Sound in Motion
Sound and rhythm inhabit us, and we inhabit them.
Sound in Motion is an invitation to explore sound, music, body movement, images and graphic scores. We work from free improvisation, body percussion and rhythmic games, with active listening running underneath.
Listen with your whole body, follow the rhythm, move, play. No instrument and no prior knowledge are needed.
