Des Arts in Paris. Now the trio formation presents the new program Figures Erronées. BLONOVO feels committed to the constant expansion of its expressive potential and its instrumental playing possibilities. On the basis of an improvisational practice of precise listening, acting and transforming, Blondy, Nowitz and Vogel focus on the mutual amalgamation of their respective tonal material. One of their methods consists of Nowitz’ vocal-instrumental sound dance practice. Using gesture-controlled live electronics, he not only records his own vocal material, but also other instrumental material at the moment of the performance and plays with it. Sonically and visually surprising results emerge, which challenge our reception habits, often calibrated towards normativity. The program title Figures Erronées alludes to such “crazy, wrong figures”.

Admission: 12/10/6 € (normal price/reduced/Berlin-Pass)

The concert will also be streamed live via our YouTube channel:

Simon Rose (baritone saxophone) and Ingo Reulecke (dance) perform in duo and countless other projects. Both are extremely experienced mediators and active in artistic research.

The session is open to musicians and dancers as well as interested people of all disciplines.

We will work on basic key issues like

• Trust
• Integration of the body
• Collaboration
• Perception
• Improvisation as an aesthetic practice
• Intention
• Process and
• Aspect of performance

The practice-oriented session will work on embodying these themes and engage with the character of the group. Special knowledge is not required.

We teach in German and English.

Class 2 from 16.00–17.10

Texts – please bring copies if possible – can be poems, poetic fragments or improvised speech.

Percussion instruments and a grand piano are available.
