A live dialogue
with Hans Hasebos and Marisa Grande for Dancers and Musicians
19-20 & 26-27 April 2008
W.A.T. studio - Werkplaats voor Actueel Theater - Amsterdam
The workshops focus on how the two disciplines of dance and music can play together towards a whole, live composition.
The aim is the development of a live dialogue between the two artistic languages, by looking at their similarities and differences allowing a common ground to be created.
In both disciplines we train and practice our intuitive intelligence and a compositional mind to engage, receive and respond as one organic action.
Musicians and dancers will work together as one group.
During the workshops the participants will have the opportunity to play and watch group improvisation sessions to learn by practice and observation.
This project is for dancers/movers and musicians willing to learn and improve their skills to compose in the moment.
The project takes place over 2 weekends. Priority is given to participants who commit to the whole period.
At the end of the 2 weekends we will have a presentation with an invited audience, as a part of the improvisation practice.

Hans and Marisa found each other in the work of Improvisation as an independent performance art form. Their passion and commitment for improvisation in their own discipline creates a strong ground for their collaboration, in which a shared vision unfolds.
Hans Hasebos Vibraphone. Multi-instrumentalist and Composer. During the eighties he becomes involved as a percussionist musician with the Jazz and improvisation scene in Amsterdam. He initiates Guitarbandits, a new look on Jazz-rock, and Bachelor Beats alternative dance music with VJ. He makes compositions and audio productions for theatre and film. Hasebos never embraced a special tradition, his eclectic approach in which classic, jazz and pop music fuse results in a personal sound. www.hanshasebos.com
