Karel Tuytschaever who has LAB as a starting point for his doctoral research gave this ‘wellness’ workshop together with Magda Thielemans in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.

This workshop taught a short LAB warm-up routine that one can do before a concert.

In these master classes, the method was offered tailored to the musicians during a busy rehearsal period.

Workshop with participants of the Easter and Summer internships. In this short warm-up workshop, young musicians are introduced to LAB. One learns that the body is the ‘first’ instrument and that attention and care for it are the basis for a lasting career. The initially timid candidates gradually became enthusiastic and curious. Possibly a seed of physical artistic awareness was planted here.

This Masterclass fitted within the theme “Consciousness,” a lecture series of University of Antwerp, offered to bachelors, masters, UA teachers and externs. It proved a unique opportunity to explore whether, and if so, what opportunities LAB offers for non-arts students. It also gave us insight that the artistic within LAB was strongly connected to the here and now, to the physical presence of the other.

Assessing the need and possible form of a knowledge circle. In addition to the archiving and sharing student-level exercises, this master class revealed the need to provide pedagogical didactic instruction as well.
