DRAWING IN MOTION -
Intuitive painting on the iPad is for me live painting on stage. This time accompanying musicians at the SPACEX festival. It's preparation, anticipation and a bit of an adventure, because most of the time I don't know where the music will go. Musicians improvise and it's a challenge!

ENVIROMETAL ISSUES ARE OUR MAIN TOPIC
Art and science are cool
The body of an animal, including a human, is a whole world composed of many groups of small organisms. Inside small microorganisms are even smaller and they live in relationships and mutual interactions....
FOREST TALK
In 2023, we not only played for schools and in theaters in the Czech Republic and Germany, but also organized workshops for school children. Our latest activities are focused on education in a different way: Through theater and workshops, we bring children and adults closer to the invisible world of ecosystems. But not only that - also the world of microorganisms discovered by scientists in our bodies. We are connected by living organisms closely with nature and without their help, we would not survive.
The number of bacteria in and on a single human body is up to 100 trillion. This is equivalent to 500 times the number of stars in our Milky Way. Overall, the number of bacteria on Earth far exceeds the number of stars in the observable universe.
BOTTROP March 2023
The primary school program FiBiS is also a complete success in its second year
This week, the August-Everding cultural center in Bottrop is teeming with excited children. All have the same goal: the great performance of the Tineola Theater in the Chamber Concert Hall. Almost 500 pupils from Bottrop's elementary schools can again benefit from the series of events of the Puppentheater-Bildung-Schule (FiBiS) this year. Together they get a taste of cultural air on the one hand and on the other hand they get to know the forest better in a varied way this year.
With the newly established event series figure theater education school (FiBiS), culture and important school topics are to be connected in a lively and varied way in Bottrop. The program is funded by the Studienstiftung Grasedieck in cooperation with the cultural office as well as Maja Brüggemeier and Werner Bartelt-Brüggemeier, better known in Bottrop as the „Figurentheater Sonstwo“.
2020 and 2021:
During the 2020 and 2021, there was a large number of meetings, discussions and speeches on the topic of Wood Wide Web. They took place in the Czech Republic and Germany. People are interested in the fate of forests, climate change is evident. You just need to actively do something. This is one of the conclusions of our discussions. And so we continue and we will try to organize other events and meetings on the environmental topic. The nearest will be November 20, 2021 in Aleš's South Bohemian Gallery in České Budějovice.

ŘEČI O LESE
Během roku 2020 a 2021 probíhalo velké množství setkání, diskuzí i vystoupení na téma Wood Wide Web. Konaly se v Čechách i v Německu. Lidi zajímá osud lesů. Klimatická změna je evidentní. Jen je třeba aktivně něco dělat. To je jeden ze závěrů našich diskuzí. A tak pokračujeme a budeme se snažit na enviromentální téma pořádat další akce a setkání. Nejbližší bude 20.11.2021 v Alšově jihočeské galerii v Českých Budějovicích.

Michaela Bartoňová: Když kreslím na iPadu v rytmu hudby, mám pocit, že je to vlastně kreslená podoba automatického psaní. Kresba je impulsívní a nepromyšlená, tak jako dětská kresba. Samozřejmě, že kdesi za tím jsou zkušenosti, asociace a spojitosti, které se vynořují. Ale ruka jakoby tvoří sama. Je to čistá improvizace. Z toho lze posléze vycházet u dalších, víc promyšlených kreseb.
Když mne hudba vede, zdá se mi, že pluju, nebo plachtím. K tomu je potřeba určitá vnímavost a schopnost transformovat hudbu, tóny, rytmus do čar a barev. Je to dobrodružství a člověk musí být do hudby ponořený a trénovat, stejně jako se trénuje hraní na housle nebo na trumpetu.
Pro diváka je fasinující být u zrodu několika čtyřmetrových obrazů a navíc jen během pár minut.
