Improvisation
is the personal and spontaneous expression of moods and emotions with the
means at one's disposal. These unprepared statements are a key to the
depths of our subconscious mind and the cosmos. Great artists say, that
art does not follow the rules but the rules follow art. After all, many
great works of art are created just for this ease of receiving information
from the depths of our being in the moment. Intellect or technique play a
secondary role.
The
composer and pianist Robert Pobitschka attempts during this workshop, to
open the participants to receive inspiration and to have the courage to
express themselves. Introductory exercises shall establish a state of
relaxation and allow the exploration of inner space. During improvisations,
participants will be asked, to allow artistic impulses and ideas to
express spontaneously. Everyone is free to make use of any form of
artistic expression: Participants can paint, write, dance, photograph,
sing or simply let images or sensations manifest in their consciousness.
For some improvisations Robert Pobitschka will try to inspire participants
with piano and organ music, other exercises take place as group work. In
subsequent discussions, the results will be discussed and their contents
will be explored. There will be discussions in how far these results
fulfil the requirements of common artistic forms. The workshop addresses
everybody who has the urge to express themselves artistically. Painters
among the participants are asked to bring their own painting materials.
Musicians shall bring their instruments.
The
venue Drosendorf with its historic townscape is one of the most
atmospheric and fabulous cities in the Austrian Waldviertel.
Participants in past seminars and workshops have been touched by
it’s incomparable magic and experienced its special "vibrations".
In the large forest area around the river Thaya walks can be taken also in
the winter months to find peace and healing.

Drosendorf
Castle - Schloßplatz 1 - A-2095 Drosendorf - Austria
Seminar
"I m p r e s s i o n i s m -
T h e a r t of e t h e r e a l m o m e n t s"
Docent/Pianist
Robert Pobitschka
The
seminar is open to everybody who loves music and the arts -
specialist knowledge is not required. During the musical
performances - piano music by Debussy and Ravel as well as improvisations
- all participants are invited to spontaneously express their ideas and
feelings through drawing, writing, painting or dancing or whatever they
choose to do. Participants are welcome to bring photographs, texts,
paintings or choreographies matching the theme as an inspiration for the
improvisations on the piano. Who does not want to do this can simply sit
and listen to the music. Pianists among the participants have the
opportunity to foster their knowledge of interpretation of Debussy’s and
Ravels’ piano music.
The
seminar includes lectures and discussions highlighting the history of
ideas of Impressionism, opening the sphere of these ideas and dealing with
the question in how far people in our modern, concrete and materialistic
times can be open to subtle and ethereal vibrations, to the "inner
tone" of things, as described by the Impressionists.

LIVE RECORDINGS OF THE ORGAN IMPROVISATIONS:
Review Niederösterreichische Nachrichten (NÖN) (in German)
"I
m p r o v i s a t i o n s"
Robert Pobitschka - Luise Galm
Organ improvisations – spontaneous, improvised painting
n
Both
artists improvise simultaneously on:
„Saint
Valentina“
„The
monastery on Skellig Michael“
„Impressions
from the river Thaya“
The programme of this evening are improvisations - artistic ideas showing up at the moment are spontaneously woven into a fabric of sounds and colour.
In
the 6th century monks from Egypt founded one of the first monasteries in
Ireland, located on Skellig Michael, a tiny, small island, two hours by
boat from the west coast, surrounded by the rough Atlantic Ocean. The
monks believed the place was already close to the end of the world,
close to the abyss. Their aim was to finish their existence on earth.
The perspective of timelessness will be one main element of the
improvisation.
The third improvisations will be dedicated to the river Thaya in Drosendorf.
