Mash Up

 

In the performance ‘Mash Up’, we work with the relationship between body and sound, trying to figure out what movements are initiated by what sounds – and vice versa. As an example, we explore how movements of the body can turn into music on a drumset. And how the sound of a drumset can translate into movement.

You are part of the performance with your movements, guided by the musicians and the dancers. Together, we find out how the body can create forms, sounds and atmospheres – it could be a cartoon figure or a landscape. Can you dance a thunderstroke, or play the sound of karate?
