Three Times Three #7
The monthly performances “Three Times Three” bring together artists from the fields of contemporary dance and experimental music, with the aim of creating a common code of communication, valid for the duration of the meeting.
Three musicians meet three dancers at a time. At the beginning of the evening, three pairs are randomly decided and improvise for 15 minutes. The evening ends with a 30-minute collective improvisation.
“Three Times Three” is curated by the composer Spyros Polychronopoulos (Spyweirdos).
