At this Open Stage, poetic texts and music meet in a space for improvisation. Everyone who feels like participating musically, poetically or recitatively is invited to playfully explore such modes of encounter. Other forms of improvisation (e.g. dance, painting, or performing arts) are also welcome in creative exchange.

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

Percussion instruments and a grand piano are available.

John Cage said, “A sound is perceived as disturbing – unless you listen to it.”

R. Murray Schafer went even further in 1971 in his study The Tuning of the World and recognized the sounds of our everyday environment as essential for the well-being and even the health of human beings. To improve and stabilize the quality and balance of these regular consonances of soundscapes (sonic landscapes) is the main concern of the worldwide movement of “acoustic ecology”.

The explo-soundwalks are relaxed excursions into the varied “symphony of everyday life”. The group undertakes a listening journey through various interesting sounding places around the exploratorium.

The soundwalks take place before one of our concerts and will be scheduled so that all participants are back in the exploratorium right in time for listening to the concert.

Dates until January 2023
Thu 07.07. | Thu 01.09. | Thu 13.10. | Thu 17.11. | Fri 27.01.

No special corona rules apply outdoors. However, we recommend keeping a distance from each other.

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 January 2023
29.05. | 26.06. | 28.08. | 18.09. | 16.10. | 13.11. | 18.12. | 15.01.
