ImproLAB with dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt and drummer/composer Martin Smidt
Saturday 8. May 2021 from 1-3pm
ImproLAB 2021 is organised in collaboration with Rotvoll kunstnerkollektiv and offers an open space for movement and sound improvisation for artists from all disciplines in Trondheim.
In this ImproLAB we dive into the world of percussion with musician Martin Smidt. Playing with rhythm, working with imagination and embodiment of the sound are themes we will explore while navigating between similarity and contrast, known and unknown movement patterns. The interplay between sound and movement improvisation serves as inspiration for new expressions.
The ImproLAB is lead in English by dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt in collaboration with drummer Martin Smidt. The ImproLAB includes a workshop part with set exercises and an open Jam as a playground for movement and sound exploration. It is a FREE event supported by DansiT, FFUK, Trondheim kommune and Rotvoll kunstnerkollektiv.
ImproJAM/ImproLAB/ImproSTUNT wants to offer an open, free, and safe space for movement and sound exploration based on dance, music, and contact improvisation principles.
