Radio In Between Spaces interview






Far from producing a homogenous cultural space, the program series In Between Spaces generates new aesthetic hybrids and cultural spaces of possibility between pop and avant-garde, tradition and experiment. It takes a sensitive look at the so-called “global music”; in a world of multiple moderns, in which rural life, urbanity and digital networking are closely intertwined.

Every street is a playground

Every street is a playground is a series of workshops-demonstrations organized together with Inés Ballesteros and in collaboration with the festival Stormopkomst addressing kids of various ages. During the workshop we work with visual and sound tools around the idea of manifestation, asking the kids what do they want to stand for, what are their desires, vindications, complaints, etc. After the workshop kids come together for a protest in public space.

Welcome at Koorvorming ONLINE:

A wonderful chaosworld where Energies between People will be displayed.

You can Join and Sing along, Improvise, and become fluid!

Go to experiments.samenschool.org/alonetogether/koorvorming.html

At certain moments you will get live video-guidance for singing together.

A graphic score will be shown to guide you through the play.




This is an experiment on how to sing together and make a choir. Being in our domestic places all singing together. The outcome is a choir of all people participating, all the collected streams trying to find each other's vibe and motion. There will be all kinds of energies floating in the air, feeling, and feeding an unconscious collective.

Flowerpower


Flowerpower poster A2 paint, pencils and markers made in collaboration with Jesus Eloy








People were invited to join an experience to plant  the Flowerpower, a collective energy that emerges from coming together, singing and improvising.
The Flowerpower-installation shows and stimulates present and upcoming energies. The installation consists of a big flower-figure (hanging above our heads)
where 30 flower-heads (the halfs of plastic yoga-balls with little speakers) are hanging.  Maximum 30 people can join the experience by wearing this flower-heads.
In the middle are 15 flower-microphones who catch all the voices of the participants installed in a flower-figure microphone standard.
During the experience you could hear the other voices with slightly shifting volumes.
Also Instructions/ suggestions were given by listening in to the little speakers. Some of them:
- Feel the connection with the other flower-minds
- Increase tone rapidly - higher
- Repeat what you just have heard
- Give more space to the other flower-minds
- Improvise by listening/ move by watching
- …

This is a research for measuring the energies between people.
There will come more Flowerpower-sessions in the future!


Special thanks to Jesus Eloy, Sjoerd Leijten and Vincent Van Dijck!
