DescriptionMind Games: The Psychology Behind a Solo Performance in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactOne of the most difficult violin concertos is Niccolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major. Known for its technical demands, it features rapid scales, double stops, harmonics, and wide leaps that push the limits of a violinist's dexterity and control. The concerto also requires expressive phrasing while navigating these complexities, blending virtuosity with musicality. Its intense demands on both technique and endurance make it a formidable challenge for even the most skilled violinists.__________________________________________________________________About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

Melati Suryodarmo, (b. 1969, Solo, Indonesia) graduated from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunscheweig, Germany under the tutelage of Marina Abramović and Anzu Furukawa with a Meisterschüler qualification in Performance Art. Her practice is informed by Butoh, dance and history, among others. Her work is the result of ongoing research in the movements of the body and its relationship to the self and the world. These are enshrined in photography, translated into choreographed dances, enacted in video or executed in live performances. Suryodarmo is interested in the psychological and physical agitations that may be from the self or the world but somehow result in lasting change the individual. This belief in change or growth through bodily action belies her early induction in meditation, which she continues to practice. The body is the home for memories and the self, rather than the individual itself, and the body's system. The way the body translates internal and external ideas enriches the attitude and thoughts of the self. Meeting Furukawa, an accomplished Butoh practitioner, had opened her eyes on the expressive qualities of the body, a form of communication that transcends verbal language. This experience has motivated her lifelong studies into Butoh and other artistic forms concerned with the human body. As a trained performance artist, presence is integral to the accomplishment of Suryodarmo's work in all mediums. The senses picks up non-verbal inputs and receive them as communication of intent, emotion, energy or identity. These non-verbal inputs open the door to sensitive and individual perception and the creation of presence. However, everyone processes these inputs differently and interpret them differently based on their unique consciousness. By compiling, extracting, conceptualising and translating some of these factors of presence that she recognises into her work, she intends to tease open the fluid border between the body and its environment. These movements are understood through the metaphor of poets, who similarly assembles words and spaces to create their poetry. Suryodarmo draws inspiration from her real experiences in the world. The path of history informs her perception of the everyday and the now. Her works often reflect the process that lead to current events, be it political, global or highly personal. In her abstracted gestures and poetical acts, the presence of each work is brought to a concentrated level of intensity. In abstracting these acts from their common context, they are made to correspond with new associations and sometimes identify radically with different meanings. The works' abstract narrative throws the spotlight on the audience's bodily response. This often results in a level of factual absurdity in the work, which is acknowledged and welcome. Suryodarmo has presented her work in various international festivals and exhibitions, including Reanacting History: Collective Actions and Everyday Gestures (2017), National Museum of Contemporary Art Korea, Gwacheon, South Korea; SUNSHOWER: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now (2017), National Art Centre Tokyo & Mori Art Museum, travelled to Fukuoka Art Museum, Japan; AFTERWORK (2016), Para Site, Hong Kong, travelled to (2017) Ilham Gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; East Asia Feminism: FANTasia (2015), Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, South Korea; 8th Asia Pacific Triennale (2015), Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland, Australia; 5th Guangzhou Triennale (2015), Guangzhou, China; The Roving Eye: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia (2014), Arter, Istanbul, Turkey; Medium at Large (2014), Singapore Art Museum, Singapore; Luminato Festival (2012), Toronto, Canada; Beyond the Self: Contemporary Portraiture from Asia (2011), National Portrait Gallery, Canberra, Australia; Marina Abramović Presents… (2009), Manchester International Festival, Manchester, U.K.; Incheon Women Artists' Biennale (2009), Incheon, South Korea; Manifesta 7 (2008), Bolzano, Italy; Wind from the East: Perspectives on Asian Contemporary Art (2007), Kiasma, Helsinki, Finland. Since 2007, Suryodarmo has been organizing an annual Performance Art Laboratory and Undisclosed Territory, a performance art festival, in Solo, Indonesia. In 2012, she founded “Studio Plesungan”, an art space for performance artists to use as a laboratory. In 2017, she served as Artistic Director for Jiwa, the 17th Jakarta Biennale. She currently lives and works between Gross Gleidingen, Germany and Solo, Indonesia.Artist StatementThe world that inspires me to move my thoughts is the world inside me. The body becomeslike a home which functions as container of memories, living organism. The systeminside the psychological body that changes all the time has enriched my idea to developnew structures of attitude and thoughts. I try to perceive my surroundings as the fact ofthe real presence of now, but considering the path of its history. I try to understand thelanguage that are not spoken, and opens the door of perceptions. I respect the freedom inour minds to perceive things coming through our individual sensory register system.Crossing the boundaries of cultural and political encounters has been a challenge thatstimulates me discovering new identification. An effort to find identity is yet a dangerousact of losing the ground of origin. For me, the process of making artwork is a life long researchthat never stops me to put myself inside the metamorphic constellation. I intend totouch the fluid border between the body and its environment through my art works. I aimto create a concentrated level of intensity without the use of narrative structures. Talkingabout politics, society or psychology makes no sense to me if the nerves are not able todigest the information. I love it when a performance reaches a level of factual absurdity.Melati Suryodarmo's performances have been dealing with the relationship between ahuman body, a culture in which it belongs to and a constellation where it lives. Through thepresence, she compiles, extracts, conceptualized and translates some phenomenon orsubjects into movement, actions, and gestures that are specified to her performance. MelatiSuryodarmo´s performances concern with cultural, social and political aspects, inwhich she articulates through her psychological and physical body. Her performances featureelements of physical presence and visual art to talk about identity, energy, politics andrelationships between the body and its environments.Melati Suryodarmo studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig, Germanyunder Marina Abramovic.Suryodarmo has presented her works in various internationalfestivals and exhibitions since 1996, including the 50th Venice Biennale 2003, Marking theterritory, IMMA Dublin. e.t.c.

