A residency for creating sound with hands and heart. For 7 participants for 4 days among trees and silence. Creating musical instruments from found objects. The program included playing on made instruments and synthesizers, morning yoga and meditation, physical practices for awareness of yourself, others and the space around among nature and slowness.

Workshop on creating experimental musical instruments with Manukians Studio. At this laboratory, each and every one was asked to develop their own tool in the form of a certain box (of any size and material), the filling of which was a unique continuation of the author. 

Through certain practices of inclusion in the creative mode, the focus was directed to finding one's sound. This was an experimental workshop for participants with any experience, where was important to try, explore, share, fantasize.

The main idea of this workshop was to focus on listening and sensory perception to allow participants to express themselves freely and explore the world of sound in a contemplative and playful way in a label-free space for joint experimentation. 

This practice was intended to promote the appropriate attitude for extending receptivity to the entire space/time continuum of sound. 

Workshop activities included exercises for enhancing bodily senses, working with emotional states, singing, rhythmic exercises, improvisation with both acoustic and electronic instruments, synchronisation exercises, unleashing creative fantasies, exploring imagery, and tapping into streams of consciousness.

A multimedia performative project of music and theater. This project exploring human perception, interacting with vision, sound, and the physical body.  Project brings together people driven by a shared belief in the transformative power of art and a passion for creative exploration. Their journey began in 2022 at Dahk School.

FREEBUTTREE was a Kyiv-based experimental ensemble combining free improvisation, jazz tradition, and collective composition. Consisting of ten musicians with diverse instruments and individual styles, the group functioned as a single organism, creating multi-layered sonic landscapes in real time. The project explored the possibilities of collective interaction without prior agreements, where timbre, dynamics, and spatial perception became the core compositional elements.

Founded in 2021, the ensemble performed on Kyiv’s improvisation scene and presented works including a broadcast for Kunstradio (Austria). FREEBUTTREEserved as a platform for crossing musical and performative practices, opening space for risk, experimentation, and mutual sensitivity among participants. The project concluded its active phase in February 2022.
