  "If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution are happy to invite you to attend the tryout of Nicoline van Harskamp’s Seven Scenes for the Black Box. In this performance, van Harskamp speculates on the ways in which the technology of synthetic speech is rooted in the technology of acting. The short scenes in this try-out are played by four humans and one neural network named Prosodia. 
  
  We invite audiences to attend the performance and give their feedback, supporting the artist in developing future editions of the work. You are very welcome to take part in the moderated feedback session that starts shortly after the performance." The tryout by Nicoline van Harskamp, who is our housemate within the Wilhelmina Gasthuis studio complex, coincides with the 40th anniversary of AtelierWG.
  Doors open: 19.00
  Tryout: 19.30-20.30
