Global Spring: Rhythm signs improvisation performance 

Discover a fresh approach to improvisation and music composition centered around rhythm and sound. This workshop introduces participants to a novel system of rhythmic signs that seamlessly translate into dynamic rhythms, captivating sounds, and creative variations. Step into a realm of music-making where rhythm is the language, communicated through intuitive signs and brought to life by performers through interpretation. 

Central to this collaborative experience is the real-time co-composition, where performers actively engage in choosing their instruments and shaping the musical landscape together. Join us as we delve into the art of rhythmic communication and collective creation, exploring new possibilities for musical expression and collaboration.
