About this event

MERGING – en international sammensmeltning af musik, dans og billeder.

Ordet Merging er engelsk og kan oversættes til “at flette noget sammen”. Projektet MERGING går ud på at flette musik, lyd, ord, bevægelse og billeder sammen til en 45 minutters forestilling.

Kan du lide at være kreativ på nye måder? Vil du prøve at skabe en bevægelse ud fra et naturmateriale du selv har valgt, i fællesskab med andre?

Så er det dig vi har brug for!

Du er hermed inviteret til at deltage i vores kreative workshops forud for premieren på MERGING. Du bestemmer selv om du vil deltage i én eller begge workshops. Alle workshops er gratis.

Bevægelses workshop : Onsdag d. 27. august kl. 15-18, Maskinhallen (Adresse: Skolegade 8, 9900 Frederikshavn. Transport: Arrivatog fra Hjørring st. - Frederikshavn st. + 5 min. gåafstand fra banegården til Maskinhallen)

Til bevægelsesworkshoppen sætter vi fantasien fri og arbejder sanseligt i fællesskab. Med udgangspunkt i indsamlede naturmaterialer og reallyds optagelser fra udendørs områder i Vendsyssel skaber vi i fællesskab unikke bevægelser der er inspireret af det vi får i hænderne og lytter til i ørerne.

Workshoppen ledes af koreograf Eliot Smith, danser Yamit Salazar og musiker Liv Vester Larsen. Eliot, Yamit og Liv har stor erfaring med at facilitere kreative workshops for børn og voksne.

Praktisk:

Workshoppen foregår kl. 15-18 med en eftermiddagspause, hvor der serveres kaffe/the/vand og kage. Vi afslutter workshoppen med at vise hvad vi har kreeret i fællesskab. Deltagelse og forplejning (kaffe/the/vand og kage) er gratis. Husk en let madpakke.

Husk at tilmelde jer via Liv Vester Larsen livviolin@hotmail.com (senest tirsdag d.26/8).

Der kræves ingen speciel forudsætning for at deltage - alle er velkomne! Børn fra 7-12 år anbefales at deltage med en voksen.

ESD returned to live performances in July 2021 and celebrated their 10th anniversary.
