DIALOGICAL EXPERIMENTS v2
April 19 - April 29
Krumville, NY
Tuition $500 *includes food and lodging | tuition and travel subsidies available
Many thinking and making practices use, shape and implicate conversation. This often involves intentionally structuring the conversation – setting how it happens, when, with whom and where. A symbiotic relationship develops between the content of the conversation, the structure that holds it, the lives of the participants within it and the setting around which it occurs. We are invested in playing with and investigating this relationship.
For this intensive, we invite anyone who uses dialogue in their creative practice to create a dialogical structure which will be enacted 5 times throughout the session. These structures will exist alongside creative collaboration, workshops, opportunities for revision, daily tasks of living together such as gardening, cooking, eating and cleaning, which will all be folded into a collectively lived conversation.
Each attendee, will be responsible for designing a 30 minute structured conversation for 2-10 participants which will be slightly revised and adapted after each iteration. Things to consider are: how many people will be involved in the conversation, where it will occur, what rules or structure will guide it, and what kinds of variables will they alter on each iteration? Throughout the session, we will experiment with multimodal and asymmetric ways of generating material to transfer these conversations into archivable/recombinable content.
People from all backgrounds are welcome to apply including musicians, curators, academics, social practice artists, writers, dancers, activists, cultural mediators, and educators who can propose and engage in creative structures for conversation such as scores, choreographies, prompts for dialogue, interactive interfaces, etc.
