Embodied Orchestra Kreis 5

Venue: In the Museum

Stretching thresholds, holding streams is a project initiated by artist Jeanne van Heeswijk and developed with Sophie Mak-Schram and collaborators. A growing constellation of invested people from the surroundings of the Museum are being invited to think in and with the museum's thresholds. Together – as makers, artists, activists, neighbours, and associations – they are working on a project that takes its starting point inside the museum and flows in and out of it, over a period of several months. Therefore, a central aspect of the project is the notion of a «stream».

What does District 5 sound like? What noises are being displaced by gentrification? How do the noises affect the people living there?
People? What sounds move us?

Together with the Stadtorchester, we will listen to the change of our city through movement and musical improvisation. The performances will take place at three different stations. Dealing with the effects of gentrification in District 5 plays a central role.

The Stadtorchester is made up of city activists and improvisation-based musicians. It includes urban planning and the, appropriated by people and nature, brownfield sites.

The Stadtorchester will perform a musical experimental improvisation with field recordings from the Sound Dérive* on Oct. 26. The musical improvisation will be expanded with practices such as deep listening, meditation and dance.

The event is open to everyone. No prior knowledge or dance experience is required. Come alone, with your friends, to dance, listen, watch, or reflect!

We look forward to see you!
