grapeshade was conceived in 2009 in Berlin, it is a formation dedicated to expanding the relationship between music/sound, dance/movement improvisation and real time composition in site-specific settings. The group searches the balance between all those elements where nether the music nor the dance takes the lead role eliminating the usual tendency of one becoming an accompaniment. Grapeshade focuses on wide range of tasks that shape each performance – response/repetition, reaction/ignorance towards individual impulse, minimalism/reduction, fragmentation, symbiosis, interruption, disturbance, and various other ways of transforming the present momentum into an alternative artistic form.
