Spring is in the air.. along with a (slow) wind of change. Get your dancing shoes on!

Playworks is.. a monthly podcast based on the idea that "playwork is the work of creating and maintaining spaces for children to play. The theory and practice of playwork recognises that children's play should ideally be "freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated." (wiki)

Jackie O. Bar Berlin 127: Time for Tea (Gone But Not Forgotten)

Do you have the discipline to be a free spirit?

With this mixes you have to opportunity for a daily movement practice, to silent your mind and tune in with your natural frequencies.

Transcend through the 5Rhythms
. Flowing .. Staccato .: Chaos :. Lyrical .. Stillness

Each rhythm is interpreted by individuals in a uniquely personal way, opening them to a new sense of freedom and possibility that is both surprising and healing, exhilarating as well as deeply restorative. It is, in essence, “exercise for the right brain.”

When we practice 5Rhythms, we learn to creatively express aggressiveness and vulnerability, emotions and anxieties, edges and ecstasies. It reconnects us to cycles of birth & death and hooks us into humanity and the spirit of all living things. 

5Rhythms transcends dance. The movement is the medicine, the meditation and the metaphor. Through movement we peel back layers, lay masks down, and dance till we disappear…Only to rediscover ourselves through it all.

PROGRAM NOTE
For many years, my wife Victoria and her FAB5 quintet (string quartet and percussion), have entertained thousands of people at numerous performance spaces and travel hubs in New York City, including Moynihan Train Hall, Oculus World Trade Center, Javits Center, and Chelsea Market. Having seen many of their shows, especially those at travel hubs, there's a certain tension and release you experience watching people wait anxiously for their trains, and then the release they feel when they are finally on their way. I've had these experiences myself, so I wanted to create two pieces that emulate these feelings.

Wound Up/Unwind consists of two contrasting pieces for string quartet and percussion. The first, Wound Up, for string quartet and cajón, imitates the feeling of being worried, anxious, and frustrated, especially while waiting to board a train. The second, Unwind, for string quartet and handpan, is calm and soothing, perhaps emulating the satisfying feeling of relaxing in a quiet seat as the train leaves the station. Both pieces can be performed independently and in any order.

Wound Up/Unwind is written for and commissioned by the FAB5 quintet with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

ØCTUPØNE (Frank Rübcke) 

The man, the myth, and his musical moods A true connaisseur and a timeless collector of grooves with an eclectic and encyclopedic (maybe even biblical) knowledge, the DJ known as Octupone has been creating his melting pot of sounds and textures with his emotionally charged sets for over three decades. Drawing on everything from deep and soulful house through R&B to Disco. 

Eclectic melting pot of sounds and textures drawing on everything from deep and soulful house through to african and oriental. Folktronica. Minimal Cumbia. Andean Step. Tropical Bass. Global Spirit. Keta-Pop. Bummeltechno. Basso Nova. Macarena Dub. Slowhouse (aka "Slouse"). Slothdisco (!). Uplifting Downtempo. Spiritual House. Chill Rave. Aya Tech. Dessert House. Indie Sun. Acoustic Funk.

Octupone has spun his web of wicked tunes all over the world and then some: from the Soulkitchen or the Golden Pudel Club in his original hometown of Hamburg to the Bar Tausend, Jackie O or at the Party for the ECHO (Germany’s Grammys) in Berlin, from Rio de Janeiro via Tulum or Paris on to Mykonos or Hong Kong. Currently residing as DJ and Music Consultant and Supervisor at La Granja IBIZA, he rarely repeats and never ceases to amaze.
