Oorkaan meets TAoME: “Out of control – (shared) responsibility”

Oorkaan dedicates itself to the creation of high-quality staged concerts for young and emerging audiences. Our aim is to give everyone the opportunity to experience the power of live music. Our internationally awarded productions bring music from all over the world, performed by outstanding musicians. In 2021, we launched our very own Oorkaan Ensemble. 

Our dynamic staged concerts are created with the internationally recognized Oorkaan Method. Key to this approach is the collaborative relationship between the stage director and the musicians who co-create the visual narrative through the music itself.

At the Oorkaan Academy, musicians step out of the traditional “box”: they train in physical acting and learn to “play” two instruments simultaneously — their musical instrument and their bodies. Performing from memory allows them to leave their chairs, abandon the music stand, and move freely, interacting with each other and the audience.

With music as the script, the director relies on the musicians’ co-creative mindset, enabling them to convey ideas through sound and movement. Each staged concert becomes an engaging bridge between abstract music and relatable themes — such as relational dynamics, leadership, teamwork, and personal self-expression — especially resonating with younger audiences.

Our musicians communicate through their music, so language no problem.
