FOCUS 2026

This year, for the first time, we are placing a thematic and practical focus on performance as a time-based, bodily, spatial, and collective event that expands musical and sound-based practices. On the one hand, we are interested in developing tools and techniques for dialogue between musicians and performers; on the other hand, we approach performance in a broader sense as a time-based and site-specific practice: Where does the boundary between concert and performance lie? What can be understood as a performative element, and how can this expand the concept of the concert? What role do presence, movement, and attention play in a live context? And how can dramaturgical, choreographic, or narrative structures be integrated into musical settings?

In Sound and Performative Gesture, Elena Waclawiczek and Je. elet Jesch focus on presence as a compositional element and develop a performative input specifically aimed at supporting musicians in developing performative gestures. In Imaginary Sound Beings, Milena Georgieva explores voice and body as a collective sound practice, in which listening and embodiment become forms of becoming-sound. Conny Frischauf’s workshop Nocturnal Listening will be whispered during the night in the forest. In Embodied Resonance, Bea von Schrader investigates sound as an embodied practice and offers a daily movement and perception format in which different places with different resonances are visited and sensed together.

Another focus lies on the direct dialogue between performers and musicians. In his workshop, Scott Rubin provides theoretical and practical input on how sensors, cameras, and digital systems can be used in collaborations between musicians and dancers. Performance becomes an interface between body, technology, and real-time composition. Last but not least, we are interested in the question of how to engage with the ephemeral character of improvisation, live happenings, and spontaneous situations. What remains of an event that emerges and disappears in the moment? How can a fleeting practice be documented, recorded, reproduced, or passed on? In NO FILTER, Kasho Chualan understands improvisation as a method for translating unfiltered material, spontaneous decisions, and political complexity into compositional processes. The lecture Micro Publishing by Sandro Nicolussi addresses the DIY reproduction of sound as an artistic and economic practice, in which recordings from improvised situations are transformed into physical and distributable forms.

SHARED INFRASTRUCTURES

In addition to the workshop program, we build the infrastructure for individual projects and collective artistic explorations. We provide several “stations” to plug, set and wire your output to the output of someone else or the technical device of your choice. Each spot equipped with the best Møntage facilitator to help you with your creative accidents. We are also happy to expand into the infinite resources of our collective intelligence: on the Collective Board you can offer your own workshops, share and search for know-how, collaborations, or devices, or feel lonely together and drift into the most potential boredom.

Zusätzlich zum Workshop-Programm bauen wir die Infrastruktur für kollektive, spontane und individuelle Projekte sowie künstlerische Recherche-Experimente. Wir stellen mehrere „Stationen“ bereit zum einklinken, aufbauen, verbinden oder verkabeln von eurem Output mit dem Output von jemand anderem oder mit dem technischen Gerät eurer Wahl. Jeder Spot, ausgestattet mit dem besten Montage-Crew-Facilitator, um eure kreativen Unfällen zu unterstützen. Außerdem freuen wir uns, die unendlichen Ressourcen unserer kollektiven Intelligenz zu erweitern: Am Collective Board könnt ihr eure eigenen Workshops anbieten, Know-how, Kollaborationen oder Geräte teilen und suchen oder gemeinsam einsam sein und in das magische Potenzial von kollektiver Langeweile eintauchen.
