“do you have conscious or perhaps unconscious fantasies of playing mad electric guitar and screaming “f..k” into a microphone?”
-an intensive laboratory and performance experiment, guided by Pipaluk Supernova.
WORKSHOP
Pipaluk is teaching improvisation tools including creative voice, hands on electric instruments and microphones, instant composition and writing.
Dance-work based on contact improvisation and release technique, is equally integrated.
We are exploring an open yet highly intense framework, creating multidimensional spaces.
Participants are challenged and invited to move into unknown territory, physical and musical role play.
You are not expected to be able to sing or play any instrument, actually better if you don’t!
PERFORMANCE EXPERIMENT
Based on our findings in the ”Inner Rockstar” workshop , we co-create a performance installation space that also involves visitors in a direct and entertaining way.
PRACTICAL (negotiable) :
– workshop space where we can move and make NOISE
– a selection of not-precious microphones, instruments, moveable amplifiers etc
– costumes
– a space where we can build installation spaces, min last 2 days
– a designated time slot for involving an audience

Inner Rockstar 100.998 seconds
This highly unusual performance concept invites everyone to live out their secret or less secret fantasies of becoming a wild one, a star, a queen, a mad guitarist, a punk singer, a boy band hero or anything else you can dream up. It only takes a few minutes to become an acclaimed rockstar in our world.
The project is a ongoing research study, diving into any possible cliche within the iconology of “stardom”, the archetypical images of creatures engulfed in glory, our inspiration for shifting identities and daydreams
Inner Rockstar invites us to unleash the beast within, to play mad electric guitar and scream your heart out.
Playing with the elements of surprise and challenge, the INNER ROCKSTAR provokes soul searching moments when astonished audience members get to direct an entire set of show dancers, or to be the lead singer!
It doesn’t take long before it’s hard to tell who are the performers, the spectators, the musicians and the fans, as the different roles keeps transforming and interacting.
The game of INNER ROCKSTAR is incredibly entertaining, an open space inhabited by strung out characters attempting to live out every possible cliche in rock’n roll history.
The space is (possibly) equipped with various instruments and “stages”, a costume department, a bar and “hotel rooms”..
Hidden scores make the improvised performance expand into a playful open space where visitors may interact as they please.
We laugh a lot, and take on the most impossible challenge with hardly no preparation at all, an uplifting experience that change our idea of what we can and can-not do.
Earlier performance installations took place in Schwelle 7 and Ponderosa Tanzland in the Berlin area, “Inner Rockstar 100.998 seconds” invited the audience to join a 28 hour long experiment in Schwelle 7 , “Bedroom Rockstar”, was a 12 hour experiment, and in Ponderosa “Temple Rockstar”, presented an 8 hour experiment.
