What’s whispering?

Dear carpeteers,

 

After a long time of studying butoh dance, vocal improvisation and meditation in India I am back in Holland and ready to share and investigate further over here…

 

In december I would like to explore Interdisciplinary Instant Composition through the theme of listening. Of course, we always do when performing on stage as improvisers. And there is so much to listen to.

 

I am curious if we can listen on a deeper level. By cutting through the loud & obvious hearing the more subtle and probably less known. By hearing the loud and choosing not to (re-) act upon it, letting it ‘borrelen’ inside until it transforms itself.

 

What is needed – what can we do or not do – to be able to hear the more subtle?

 

And how can we make the more subtle we listen to be heard by others?

 

Some key words:

– slowing down

– meditative states

– being moved

– silence

 

What are the Carpet Sessions? / Where is the studio?  (click here)

 

Sessions are 5, 12 and 19th of december from 13.00-17.00

 

Session leader is Kristien Sonnevijlle (dance/voice)

 

Let me know in advance if and when you can join, so that I can see how to handle group size and different disciplines. Preference goes to researchers who can do all three Thurdays. Any discipline welcome, of course. Looking forward to play with you all again…

    1. hi ralph,

      (link doesn’t work in a comment, so click above, in Kristien’s text) 🙂

  1. hi Kristien, sounds great. I have all dates in my agenda. Only on 5th of December I would have to leave at 15:00…
    Let me know if that’s OK and how you’d like to treat that (whether you want me to come for two hours, or better skip that first session)

    Looking forward to it!

  2. Hello Sansville,

    Unfortunately I cannot be part of the sessions in December but do have interest in exploring avenues into sound and healing or sonic healing. As of January I can program open sessions at a nice location in Amsterdam for a number of times. If you are interested let me know so I can reserve the space for us.

    Already I organize open sessions Sound and Improvisation 2 times a month. If you or anybody else is interested to join, I gladly send some information.

    In peace Jessica Erdtsieck

  3. Is it the idea that you join all three dates, or is it possible to treat these sessions as seperate events?
    Thanks!

    1. Hoi Ineke, sorry for the late reply… It is the idea to join all three indeed, to make a thorough research with a steady group. If for any reason you can only join for example the first 2 sessions, let me know. It is not possible to join in after the first one… Can you join all three?

  4. Hallo Kristien, ik zou graag op 5 december mee willen doen met de Carpet session what’s wispering. Ik ben dramadocent en heb veel met beweging improvisatie en meditatie gedaan in mijn ontwikkeling. Ook een aantal workshop butoh. Nu is het zo dat ik zeer wisselend werk heb en pas op het laatste moment weet of ik daadwekelijk kan komen. Dus ik zou mij graag voor 5 december op willen geven, onder restrictie dat ik mogelijk niet kan komen als ik werk heb. Is dat mogelijk? Ik lees het graag.

    vriendelijke groet, Irene Antoniesen

    1. Hoi Irene, dank voor je bericht. Dat altijd veranderende werkschema ken ik wel… Als je de intentie hebt om alledrie de sessies te doen, welkom. Eentje is wat weinig. Als t die eerste niet lukt, wat lastig om later nog aan te sluiten. Hoop je te ontmoeten! warme groet, kristien
