HIGHWAYS OF KNOWLEDGE

A WORKSHOP WITH METTE INGVARTSEN
28.9. - 4.10. 2007. at net.culture club mama, Preradovićeva 18, Zagreb

hrvatska verzija

This is the first of the planned workshops in the framework of the project Highways of Knowledge, a project of the Centre for Drama Art in Zagreb. Participating artists are involved in the development of strategies that direct transfer and production of knowledge towards unhierarchical, two-way and reversible models.

The first in the series of workshops will be lead by Mette Ingvartsen, Danish choreographer and dancer. Educated at P. A. R. T. S. in Bruxelles, she has entered the European dance scene with a blast with her 2003 short choreography Manual Focus.

In the workshop we will work jointly on Everybodys Venue, a magazine that attempts to function as a theater venue. The idea would be to explore and practically experiment with the production of a “magazine performance” or possibly several performances.

As we have only little time together, we propose that everybody brings a work that they specifically would like to adapt into a magazine performance. Working with preexisting materials would facilitate not having to invent an original content, but rather examining how a work can be readapted to another format; how specific formats of performance can allow other aspects of an already existing performance to appear. It could be a performance of your own, something you would like to re-question, re-develop or in case you have not already made work you can always borrow a ready made.

We would like to set up a discussion forum for what the specificity of magazine performance can be? As I have not yet done this myself we will have to define together the stakes of the project + we can develop it according to our specific needs and desires as a group.

As we will be dealing with preexisting materials, we will hopefully develop techniques of transposing from one medium to another, through descriptions, interviews, image series, comments, scores, scripts, methods, reflections, audience reactions and so on.

We will have to print the magazine ourselves! So part of the workshop will also have to do with operating in-design or other ways of thinking layout and presentation.

For the work shop please bring:

a work you would like to readapt
a computer if you have one
other technical devises that might assist us, like recording devices, cameras and so on.

The workshop is realized through the working platform EkS-scena.
