2016 | Wednesdays March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, April 6, 13 &

18:00-21:00</strong></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; width: 250px;">This is a weekly meeting
for those interested in understanding how we are conditioned in
different ways. If we consider the possibility of actual
transformation, first we need to understand ourselves in
relation to this world.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; width: 250px;">We will explore our own
determination from different perspectives: linguistically,
socially, sexually, culturally, racially, economically,
historically, biologically, and more. We will also take into
account Berlin and the changes that is going through.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; width: 250px;">Launched by a group of
musicians and artists, this experimental series starts with a
critical standpoint towards current culture and music in
particular, including the avant-garde, popular and obscure: does
music contain transformative qualities? Or is it just a
soundtrack for our fucked up times? Are extreme actions,
improvisational approaches and noise enough to dismantle our
conditioned selves? Or do we need to radically reconsider the
critical potential of these practices? Can we still say no to
the unfairness of this world through cultural practices or do we
need something else altogether?<br>
<span id="more-7933"></span><br>
Each week a text will be proposed which should be read before
attending. The first part of the meeting will be discussion;
here we will collectively draw notes and create a ‘score’ to
guide us through ‘embodied exercises’ in the second part of the
meeting. We wish to learn not only discursively, but through
embodied practice, so we can experientially understand what
experience is. By collectively using ourselves -including our
bodies- as material for the exercises, we attempt to understand
our conditioning through action.</p>
