Centre Civic Convent Sant Agusti

Noble Room Punctuality is requested
Free activity
CONFLUENCES is a space for free drawing, and that in the Improvisation Cycle where the body, visual language and sound meet, and that in each edition has the musical accompaniment of a different artist.
During the session, we will explore the stroke from a somatic perspective, and open paths and multidisciplinary dialogues; on this occasion, we will have mirrors as living matter for the drawing.
Facilitated by Valentina Gaia Lops, CONFLUÈNCIES is an intergenerational and sensitive space, open to everyone.
Punctuality is requested

Confluences #1 – with Amidea Clotet
Saturday, September 27, at 5 p.m
Amidea Clotet (Málaga, 1997) is one of the emerging figures of the generative improvisation scene in Barcelona. He studied electric guitar at the Liceu conservatory, as well as a year of contemporary composition in Denmark. He creates spontaneous soundscapes using extended techniques and objects, raw music that emerges as a response to the times we live in; a dual game between a risky sound experimentation opposed to the beauty of the subtle.
Confluences #2 – with Sonia Sanchez
Saturday, October 25, at 5 p.m
Dancer from flamenco, free improvisation and Japanese dance body weather. He leans through the labs of improvised sound through the body. The foundations of his works are found in the flamenco roots of sound in space, the sounding body in motion and danced space.
Confluences #3 – with Anna Subirana
Saturday 29 November, at 5pm
Curiosity, research with music, voice and new languages leads her to share creations with singers (Stupendams), musicians (Joan Saura), poets (Mari Chordà, Muntsa Castellà), theatre, dancers, shadow artists, plastic artists, cinema and
audio-visuals (Aurora Gasull), creating multidisciplinary and eclectic shows.
Currently, his work focuses on free improvisation. She is part of the Veus Lliures collective, a choir of female improvising singers. He works with electronics with Elmer, Jose Manuel Berenguer. They form a duo with Agnès Balfegó, dance and voice. And he works with words and free improvisation with the musicians: Eduard Altaba, Ramon Solé and Rafa Zaragoza.
Confluences #4 – with Pers0f
