Open Call: Summer Workshops | Real Time Composition | João Fiadeiro
SUMMER WORKSHOPS
Real Time Composition | João Fiadeiro
Forum Dança | August 2023
OPEN APPLICATIONS
Until August 4, 2023
Applications are now open for two workshops on RTC – Real Time Composition, guided by João Fiadeiro.
This cycle of Workshops in Real Time Composition is composed of two different weeks, each one of them directed to people with different practices.
Workshop I – Introduction to the Real Time Composition practice
21 to 25 of August, with João Fiadeiro
It is a “practical” workshop, in the sense that it will be through experimentation that the attendees will access the premises and principles that guide this proposal, but the transmission will be made in a “frame by frame” mode, privileging the detail and the specificity of each tool-concept that sustains the doing-thinking of Real Time Composition.
In this regard there will be a special care and attention to the multiple dimensions that compose the body of work of this way of operating, isolating each of its valences through situated exercises (that underline certain aspects of its composition); the presentation and discussion of examples (via videos from the archive and works by other artist-researchers); and diagrams that translate through graphics the way Real Time Composition manifests itself.
Workshop II – Immersive Real Time Composition practice
August 28th to September 1st, with João Fiadeiro and Márcia Lança as invited guest
This proposal will privilege the access to this tool through an immersive practice, mediated by a set of “performative devices” that provide different speeds, sensibilities, and intensities. These devices are, in many cases, extracted from performative experiences that João Fiadeiro has been developing over the years, where he used the theatrical apparatus (in the architectural and ideological sense) to investigate the limits and perceptual protocols of what we call “real” or “fiction”; “private” or “public”; “inside” or “outside”.
During this week the ambition will be to “grow into” this practice in order to access a quality of presence (and participation) dear to Real Time Composition: to understand how to relinquish control and orientation (indispensable to access what affects us) without losing rigor and lucidity (indispensable to share what affects us).
