Developing the body's creative potential - Music and movement in group improvisation

The study presents experiments of the members of Group Improvisation at the Oldenburg University which promotes multi-disciplinary pedagogical concepts. According to these, teaching music and performing music are closely connected, as music accompanied by movement develops the human creative potential. Within the seminars organized at the Oldenburg University we experienced the way movement combines with live music as well as various digital media, the participants having the opportunity to develop personal performing concepts and to test them in teaching activities in primary school.
