Fifth KON-Takte - Event 2024 at the Schwerin Conservatory

Together with Manuela Tessi and drummer Johannes Richter, who also provides the electronics, they use the many different niches of the inner courtyard as small stages and bathe them in atmospheric light. There are no guidelines or rules during the performance. Music and movement arise from the moment. The two artistic genres manage without words and stimulate the imagination in a very special way through the constantly changing interplay between the performers.

"We work with the musicality of movement and with movement in music," says Friederike Wendorf. "These phenomena interest me very much and have always belonged together for me. That's why I improvise with dancers, because for me music is always movement too." Anyone who thinks improvisation is easy will have to disagree with Marie-Laure Fiaux: "You need the vocabulary. If you don't have the know-how, you can't improvise." Friederike Wendorf and Marie-Laure Fiaux, who founded the artist collective ad hoc 2022 in Schwerin, improvise their performances, appearing as a duo as well as in larger, changing line-ups. With ad hoc, they want to present their art: playing together, spontaneous mutual inspiration, being in the moment without notes or instructions. "An orchestra with sheet music is the exact opposite," says Friederike Wendorf.

Look forward to an extraordinary evening in the cozy courtyard of the Schwerin Conservatory!
