Welcome to the ImproLab with Emil Storløkken Åse and Anna Thu Schmidt on Sunday 22 September 2024 5–7pm at DansiT.

ImproLab is an improvisation laboratory for artists from all disciplines and the community of movement and sound enthusiasts in Trondheim. The Lab wants to offer creative approaches to certain topics that can be explored interdisciplinary through improvisation.

This ImproLab is a meeting between improvising guitarist Emil Storløkken Åse and dance artist Anna Thu Schmidt that explores the interplay between the movement of the body and the movement of sound. Together with the workshop participants, we aim to capture the impulses of the space. Emil splits his signal out through a quadraphonic surround speaker setup. He controls the panning of sound as part of the improvisation, turning the whole room into a soundscape. The event includes a workshop part with set exercises followed by an open jam as a playground for various artistic expressions. Dance experience is not required. Musicians are very welcome to join and to bring their own instruments. 

The event will be held in English and Norwegian. 
It is a free event supported by the Culture Council and DansiT. Doors open 15 minutes before the event and will be closed by the start of the event.