Understanding the Psalms as a Sing-Along Rather than a Solo Performance.

Comedian Adam Strauss describes his use of mushrooms and other psychedelics to combat his OCD.  Adam is known for his substantively human monologue, dubbed "The Mushroom Cure",  where he shares the complex nuances of OCD and his turbulent path of psychedelic use to find mental homeostasis. This episode offers insight into the mind of obsessive compulsive disorder and how psychedelics can be an effective tool for surrendering those tendencies. Adam is an intellectual storyteller and comedian, so sit back and enjoy some grade A conversation..Adam Strauss is a comedian, writer and performer based in NYC. He won the New York Fringe Festival's Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance and the Leffe Craft Your Character Storytelling Competition. Topics CoveredMental health in comedy culture Psychedelics and psychotherapy for mental illness, particularly with psilocybin and OCDAdam describes what it's like to have OCDThe backstory of The Mushroom Cure monologueCoping mechanisms for OCD in the past, present and futureShow notesThe Mushroom Cure website: https://www.themushroomcure.com/Adam Strauss' IG: https://www.instagram.com/atomstraussAdam Strauss' Website: http://adamstrauss.com/who-is-adam/Articles mentioned:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1G6tSBLiHmiBBPjl0mNvz23033vQf506b?usp=sharing

Astrid Leutwyler ist eine inspirierende, vielseitige Geigerin mit Master-Abschlüssen in Performance und Solo-Performance in Deutschland, London und Zürich. Ihre Karriere begann bereits jugendlichen Jahren als stellvertretende Konzertmeisterin und Stimmführerin im Gustav Mahler Jugendorchesters. Sie spielte dann unter Claudio Abbado als erste Geigerin im Orchestra Mozart und ist bis heute regelmässig teil des Lucerne Festival Orchestras, des Tonhallen Orchesters Zürich, des Zürcher Kammerorchester und des Bayrischen Rundfunkorchesters München.Was diese Bilderbuch-Karriere vermuten lässt sind unzählige Stunden des Übens alleine und Orchesterproben; dies seit frühester Kindheit. Dem ist auch so. Doch was den meisten verborgen bleibt ist, dass die Violinistin Astrid Leutwyler neben der ohnehin schon prall gefüllten Agenda auch noch ein Orchester gründete, mit ihrer Schwester ein Klassikfestival auf die Beine stellte und zu Corona-Zeiten im Livestream Künstler und Publikum zusammenführte.astridleutwyler.chMusicStage.chorchestraofeurope.comklassikfestival.chhautnah.media

