A participative winter holiday project
What makes a city? The people, the buildings, the weather, the animals ...? How do we relate to each other? How do we express our feelings and thoughts about them? And how do we give a voice to all the elements that have no voice, like buildings, plants? Wanderlust" gives you the opportunity to rediscover Berlin's urban spaces and ecosystems and to set your sights on the city of Berlin.
The project consists of intensive workshops and rehearsals where the participants make music together with the professionals, write lyrics and music, shoot videos - all with the aim of developing a new kind of concert based on their thoughts, feelings and ideas. The winter holidays are used for a fortnight of intensive rehearsals to develop a concert from the material, which is then presented to the audience.
The composers Evelyn Saylor and Felicity Mangan will work together with the authors Elisa Aseva and Kuku Schrapnell, the architecture collective Constructlab (Licia Soldavini, Mascha Fehse) and the young participants to create the concert. The young people will be given artistic tips to express their perspectives and ideas about their life in the city and their relationship to all elements and aspects of the city of Berlin.
We are looking for young people aged 13 and over who want to make music, write lyrics and contribute their ideas. It doesn't matter if you have a lot of previous experience or want to try yourself out on stage for the first time. Everything you bring with you, you can also bring in. The only condition is that you reliably attend rehearsals.
