Breath Cycles (workshop)
|
13 April, 2024

“Breath Cycles” is a public workshop hosted by Ptilia Ensemble in which we invite members of the public to come together to learn about the deep listening and Sonic Meditations practices created and composed by Pauline Oliveros. Participants will be guided through a series of mental and (gentle) vocal exercises/scores.
The workshop comes after a weekend-long retreat where Ptila Ensemble meets to deepen our own creative practices as a group and develop new scores together. A concert of these works will follow the workshop so we invite all participants to stay for the performance. The workshop will be led in a hybrid of Hebrew and English. Please message us to reserve your place. We have spots for up to 12 people. ptilia.info@gmail.com 18:00-19:30 | 13 April 2024 Haifa facebook event |

In Pauline Oliveros’ ‘Sonic Meditations’ works, she emphasizes the importance of the breath, of being an observer of one’s own breathing. Inspired by this attention, we invite you to ‘Breath Cycles’, a performance of new scores created by Ptilia. The concert comes after a weekend-long retreat where Ptila Ensemble meets to study pieces from Oliveros’ ‘Sonic Meditations’ workbook, deepen our own creative practices as a group and develop the new scores together.

Hybrid Futures: Scriptwriting/Storytelling Workshop
|
19 April, 2024
|
Queered Futures Lab presents Hybrid Futures; a half day scriptwriting workshop in collaboration with local playwright, Jara Nassar. This will be part of an experimental journey towards collectively creating a sci-fi futurist theatre play which engages more deeply in social justice, queerness, community, technology and the environment through a queer feminist lens. This process takes place throughout the year between Berlin and Amsterdam, culminating in a translocal community theatre production at the beginning of 2025. Friday, April 19th from 14:30 - 19:00 Hopscotch Reading Room, Gerichtstraße 45, Berlin |
Hybrid Futures: Songwriting/Performance Workshop
|
24 April, 2024

Queered Futures Lab presents Hybrid Futures; a 4.5 hour-long songwriting and performance workshop. This will be part of an experimental journey towards collectively creating a sci-fi futurist theatre play which engages more deeply in social justice, queerness, community, technology and the environment through a queer feminist lens. This process takes place throughout the year between Berlin and Amsterdam, culminating in a translocal community theatre production at the beginning of 2025. Hybrid Futures: Songwriting and Performance Workshop directly follows a scriptwriting workshop, which takes place the week prior in Berlin. Materials created from the Berlin workshop will be ingested, reinterpreted and “songified” in our songwriting workshop. Together, we will explore songwriting basics and popular chord progressions in order to create simple, musical drafts of the working script. We hope that this will serve as a playful experience of polyvocal writing. 16:30 - 21:00, 24 April 2024 Bar Bario, Bilderdijkstraat 186, 1053 LD Amsterdam |
