To improvise with sounds, with instruments, with technic, with the (inter-)medium is for me the most important way to come closer to the medium I work with, to its spectrum of emotional and embodied effects. The improvisation gives me the possibility to transform the actual emotional condition into sound, to work out and to express what happens in me – how the world effects me.
The improvisation takes the initial distance apart from me and let me create a deep connection with the material, the sound character, the embodied sound, and the movement that is a part of the sound, a part of my body, a part of the room and which is beeing created through the sound in many ways.
Before I work on a concrete project there is always the improvisation phase. And there are also projects where the improvisation is a main part of the event.
In collaboration works the improvisation let’s find a common flow that lets initiate the common working process in a special way.
In my workshops with different target groups the improvisation phase is the most important in the beginning – that everybody can find an access to the medium, to the group and especially to himself. Through the low-threshold access everybody can be a part of the group and can find its own way to express through art and to open up to artistic-social processes.
