A Practice of Arrival is a mindful improvisational movement score — a multi-layered meditative conversation between sound, presence, and movement.
Ambient textures, birdsongs and field recordings from around the world intertwine with original recordings of Zen monk, environment and peace activist Thích Nhất Hạnh, creating a shifting soundscape for Lena Klink’s improvised movement.
A gentle exploration of arrival: into the body, into the present moment, and into this world — where one arrival is already unfolding within another.
This performance is for humans, plants, and all our more-than-human kin. A small gesture towards remembering that we are not separate from the Earth, but of it – and that we are always making a world together.
If you’re bringing a plant friend along for this little date night, you’re warmly invited to place them somewhere around the stage or dance floor, so they can have a great view and become part of the shared space.

Asa started making music at the age of six, first learning classical piano and guitar (despite being seen unfit by some peers due to a heredofamilial essential tremor), later specializing in music theory and composition, jazz and improvisation. As a teenager, the non-binary artist released a 5 track EP with their first solo project Hasta la otra méxico!, of which especially 'Túrána hott kurdís' attracted a lot of attention, hitting almost 1 million views on vimeo & youtube. Driven by their love for electronic music, Asa started producing and DJing as ASA 808, releasing on George FitzGerald's ManMakeMusic, Soundspace, Blank, Yarn Audio and their own TOYS imprint and playing in venues such as ://about Blank, Tresor, Ritter Butzke, Le Java (Paris), Lehmann (Stuttgart), B90 (Gdansk), Corvin Club (Budapest), Menagerie (Belfast), Gewölbe (Cologne), Karlstorbahnhof (Heidelberg), Bahnwärter Thiel (Munich) & Baalsaal (Hamburg). Pushing the boundaries of techno, house and bass elements, ASA 808 combines classical instruments with analogue synths and drum machines.

VICE / THUMP: "Rudolf is truly a man of many talents. Under his ASA 808 alias, Rudolf has honed his craft as a producer while simultaneously running some of Berlin's biggest house and techno events." Data Transmission: "One of the city’s brightest new lights is Ansgar Rudolf, better known as ASA 808 (...) 2015 saw the release of his wonderfully eerie Ignorance EP via George Fitzgerald‘s ManMakeMusic, a record that insured our spotlight was firmly fixed on ASA 808 and will continue to do so this year.“ George FitzGerald: "a very talented man, a lot to come from him I think" Local Suicide: „the future is looking pretty damn good for ASA 808“ BBC Radio 1: „Quality“Their RA profile lists ManMakeMusic, Yarn Audio and TOYS Berlin.Last at Paloma in Apr · often with Mareike Bautz, Tereza, twobeers, none of them here that night
