INTERSTITIAL LISTENING WORKSHOPS
@ LAKE STUDIOS BERLIN
SEPT 10, 17, & 24 from 15:00-18:00

Location:Scharnweberstraße 27, 12587

When you arrive, come through the building to the backyard. 

We will be in the outdoor studio. 

What to bring: You can wear any clothes that you feel comfortable sitting and doing light movement in. Perhaps bring some layers to stay warm, and journal and pen. 

Weather: The studio has a roof, so we will meet rain or shine!

Please note, this listening practice is progressive, building from one task to the next, so it is important that you arrive on time and remain present for the full duration of the workshop.

We look forward to seeing you there!

New DisTanz Solo Grant: IL & Interaction

Naccarato has received a second DisTanz Solo grant, for the period of May to October 2022, to support the project:

Interstitial Listening: Exploring somatic techniques for interaction design in dance and music

This grant will support the sustained development, documentation, and sharing of Interstitial Listening (IL) as a somatic listening practice integral to designing interaction in contemporary dance and music.

In collaboration, choreographer Teoma Naccarato and composer John MacCallum aim to: 1) deepen IL by way of intensive individual practice; 2) facilitate live/virtual workshops with professional dancers, musicians, and interaction
designers in Berlin; and 3) generate sustainable, multimodal, and accessible online resources.

Stay tuned here for information about upcoming workshops, as well as free guided training podcasts online!

“Funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media in the program
NEUSTART KULTUR, aid program DIS-TANZEN of the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland.” /

Guided individual practice of Interstitial Listening now available online!

We’re excited to share the first in a series of online resources for Interstitial Listening. This 90-minute guided practice offers a window into the wealth of exercises, both individual and collective, that we have developed over the years. These initial online resources have been developed through a series of virtual and live workshops with performers in Berlin and beyond during summer 2021, with support from a DisTanz Solo Grant (see details and logos below). For additional context, you can read about Interstitial Listening here.

Additional online resources, as well as announcements regarding upcoming workshops, will be posted here on our site in the coming months. Feel free to get in touch and let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Interstitial Listening in practice @ Lake Studios Berlin

Thank you to everyone who joined for an intensive Interstitial Listening (IL) workshop at Lake Studios Berlin in August 2021!

In this 3-day intensive training for dancers and movement artists of all styles, choreographer Teoma Naccarato and composer John MacCallum will guide participants in the foundations of Interstitial Listening (IL) as a somatic technique for performers. Each day will begin with an hour-long structured movement improvisation session, followed by a three-hour IL workshop. Read more about IL on our website!
