The training is aimed at musicians (vocal, instrumental) who want to integrate improvisation into their work, receive new inspiration or practice it in artistic encounters. Interested parties from other fields (dance, visual arts, education, therapy) are welcome!
The main prerequisite for participation is an open, curious attitude. Musical knowledge and skills are helpful but not essential. You can/should bring your own instruments.
The dates are part of a continuous cycle. It is possible to join a weekend course at any time. After attending about six weekend courses, you can register for an examination (certificate).
Thematic focus:
- Group improvisation
- Individual lessons (with observation of all participants)
- Teaching rehearsals
- Theory of improvisation
- Improvisation concerts in practice
- Methodology of improvisation pedagogy
- Playful-experimental approach to musical parameters:
Rhythm/ pulse/ tempo, harmony, melody, dynamics, stylistics - Playing according to programmatic guidelines: Themes from literature, philosophy, haikus, fairy tales, moods, colors, numbers, the impossible, contradictions
- Enabling constraints
