Darmstädter Ferienkurse program involves a project by Tarek Atoui, in cooperation with Fridericianum Kassel.

The Tables of Contents bring together a range of objects, techniques and instruments that are integral to the sound practice of Tarek Atoui. The workshops begin with a video conference by Tarek Atoui, followed by an hour of experimentation facilitated by Alan Affichard and Olaf Pyras. After this initial session, participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments, accessories, and objects to utilize on the second day of the workshop. The workshops will be based around four central themes, participants will be given the opportunity to experiment with a wide range of instruments and techniques.  

The workshop series will end with a performance piece. A series of improvisations realized during the exhibition Waters’ Witness at Fridericianum in May 2021 will be presented. With Alan Affichard, Tarek Atoui, Amélie Legrand and Olaf Pyras. Access to the stream will be free.

Funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
