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.

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 July 2022
Thu 09.12. | Thu 17.02. | Thu 07.04. | Fri 20.05. | Thu 07.07.

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

In 2019 – for the 15th birthday of the exploratorium – there was already a large space performance in the exploratorium, in which we included not only our explo spaces but also the stairwells, the courtyard and the wonderful cellar spaces in our building. While there was very little preparation back then, the concept is to be deepened in 2022 by spending a day exploring the special possibilities of the spaces and the particularities of playing together in a (possibly very large) interdisciplinary formation.

The performance will take place on 22 May at 14.00 on the occasion of the explo birthday party.

Interested people from all art disciplines are welcome

All currently valid Corona regulations in the exploratorium can be found here.

On 22 May, the explo has its birthday and turns 18. Finally adult!
Actually, we wanted to have moved to our “new place” already, but that may take a while, so we’re having our party at the Sarotti-Höfe. And because our favourite parties are improvisational performances, we’ll start right away at 2 p.m. with the “Art Flood ’22”: sounds, movements and images will be created in our explo rooms and then flood down the staircases into the courtyard and the basement rooms.

Afterwards, we will celebrate in a quite conventional way – with delicious food and interesting encounters & conversations. Contributions to the buffet are welcome!

If you want to actively participate in the performance, please register here for preparation: https://exploratorium-berlin.de/veranstaltung/interdisziplinaere-raumperformance-22-1/
