MusikTanzNullDreißig

MusikTanzNullDreißig (MT030) is an initiative of flutist Friederike Wendorf and dancer Manuela Tessi.
It is a platform aimed at fostering the collaboration of dance and music in performance.
It consists of a performance series and practice sessions.

Friederike and Manuela met in the improvising scene of Amsterdam. Noticing the interest and potential in the local artists community of Berlin, they decided to create events, that provide a dedicated space where dance and music can mutually contaminate and inspire each other.

Next to the performance series Manuela and Friederike create a parallel event, the MT030 sessions: regular meetings (every two weeks) taking place in a dance studio without public audience. The sessions are aimed at supporting the research of dance and music improvisation. They are open to everyone who has an interest in developing the practice. In the sessions Manuela and Friederike wish to create the possibility of new meetings and the sharing of ideas, that eventually will be developed into a performance for the performance series in various Berlin venues.

The MT030 performance series started in November 2014  at "Onkel Gustav" a bar in Prenzlauerberg and is continuing in other venues in Berlin, Club der Polnischen Versager and Greenhouse Plateau Gallery a.o.
 
Dance and music are composed on the spot within set parameters. The artists will make it possible for the audience to contribute to the process of making the performance, while at the same time watching it.
With this initiative Friederike and Manuela have been curating several performances of instantly composed dance and music inviting experienced local and international dancers and musicians to perform with them.
This location are chosen on purpose to integrate and expose the performances to the nightlife of Berlin and to escape the sometimes clean and dry atmosphere of dance studios. Manuela and Friederike hope, that this way the work will be exposed to a broader audience, not only necessarily made of insiders of the dance-music scene, but as well locals, who would come to the bar to have dinner or a night out.
Recently  the MT030 performance series is connecting to its sister project in Amsterdam,  Music Dance 301 (MD301)  held  monthly in cultural centre OT301.

The evening will consist of two sets of several short pieces with different combinations of these artists playing together
