What should a passionate artist do this June? Plan a 3 week adventure into the heart of America of course! Check out why…
(Jamming session).
The energy is extraordinary!
You’re missing all the fun.
I know… I’ve been sick.
But not today, the day is gorgeous! Take my bike. Wear my helmet.
Mushroom shaped head?
Wrapped tightly around your face.
(Pedaling session).
Back to the academy. Warm-up session starts. Circled round, counting up, clap, point, move.
Brazilian massage??
Stomp, repeat.
Stomp, clap, shout. IMPROVISE.
We’re writing a song.
We are what?
You’ll see.
Stop the games, now we play.
A M A Z E D !


It’s my blog, and I pixelate myself if I want to.
Media workshop: how to make the best MiMa minute videos.
First things first… they love to improvise! And through that they turn what seems to be simple games into music.
But how, how, how? It has taken me a long time to completely understand what makes MiMa’s teaching method so special. I had to take a plane and visit their academy in Brooklyn to experiment it first hand.
Here’s what they have to say about themselves: MIMA Envoys travel around the world and use music improvisation and media to engage and enrich communities. MIMA started in 2000 at Princeton University and has grown into an international network of envoys, teachers and musicians in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Cyprus, El Salvador, Greece, and the USA.

Was it still today or was it already tomorrow when we arrived?
We landed tonight, but got there tomorrow… I think so. It’s confusing, I know.
But where, where, where are we going to sleep? (the mattress starts deflating…).
Is the futton safe?
I’ll just use the mat, but place it on top of the sacrificing table.
The what?
I’ll just cuddle into this blue sofa.
Ok, but you won’t be able to move around.
Cookies and oranges before bed.
What bed..?
3 trips to the hall where the half bathroom is…
But it was so cold, how on earth did you manage? And, is that window missing a glass?
Why did you wake up on the floor?
I needed more space to expand.
Clothing flying around, coffee from a machine that doesn’t work, cookies for breakfast?
It’s already time for lunch.
Hurry, hurry, wrap those wounded feet and skip-a-dip-dip to the subway station now.
We wanted pasta at a place where they cook with Asian spices.
Ice-cream comes in a box.
Bathroom lights so red.
Tea before food, food after tea.
Chao chao, it’s time to move now.
