While we are preparing for the end presentation, let's not forget that we had a great evening with lectures from Ieke Trinks and Moe Satt and performances from Maung Day, Ma Ei, Moe Satt and Mratt Lunn Htwann.

Here is some footage of the performances that where made on october 18th:

Works in progress!

The artists are working on the pieces they will show in the end presentation on october 27th. Here are some images of the processes that have been going on in the last couple of days.

Ma Ei from Myanmar invited artists and organizers for a group portrait last saturday. She will now alter the images to turn them into a family portrait:

Jérôme Porsperger from Belgium took long rides on his bicycle, shooting footage of the nature and water surrounding Nijmegen and had some special meetings while doing this. He also conducted his invisible orchestra on the roof of Extrapool:

Day 3: workshop by Moritz Ebinger

Day 3:

Moritz Ebinger, artist, joins Deelstaat=.
He gives a workshop in the Kronenburger Park in Nijmegen.

The workshop consist of the following parts:
     a. Moritz asks the artists to respond to a song he wrote.
     b. The workshop is to be held outside in the park.

 In the park Moritz starts with drawing on leaves, that he pickes up from the ground. He gives each  artist a leaf. The artists make drawings on the leaves and add things, like wire and actions.

                                                                            Ma Ei

 

Ieke Trinks

After listening to the song Moritz wrote, everyone is invited to play - make sound - on the trombone.

                                                                        Ieke Trinks

                                                                          

A passerby is also invited to join and play on the trombone. He plays the 'Stars from Heaven'. However, he was too shy to come and play a live performance in Extrapool on friday, 18th october: The Myanmar Performance Night.

Moritz tells the story about how he got the trombone from a friend.

The sounds made in the park with the trombone will be used for a grammaphone record by Moritz for the 'Golden Project', on which he is currently working. Two participants of the Deelstaat - Hinde Chaatouf en Maung Day - are invited and now busy making poems for this project.   

Day 2

Today Moe Satt gave performance workshops to the Deelstaat= participant.
He gave them three assignments:
1. re-perform a performance you were influenced by from your own country
2. use the stairs in a performance
3. show your own signature style in your performance  

The performances had to be short.
After the workshop we had a discussion. More about this later !
