In November 2022, a four-week intensive workshop was facilitated at Worm and focused on researching experimental composition-making, on the basis of awakening a new language, structuring it and finding different ways to present it. This work is an extension of the Uuahib series. An OPEN CALL was initiated for participants interested to start working with performance art.

In week 1 a composition was created with Bintang Manira Manik and Jessye Carmi, musicians from different fields and approaches to music. The process began with interpreting 4 rows of sprouted beans (est. 10 per row) into a musical score. In the continuing three weeks, the work group changed into 7 performers from different fields of study, our aim was to collectively breathe movements into the musical composition, and furthermore, tell the story of the beans.

This process-oriented project is a continuation of earlier experiments of UUAHIB. The fabric was first performed at a public schoolyard in Rotterdam in 2021 and the form of composition-making was first tried and performed in 2020, also in UBIK Theatre. The research that disperses from UUAHIB encircles various questions surrounding collective cultural production, being: How can we make the field of performance art accessible to all? How can we shape our negotiating devices when composing language or composing communication? The continuation of these workshops will keep exploring these questions and finding different formats for presentation.
