| Definition of artistic practice? | Exploring themes like decision-making, body politics, and audience engagement. The residency is about discovery, collective research, and pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance and performance |
| Title of the investigation at the residency | Research lab 2025 for movement-based artists |
| Description of investigations and findings | Define need & urgency Approach: reimagine, improvise, respond Make material: let images guide sustainable marks Return to video: treat recordings as living material |
| What are you most curious about or invested in in your own practice? | Content Development Strategies: When does the creation process truly begin in performing arts? Does it start with a theme, a story, or a personal impulse? How does an initial idea evolve—through research, improvisation, or collaboration? What drives the first choices: emotional resonance, social relevance, or artistic challenge? And how do these early questions shape the structure, movement, and meaning of the final performance? |
| What questions did you bring to investigate and what questions are you leaving with? | How do you initiate your creative process? Do you start by: asking a question? telling a story? creating an image? exploring concepts? developing performative actions? building a technology? manipulating materials? or perhaps by activating: memory or history? lived experiences? specific spaces or geographies? A particular body of knowledge? a place, an institution or an archive... Creation is a spiral...when does it start? how the input continue refering to the same questions? When does it end? |
| Transformative, creative moments at the residency | Being permeable by the landscape, let yourself be carried away by the surrounding What is your burning desire? What are you burning for? What do you want to urgently express? Go with intuition/impulse Improvise/// SPACE gave us a resonance to our artistic practice and desire PLAYING in relation/friction with different places/landscapes Being INFLUENCED and inspired by EACH OTHER |
