A key question is how performative elements such as costume, movement and sound can become not merely aesthetic devices, but increasingly aesthetic-functional technologies designed to make music accessible to a deaf audience. An important part of the process is breaking down barriers through dialogue with people who bring under-represented perspectives to the table. New knowledge is not only developed by individual team members but shared with the entire ensemble. Only in this way can a shared awareness and sensitivity to the social and political dimensions of music be fostered. The focus is on dialogue with the deaf musician and performer Matthias Ranner, with a view to further developing the concert performance \u201cDreamteam\u201d. The aim is to integrate Matthias Ranner\u2019s working methods into the performance and to implement measures within the music that break down barriers from the perspective of deaf people.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Funded by the Diversity Fund of the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Sharing&#8221; module_id=&#8221;raum&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Sharing<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Thursday 13 August at 6 pm at the Un-Label Studio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;\u00dcber das Ensemle&#8221; module_id=&#8221;raum&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>About the Ensemble<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/un-label.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-uBu.avif&#8221; alt=&#8221;Eight people are looking straight at the camera with neutral expressions; their upper bodies are barely visible against a black background.&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Photo uBu&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/ensembleubu.com\/about\/\" href=\"https:\/\/ensembleubu.com\/about\/\">uBu<\/a>, an ensemble for new concert performances, explores music as a physical and social experience.

The first instalment, \u2018Minimal Dominion\u2019 (featuring composer Ui-Kyung Lee and choreographer Na\u00efma Mazic), built on research that had previously resulted in a 360\u00b0 music video series filmed within the Cologne Philharmonie in 2021.
