June 24th was the last OORSPRONG date of this season, we will resume programming starting the new season on September 16th. We had 10 beautiful and productive improvisation nights including 33 different curators and more than 120 improvisers from dance, live electronics, light design and acoustic background.
I want to thank all the curators and performers involved for their volunteering willingness to participate in this challenging improvised curators series. And it was a great surprise to have such a great, growing and mixed audience interested in this niche activity.
Also a big thank to volunteers Titia Daniels/Tolhuistuin who hosted this monthly series @ venue 'Het Poortgebouw', Stephan Kaas for designing the OORSPRONG e-flyer, Guillaume Heurtebize for setting up the website (www.oorsprong.wordpress.com), Oscar Jan Hoogland for borrowing his piano, George Hadow and Lali for their monthly practical help behind the bar and in the kitchen, Melle Hammer for his graphic contributions, Podiumpost for distributing the announcements and STEIM's Jonathan Reus and Nico Bes for their dedicated content- and facilities-support. In the new season STEIM (www.steim.nl) and OORSPRONG will intensify their mutual cooperation.
'OORSPRONG curators series/OCS' started in 2009 and is a small scale collective no/low budget project which wouldnt function in the actual setup without the above mentioned supportive volunteers.
We will continue to present curated and unprecedented improvisation lineups, stimulating and exploring artistic authenticity and risk-taking.
And we hope to welcome you.
