Tonight premiere of the new creation by Cooperativa Maura Morales for ITZ-Intranzyt Cia at the Casa das Artes de Vila Nova de Famalicão. A few final adjustments to the final mix of my composition for this amazing choreography by Maura Morales Yudesbiet.
As part of the “tanzNRW23” festival, the Cooperativa Maura Morales will present their current piece “EpicDermis” with the music of Michio on May 13th at Viersen festival hall and on May 14th at Pumpenhaus Münster
As a composer and music producer for contemporary dance and
ballet, you spend a lot of time on the road, outside your own music studio, and
have to compose, arrange, record, mix and change music in every conceivable
place in a very short space of time! Like in a hotel room, for example.
Here is a brief insight into the creation process of my
composition for the contemporary dance piece “Being a Body, having a body
– thematic touch” by Maura Morales for the Portuguese dance company
“Intanzyt” in Famalicao/Portugal from May 2023
“Be fast, be flexible!” – My credo, if anyone
should ask me what the most important skills in my profession are!
It has been my pleasure to compose the music for LORCA, the new ballet production at the Osnabrück Theatre under Marguerite Donlon. Today is Mix Down day in the beautiful sounding theatre hall of the Osanbrück Stadttheater
The double PREMIERE weekend has begun! Tonight at Stadttheater Gießen “My body…” by Maura Morales and tomorrow at Theater Vorpommern “Gilgamesch” by Ralf Dörnen for Ballett Vorpommern. It is both an honour and a challenge to have the opportunity to compose for these two completely different productions. These are my 6th and 7th full-length music compositions for ballet and contemporary dance this year. I have composed, arranged, recorded and mixed over 400 minutes of music in 2022. Now I definitely need a break! TOI TOI to everyone involved for tonight!
For those who made up their minds at the last minute! Open Call for professional musicians/composers/sound artists in NRW who want to explore the artistic potential of conscious encounters with contemporary dancers/choreographers. Apply now for PulseLabs #2 (27-29 October) and #3 (3-5 November) by Cooperativa Maura Morales in co-production with FFT Düsseldorf.
It was a great pleasure to compose the soundtrack for this extraordinary piece, about which the critic Thomas Linden writes the following for tanzweb.org:
[…] Her courage (Maura Morales) to reach into the passionate depths of the Conditio Humana almost takes on the proportions of an exorcism. But it is precisely this attempt to give shape to the elusive sensuality of human beings with all consistency that transforms “EPICDERMIS” into such an extraordinary production. […] The extent to which the ensemble was able to charge the space in the Heeder factory with energy was then shown by the audience’s enthusiastic applause. “EPICDERMIS” is an experience, those who still have the chance to see this production should know that.
Just finished my music composition for “Gilgamesch”, the new ballet by Ralf Dörnen for Ballett Vorpommern 86 min of music!!!!! See you at the premiere on 22 October at the Stralsund Theatre Theater Vorpommern
Some rehearsal impressions of our new creation for the Tanzcompagnie Giessen. As always, an inspiring journey to compose the music for a contemporary dance piece by Maura Morales. Premiere will be on 21 October at the Stadttheater Giessen.

It was an intense journey and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to compose the music for this wonderful choreography by Maura Morales Yudesbiet.

I had the honour of composing the music for the full-length dance piece “Verwandlung/Fremdkörper”. The direction/choreography by Maura Morales for the TanzTheater Münster ensemble is based on the novel of the same title by Franz Kafka.
To all professional musicians/composers in NRW who would like to expand their radius of action in the direction of collaboration with contemporary dancers/choreographers!
Three times three – three artists from the field of music and three artists from the field of dance form three randomly assembled Pulse Teams, each of which develops a work together over a period of three days in the studio of Cooperativa Maura Morales, co-produced by the FFT Düsseldorf, curated by Maura Morales Yudesbiet and Michio Woirgardt.
At the end of the Pulse Lab, a jointly developed composition and choreography will be presented to the audience in the form of a “shoulder view”.

Here is the trailer and a press review of “Rayuela”, a work commissioned by choreographer Maura Morales for the ensemble of the MIR Dance Company at the Musiktheater im Revier in Gelsenkirchen.
[…] On the way between heaven and hell, the dancers complete a true “hell ride” between dance and acrobatics. Woirgardt has created a brutally energetic music for this, which drives the audience to the front edge of their seats. […] Michael Zerban for O-TON Kulturmagazin
