This workshop aims to provide a laboratory for people who wish to develop their live performances. This first edition is hosted by Satu and M, two artists who wonder “how can I translate my music to a live setting?” Maybe you have a similar question and want to experiment about it within a structured timeline and with peer support? 

Bring your own projects and questions to this teacherless-course! Each session participants will present works in progress and have the opportunity to give and receive feedback. The finale will be a “real” performance (open to the public).
