Improvisation, Dance and Sound: The Fifth KON-tact Concert in Schwerin
On June 26, 2026, the courtyard of the Conservatory Schwerin will transform into an open resonance space for movement, sound, and spontaneous encounters. The artist collective ad hoc presents transFORMation, an improvised music and dance performance that arises in the moment, making the evening an intense live experience.
A Courtyard Becomes a Stage
The courtyard of the Conservatory not only offers atmosphere but also dramatic depth: corners, niches, and passages become part of the staging. This creates a musical space where acoustics, light, and body language intertwine, and every reaction on stage shapes the next moment.
Sound Meets Movement
At the center is the special orchestration of the evening. Piano, electric piano, synthesizer, drums, electronics, accordion, accordina, as well as flute, alto flute, and bass flute come together with three dancers to create a performance that oscillates between free improvisation and finely tuned synchronization. This very tension is what makes the concert experience appealing: nothing is written down, everything reacts to each other.
Schwerin Collective Work with History
Friederike Wendorf and Marie-Laure Fiaux founded ad hoc in Schwerin in 2023. The collective has since developed performances that explore spontaneous play, immediate reaction in the moment, and collective improvisation without sheet music or fixed structures. For the audience, this means a concert format that is not only heard but also seen and physically felt.
An Ensemble with Extensive Experience
For transFORMation, artists from Schwerin, Berlin, and Amsterdam come together: Marie-Laure Fiaux, Manuela Tessi, Claudia Senoner, Rieko Okuda, Johannes Richter, Friedrich Bassarak, and Friederike Wendorf. Especially the long-standing collaboration between Rieko Okuda, Manuela Tessi, and Friederike Wendorf lends the evening a special intensity and precision in free play.
Enjoyment, Evening Atmosphere, and Audience Proximity
Even before and during the event, the atmosphere remains open and inviting. The Kreislaufhelden team will accompany the evening with culinary delights. Thus, a concert evening is created that goes far beyond the classic stage framework and gradually enriches the audience’s mood.
Conclusion: A Live Evening for Curious Ears and Open Senses
The fifth KON-tact concert promises a remarkable interplay of music, dance, and space in Schwerin. Those who love improvisation as an art form or want to discover new forms of concert experiences will experience an evening full of excitement, intuition, and poetic energy. A date for all who want to see live art in the making.
