Experimental Jam - Fat Cat's Black Box

In the organizer's words:

A Performative Jam Session crossing Movement, Sound and Visual Arts

The Experimental Jam project is a series of research sessions on Interdisciplinary

Collaborative Improvisational Performance Practices.

For 3 hours, a performance is created in the moment by artists that haven't worked

together on it beforehand. The session starts with the collective set up of the equipment

and materials that will be used, followed by an introduction to proposals and agreements

for non-stop collective improvisation. The registrations are open to professional and

non-professional artists from performance-based backgrounds such as music, dance and

visual arts. Each artist must bring their own equipment.

The public is welcome to watch and can enter and leave the space at any time.

Timetable:

18:00 | Equipment Set-Up

18:30 | Intro to Proposals and Scores

19:00 | Performance Open to Public

22:00 | Finding an End

Please register if you want to participate: experimental.jam.munich@gmail.com

No registration needed for the audience.

Curator

Salomé Rodrigues is a multidisciplinary performer, choreographer and curator born in Porto in 1996, based in Munich since 2024.

Porto in 1996, based in Munich since 2024. She works with dance, theater, voice and

performance art and has been working between Portugal and Germany, creating and

performing in collaboration with different choreographers and visual artists, in a variety of

settings such as theaters, galleries, public space and open air festivals.

In 2024 she founded Experimental Munich, a platform focused on interdisciplinary

improvisational collaborative performance, curating events that provoke the crossing of

dance, sound and visual arts. In 2025 she became a member of the Turtle Magazine

Collective, curating and creating works that cross literature with performance.

Salomé tends to enjoy creating performances in intimate settings, that include interaction

with the public and strong performative states, taking the audience on a journey and

going through an experience rather than just having it playing the role of the spectator.

Being in community and working in a collaborative environment are her main interests

and are fundamental for her inspiration and practice.

Facilitators

Hermes Corp (a.k.a. Fotis Tsiroukis) is an interdisciplinary nomad and explorer of the

cultural forefront. Life led Hermes to cross between heterogenous worlds; from local

scenes, to working in decentralized organizations. Early on, Hermes explored the modality

of sound; music performance, composition, digital generation and auditory research, while

more recently, Hermes has turned to textual media. This includes digital poetry,

speculative fiction and a Doctoral Dissertation in Philosophy of Science and Technology.

Nowadays, Hermes mixes cross-form performance, improvisation and collective

emergence, aiming at the transfiguration of experience.

Charlotte Kahler (1989) is a choreographer, dancer, dance therapist, and abstract painter.

Born in Munich and raised between Germany and the USA, she is interested in

cross-cultural contact and interdisciplinary exchange between artists. Her work in dance

therapy has shifted her aesthetics to favor authentic expression and practicingacceptance. A recurring theme throughout all her works is the subject of "space" as an

integral part of the art making process. A lifelong student, she is currently training Kung Fu

Fu and expanding her spiritual practice further through Tai Chi and intuitive moving

meditations.
