Son of a Beat!

Besides his artistic experience, Thomas Dalle is a son of a beat « artistic trainer », who loves to share and pass-on his musical, invigorating, playful and profound art, to all the people out there who’re into playing, learning, and practising « music », and vocal impros with him. Any audience, any style, any instrument, any context or structure, Thomas Dalle offers tangible educational courses, adjusted and structured, as private tuition (or groups), or as day workshops, as week-long trainings or year-long programmes, leading to a possible end of year show, according to the artistic project, to the frequency of get-togethers, and to the motivation level of both the participants and/or the structure or the host organisation.

3 quotes from influencial artists which open onto artistic and philosophical stances geared to this artistic practice:

« All is suspect, except the body and its sensations ». Louis Jouvet.

« The maturity of human beings is about finding the seriousness we used to put into games, as kids ». Frédéric Nietzsche.

« Never despair, brew a bit more » Henri Michaux.
