DOOM MOOD
DOOM MOOD has been instigated in 2020 by Maud Buckenmeyer & Dorota Michalak - dancers & choreographers who met at HZT in Berlin during their studies. They have bonded around a practice focused on the power, physicality and relationscapes of voice, tangibility and spatiality of sound and improvisation as a space of welcoming ghosts and guests across material, elemental, mythical and cultural spheres.
In 2023, DOOM MOOD extended it’s form, becoming a porous collective bringing together artists and researchers from rural and urban areas, working across traditional and experimental music and dance.
DOOM MOOD organizes residencies, workshops, performative formats, discussions, and community events, often in collaboration with local partners across institutional and bottom-up contexts. We host spaces of collective learning, release and emotional expression, bringing together people of different backgrounds and generations around dance and music practices.
Our ongoing aim is to support intercultural exchange between peripheral regions, building bridges between artists, researchers, elders, and communities whose knowledge and practices are at risk of disappearing.
We are inspired by cosmologic visions in which “our eyes are ears” (following i.a. Emanuele Coccia’s “metaphysics of mixture” thought through in collaboration with plants), implying the shift of attention from objects and boundaries to fluxes and interdependency, from vision to listening - across somatic, social and political realms.
