W/R
The seed of every creative process takes place in the subconscious, beyond our control. It matures within us imperceptibly, until its presence becomes inevitable. It is only then that it emerges in the form of a conscious decision. It is the process that calls us, claiming its own existence and not vice versa.
This workshop is designed for people from all different artistic disciplines, who want to enter into the creative act through the body. Regardless of which stage of the process they are: either at the beginning, in a questioning phase, or still in the form of an intuition. Participants will develop their own personal project, they will work on their concerns, focusing on the research rather than on the results. Living in the questions rather than in the answers. This workshop-residence will focus on creating an experience that will enrich and influence our research process. Theory and practice will be combined in order to stimulate our practice.
It will consist of two parts:
1-Workshop: a series of exercises, discussions, lectures, reflections, exchange of information and methodologies.
2-Residency and Coaching: Participants will spend some time and space daily to develop their work individually, as in a regular residency. In the afternoons, you will also have the opportunity of coaching, lead by Antia and German. A “one-to-one” in-depth immersion into your personal research and project.
Selected artists will receive a short bibliographic list and some more detailed input to be taken into account before reaching the island.
INFO
As during an artistic residence, the workshop doesn’t have any time limitation. It is structured in different working sessions (individual, collective, sharing). In some moments of individual work, each participant can choose to work in other places of the city. The work will be in full connection with the city.
We will use and choose among materials and tools: the body, lectures, theories, methodologies, techniques, films, images and sounds.
The workshop is directed to artists interested in artistic research coming from dance, performance, theatre, visual and sound fields.
We will work in the spaces of the former Asilo Filangieri, which will also provide the guesthouse, included in the participation fee. The guesthouse will be a house for us and as such it will be taken care of, kept clean, embellished and improved.
