MODES OF WORK

 

 

 

The residency combines several interconnected modes of artistic inquiry and production.

 

Artistic presentation and contextualization

Participants articulate their questions, methods, materials, positions, and intended forms. Presentation is treated as an analytic act through which implicit premises, practical constraints, and unresolved problems become available for examination.

 

Dramaturgical analysis

Scores, scripts, recordings, diagrams, spatial plans, visual materials, objects, interfaces, and technical protocols are examined with attention to temporality, agency, mediation, context, relation, and perceptual consequence.

 

Collaborative development

Participants test propositions through sustained exchange. Collaboration may involve compositional clarification, embodied experimentation, interdisciplinary translation, counterproposals, structural revision, and the identification of absent perspectives, materials, or competencies.

 

Composition and performance

Composition and performance are approached as reciprocal modes of inquiry rather than sequential stages. Attention is given to notation, embodiment, listening, gesture, duration, interpretation, responsiveness, and the distribution of artistic agency.

 

Scenographic and technological inquiry

Space, light, image, objects, costume, sound systems, interfaces, digital processes, and other technical elements are examined as active dramaturgical agents. Participants consider how design and technology organize perception, action, access, labor, and production responsibility.

 

Laboratories and rehearsals

Practice-led formats enable questions to develop beyond verbal discussion. They support testing, failure, repetition, comparison, revision, and the emergence of knowledge through embodied and situated work.

 

Public presentation

Festival presentations place artistic inquiry in relation to spaces, institutions, practitioners, and audiences. Publicness is treated not as the display of a finished object, but as a demand for formal precision, contextual responsibility, and perceptual consequence.
