Three Times Three #4

The monthly event “Three Times Three” brings together artists from the fields of contemporary dance and experimental music, with the aim of creating a common code of communication that remains in effect for the duration of the meeting.

Three musicians meet three dancers each time. At the beginning of the evening, three random pairs are formed by drawing lots, and they improvise for 15 minutes. The evening closes with a 30-minute collective improvisation.

“Three Times Three” is curated by composer Spyros Polychronopoulos (Spyweirdos).
