“Polyphonic Thinking” Rehearsals at the Democracy Laboratory
At the Democracy Laboratory held throughout the camp, the young musicians were instructed on themes such as “team spirit”, “leadership”, “decision-making”, “responsibility”, “limits of democratic participation”, "listening to others and respecting their voice”, “living together” with examples from polyphonic music settings. Coupled with music education, “concentration”, “performance-enhancing meditation” and “psychodrama” exercises were executed for the first time in an orchestra rehearsal in Turkey.
