learn
Learning how to improvise and deepening improvisational abilities:
our events for improvisation aim at beginners and advanced players, amateurs and professionals, young and old. We offer classes dealing with music improvisation for instruments, voice, sound objects as well as improvisation in movement, theatre, visual arts and poetry. You can choose between weekend-workshops or regular courses. Also, you can book a course as as group (see offers for groups). For experienced players we have quite a few continuous ensembles, some of which are still open for new members.

Inhalt/Content
FELDENKRAIS is a method with which we can optimise our action sequences. It is used in dance, instrumental classes, acting, singing, to free playing from unnecessary tension, to organize movements more efficiently and thus improve performance.
It is a learning by movement and a learning by experience. In gentle, coordinated movement experiments we explore and harmonize movement.
After we have retuned the instrument “body”, we use the lightness and the changed kinesthetic feeling in the body to explore new and surprising ways of improvisation – with or without instrument, vocally or dance-wise.
In times of Corona, special rules also apply in the exploratorium, which are summarized here: link
Please note that pre-registration is required for all events due to the limited number of places. The registration form can be found at the bottom of this page.

Inhalt/Content
In the feeling of coherence, movement opens up to us as a resonance. Its sound space is a garden built by nature, people and spirit.
We can feel the coherence of the quality, form and character of a movement. Those are a direct expression of the resonance of our sensual participation in the natural, social and spiritual environment.
Perceived movement as resonance carries us far beyond ourselves into the field of communication and interaction.
In this seminar we focus in particular on a distinction between ritual, performance and offering; three ways to approach world across all senses.
This workshop is again open to everyone – including newcomers!
Amerta Movement was initiated by the Indonesian movement artist Suprapto Suryodarmo and developed in a 30-year dialogue between western and eastern culture. Rooted in Javanese philosophy and meditation, Amerta Movement is a practice that cultivates sensitivity, openness and presence. Improvisation takes place in a context in which we develop receptivity and awareness of the constellation and composition of the moment.

Welcome to our monthly meeting for makam-based improvisation!
Once a month on Sunday, we will meet at noon to play and improvise together in a given makam or two for two full hours. The improvisation will be lead by Tayfun Guttstadt on the Ney. Theoretical aspects will be worked on, too, but the focus is on playing together and feel the mood of the respective makam. Typical forms of oriental music will also be introduced, everything by playing and feeling.
All instruments including voice and all levels welcome.
Can take place again with up to ten people.
Dates until June 2021: (please not the changes in December)
