Nuci rzeczka

an inter­gen­er­a­tional per­for­ma­tive con­cert for chil­dren aged 3–7 and the adults close to them

Immersed in the sounds of com­posers such as Graży­na Bacewicz, Philip Glass and Hen­ry Manci­ni, we will search for our own breath, dive into the recess­es of our imag­i­na­tion, and — car­ried along on waves of music — allow our bod­ies, both the tiny ones and the large ones, to drift gently.

The human body is made up of rough­ly 70% water, and a new­born’s body even 80%. We will lis­ten to those rivers inside us, let them rush and splash and pour this way and that… Who knows, per­haps along the way we will encounter oth­er rivers and streams, and in the end we will try to flow in one cur­rent togeth­er? We will be guid­ed by chore­o­g­ra­ph­er and dancer Alek­san­dra Bożek-Muszyńska.

“Nuci rzecz­ka” is a per­for­ma­tive event com­bin­ing live music and move­ment. Togeth­er with the artists, par­tic­i­pants will stim­u­late their sens­es, bod­ies and imag­i­na­tions. We invite you to come in clothes that allow free move­ment. Splash!

Pre­miere: 25.03.2023

Before and after the con­certs, par­ents and car­ers with chil­dren are invit­ed to enjoy treats at our café. The café is open from 9:00 to 14:00.

Alek­san­dra Bożek-Muszyńs­ka | www​.olabo​mu​.com | www​.holo​biont​.pl — Impro­vis­er, chore­o­g­ra­ph­er, per­former. She is the cre­ator of more than a dozen orig­i­nal chore­o­gra­phies, and her work has been pre­sent­ed in, among oth­er places, Berlin, Budapest, Philadel­phia, New York, War­saw and Vien­na. In 2017, togeth­er with Han­na Byl­ka-Kanec­ka, she found­ed the Holo­biont col­lec­tive, whose aim is inter­dis­ci­pli­nary, multi­gen­er­a­tional projects. One of her most recent chore­o­gra­phies, “Goździk w pustej mus­zli,” was recog­nised in the Best Dance Pro­duc­tion of the 2021/22 sea­son cat­e­go­ry by the month­ly Teatr. In 2022 she cre­at­ed chore­og­ra­phy for the pro­duc­tion “Rodz­i­na,” a co-pro­duc­tion of TR and Teatr 21. In her work she explores the bound­aries between sim­plic­i­ty and naivety, pre­sen­ta­tion and facil­i­ta­tion, and find­ing pat­terns and break­ing them. The visu­al dimen­sion and a dis­tinc­tive sense of humour are char­ac­ter­is­tic of her work. Her body responds very well when it is allowed to do what it enjoys.

About the series

ĄsąBąble are per­for­ma­tive con­certs fea­tur­ing new music for fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 0–7. Each is built around an orig­i­nal script in which lis­ten­ing to music, inter­ac­tive play and edu­ca­tion­al val­ue are equal­ly impor­tant. In a space that is wel­com­ing to the very young, one can lis­ten to music by lead­ing con­tem­po­rary com­posers in ver­sions and pro­por­tions cal­i­brat­ed for small ears. The the­atri­cal for­mat of the con­certs pro­motes con­cen­tra­tion and allows the sounds to cast their spell, while the invi­ta­tion to join in shared impro­vi­sa­tions releas­es the nat­ur­al expres­sive impulse of young peo­ple. In the spir­it of Janusz Kor­cza­k’s words “There are no chil­dren, only peo­ple,” all par­tic­i­pants are treat­ed with respect and have a stake in how the event unfolds. The series presents exclu­sive­ly music of the 20th and 21st cen­turies. A per­ma­nent ele­ment is the pre­sen­ta­tion of a record­ing of a sym­phon­ic work or a work from the field of sound design and electronics.

Although each edi­tion of ĄsąBąble takes a musi­cal fab­ric as its start­ing point, it is also rich in non-musi­cal con­texts close to Hash­tag Ensem­ble’s prac­tice: lit­er­ary, visu­al, social. The events are inter­dis­ci­pli­nary in char­ac­ter: invit­ed artists who have long worked in close prox­im­i­ty to chil­dren’s imag­i­na­tion also take part — dancers, per­form­ers, illus­tra­tors and writ­ers. The­atre is the nat­ur­al ter­rain of new music, which is why actor train­ing for musi­cians is also part of the edu­ca­tion­al char­ac­ter of the ĄsąBąble series.

The cura­tor and host of the series is Anna Sza­w­iel — an actor and nar­ra­tor who spe­cialis­es in inter­dis­ci­pli­nary cul­tur­al and edu­ca­tion­al events. She likes to work on bor­ders: between con­cert and per­for­mance, edu­ca­tion and play, phys­i­cal­i­ty and abstrac­tion, always in con­nec­tion with chil­dren’s imag­i­na­tion. The con­cert pro­grammes are co-cre­at­ed by the musi­cians of Hash­tag Ensemble.

The ĄsąBąble project cre­ative­ly devel­ops the con­cept of the “Smykow­iz­je” series of the “Muzy­ka jest dla wszys­t­kich” foun­da­tion, with­in which in 2016–2022 Hash­tag Ensem­ble and Anna Sza­w­iel per­formed togeth­er more than 130 con­certs and mini-per­for­mances, search­ing for the most inter­est­ing forms of pre­sent­ing new music. The con­cept and cura­tor­ship of Smykow­iz­je was the work of Anna Kierkosz. It was the first series of events in Poland addressed to the very youngest, in which con­tem­po­rary music played the lead role.

The Con­tem­po­rary Music Space Hash­tag Lab is co-financed by the Cap­i­tal City of Warsaw.
