I arrived back to rainy Berlin today after a visit of our friends at
|
||
|
|
[Live Performers Meeting](http://liveperformersmeeting.net/) in sunny
|
||
|
|
Rome. Trapped in the organisation mode for our
|
||
|
|
[festival](http://festival.visualberlin.org/) I paid a lot of attention
|
||
|
|
to how the things were planned and organised there. I was happy and
|
||
|
|
relieved to see the similarities in approach, planning and improvisation
|
||
|
|
of the whole [LPM](http://liveperformersmeeting.net/) crew and the
|
||
|
|
VisualBerlin family here. Love and passion for the artform and a big
|
||
|
|
interest in community building are the main keys to make it happen. I
|
||
|
|
picked up a few tricks here and there and exchanged experiences with the
|
||
|
|
[LPM](http://liveperformersmeeting.net/) team. In comparison to the last
|
||
|
|
[Live Performers Meetings](http://liveperformersmeeting.net/) this year
|
||
|
|
it was a very straightforward and relaxed atmosphere with a very good
|
||
|
|
mix of interested and sociable artists - where I never had the
|
||
|
|
impression that too many things happened at the same time or I'd be
|
||
|
|
anxious that I'd miss something - a feeling I remembered from the years
|
||
|
|
before.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The artists and performers at [LPM](http://liveperformersmeeting.net/)
|
||
|
|
were very interested in our festival here - some will definetly also
|
||
|
|
come here while others were sad that they won't be able to attend. I put
|
||
|
|
up some posters at the [Brancaleone](http://new.brancaleone.eu/) venue
|
||
|
|
and spread flyers and once in a while caught a glimpse of curious
|
||
|
|
artists reading our line-up or discussing Berlin related issues. A few
|
||
|
|
people approached me and asked questions or simply wanted to tell me how
|
||
|
|
much they liked the eye-catching design of the promotion material (props
|
||
|
|
to fRED & E-Gruppe!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I saw amazing audiovisual performances and great VJ-Sets. My favorite
|
||
|
|
shows were definetly the epic metal duo [Throw
|
||
|
|
Up](http://www.myspace.com/throwupmetal) from France with their
|
||
|
|
hand-drawn animation and collage based visual storytelling - and of
|
||
|
|
course the jaw-drop digital hardcore show of [Lance
|
||
|
|
Blisters](http://festival.visualberlin.org/artist/lance-blisters-deus/),
|
||
|
|
who will also play at our festival!

Mille grazie to Gianluca, Ioann, Marco, Valeria, Donatella & Co.
