The Meeting Point was an international platform for the practice of interdisciplinary instant composing, operating from Amsterdam, but in it's time also connected to artists in Helsinki, Berlin, Barcelona and Milan.
Improvised performance and instant composing seen as a disicpline in its own right, supporting interdisciplinary exchange, artistic production and social communication.

It all started with the Meeting Point sessions at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam, which are now continued under the name 'Monday Match'.

On this blog you can find the posts until August 2010, relating to the events that happened in Amsterdam and around (The Netherlands).


FOR ANY CURRENT ACTIVITIES:


The Carpet Collective
This is a new platform for interdisciplinary instant composition in Amsterdam, facilitated by Thomas Johannsen:
Find them here: instantcomposition.wordpress.com
We hold weekly research sessions where the performance professionals from various disciplines lead the work in turns. Sessions are set up to (1) train and (2) discover and define work methods and vocabulary that work for any discipline.

The Meeting Point as a project of Valeria Primost is being continued via this website: www.themeetingpoint-platform.com

The Monday Match is the current regular spot for music/dance improvisation (continuing the concept of The Meeting Point) every first Monday of the month in the Bimhuis, Amsterdam: www.bimhuis.nl

The Genetic Choir (instant vocal composition) has also now his own website. You can find it here: www.genetic-choir.org

Meeting / Music and dance dialogue, May 2009


The master has said that writing never expresses words completely and that words never express thoughts completely and that thoughts never express movement completely and that movement is everything that touches the space.
Improvisation is an art that gives and demands...
And dialogue is improvisation.

Makiko Ito and Valeria Primost: dance / Michael Fischer: sax, violin / Marcos Baggiani: drums / Anne van Balen: lights
