(There will be an additional session held on the Tuesday August 13 week 3)
The improvisation sessions on the Summer Intensive are reflective of the Sunday Sessions held weekly at the OT301 Bodlabot studio by the Amsterdam community of dancers, performers, text artists and musicians.
These Sessions are held in the studio 1 space integrating lighting, music, dance, text, performance art, acting and song with a fully equipped lighting board and sound system.
We invite participants to lift isolated discussions, questions, statements and ideas in this platform bringing up any issues that arise out of the workshops, out of individual rehearsal processes towards performances.
An adviser will be elected to help get the session started and to move a discussion along towards the practice.
The Summer Intensive provides local musicians to share in the practice of these sessions. You are invited to ask these musicians to join your performance groups out of the work that happens in the sessions.
Monday of each week, we will use the first part of the session to finalise the four collective groups for the up coming Freakatoni Witchy weekend performances (studio 1).
