Die Offene Bühne Zürich ist ein Treffpunkt für improvisierende Musiker:innen, eventuell auch Vertreter:innen anderer performative Kunstformen, der die Chance bietet, in adhoc gebildeten Formationen gemeinsame Improvisierte Stücke auf der Bühne zu präsentieren. Eine Bühne, die als Experimentierfeld für Improvisation und künstlerischen Ausdruck dient. Darüber hinaus schafft sie eine soziale Kunstplattform, die es interessierten Künstler:innen ermöglicht, auf der Bühne sowohl mit zufällig zusammengestellten als auch bewusst gewählten Konstellationen aufzutreten.

Freier Eintritt für aktive Künstler:innen sowohl für das interessierte Publikum.
