Kenji Takagi & Emily Wittbrodt
Movement Sound Interface – Individual Research

© yakoone

In this workshop improvisation will be explored from two different but overlapping angles: the perspective of movement and the perspective of sound. The main approach will be the question, how to make musical concepts fruitful for individual movement research. Signs, indications and forms that appear in musical scores will be transposed into the realm of movement and scrutinized as sources for creating improvisation. Emily and Kenji, both drawing from their different individual practice as a musician or dancer, will motivate the participants to experiment with their own creative potential. Everybody is invited to contribute with movement as well as with sound. Emily will support with live cello.

The tasks may vary from incredibly simple to highly confusing. No pre-knowledge of music or music notation is needed for the participation. It is enough to be curious and open to explore movement and sound in a playful way.