Photo by Ellise Lesser Spring 2018, Shawn created a two-part performance, beginning at the Soil Symposium hosted by the University of California at Santa Cruz, and ending at the Follow the Flush Wastewater Walk in Santa Cruz produced by Fictilis. During The Sum of My Soil Part 1: Realization of the Grotesque Body, Shawn baked his own body weight in mud cakes, and led participants in contemplation of the body's form and impermanence (traditional Paṭikkūlamanasikāra meditation). In The Sum of My Soil Part 2: Earth Witness, Shawn retold the story of Siddartha Gautama becoming the enlightened Buddha by naming the earth as his witness, and thus claiming his right to enlightenment. Visitors were reminded that they, too, are worthy of the space allotted them, and each person was gifted a mud cake. Sprinkled with native seeds, audiences were invited to plant the cakes or allow them to dissolve in a final gesture of embodied impermanence. Photo by Timothy Furstnau.

Catalin Rotaru has just released a new album titled The Lord of The Basses.  This album features Catalin performing on Bottesini's famous 300-year-old Testore bass.  Catalin has also released another project this fall titled Sonic Bridges Vol. 2. About Catalin Rotaru: Catalin Rotaru was born in Moldova, a province in the far northeast of Romania, in the same region where Romania's most celebrated composer, George Enescu was born. Leaving home at the age of 11 and settling in the city of Botosani, he began his musical studies directly with the double bass. After only one year he transferred to one of the leading music schools in Bucharest, the G. Enescu Arts Lyceum. Upon his graduation he was admitted to the Conservatory, a great accomplishment, since at the time, only one bass player was admitted each year. As part of the admission process, he had to pass 5 exams: 3 instrumental - recital, technical proficiency, sight-reading and 2 theoretical - dictation, pure theory and solfeggio. His most influential teacher there was Ion Cheptea, a direct disciple of Joseph Prunner, an eminent bassist and visionary from Austria, who moved to Bucharest at the beginning of the 20th century and established at the conservatory one of the most distinguished schools of double bass. Immediately upon graduation, he was offered a position with the Sibiu State Philharmonic, a major orchestra in Transylvania. Three years later he became associate principal with the Romanian National Radio Symphony in Bucharest. While still in Romania Catalin served as principal with the Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra of Bucharest and Orchestra Sinfonica Europea, with which he toured extensively throughout Europe. In 1995 he emigrated to the U.S. after being offered a teaching assistantship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he also obtained a Master's Degree in music performance. He has also served as Associate Professor of Double Bass and Jazz Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and taught at Millikin University in Decatur Illinois before joining the faculty of the School of Music at Arizona State University, in 2005. Since his arrival in the U.S. Catalin has been the recipient of many prestigious awards. He received the second prize at the 1997 International Society of Bassists Solo Division Competition and the Jury's Special Award for the best performance of the required piece at that competition. He was the winner of the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts Debut Recital Award in 1997, the Central Illinois Chapter of the National Society of Arts and Letters Award in 1996 and in 2013, was honored with the Recognition award for Solo Performance by the International Society of Bassists, which, being an award from his peers, is one of the highest forms of recognition that a solo double bassist can receive. Catalin is one of the most in-demand International soloists of the day. His 2013 schedule alone included multiple appearances as soloist with various orchestras, performing recitals or conducting master classes at prestigious conservatories in Brazil, Japan, China, The Netherlands, Russia, Romania, Italy, Ecuador and Paraguay as well as the U.S. He also found time to perform the premieres of two new works for the bass: Andres Martin's Double Bass Concerto and Frank Proto's Sonata No. 2 for Double Bass and Piano, and serve as a juror at many of the world's most prestigious solo bass competitions. His debut solo CD, Bass*ic Cello Notes was released by Summit Records in March 2007 and in 2010 released his second CD entitled Juliana D'Agostini + Catalin Rotaru which was recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 2012 Catalin recorded his third CD, in collaboration with the National Symphony Orchestra of Paraguay, which includes the world premiere of a double bass performance of Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 5.
