GrooveLab - the body as an instrument
A workshop on body percussion & dance

with the duo GLÄNZ
Dagmar Ottmann & Christian Herrmann

This workshop explores the connection between movement and sound and invites participants to experience their own body as a musical-rhythmic instrument at the interface of body percussion, beatbox and contemporary dance.

After a body-oriented warm-up, various body sounds and rhythmic principles are gradually introduced. Through short, guided phrases, improvisational sequences and body percussion circles, participants are given practical tools to feel and consciously shape groove, timing and musical structure. This creates a direct understanding of the body as a source of sound and of the interplay between individual and collective rhythmic experience.

Open to all levels of experience, the workshop focuses on musical and physical perception, artistic joy of playing and collective experience.
