WORKSHOP PART 1: LED PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
The first internal working day was led by Thomas Lehmen who gave a dance/movement workshop on the theme of ›structures‹.
WORKSHOP PART 2: INDEPENDENT PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
On the second day the students worked independently in small mixed disciplinary groups on the theme of ›borders‹. They presented their results that evening in the form of interactive performances, videos and photographs - in part of documentary or sketched nature -, an ›experiment‹ and an interactive audio game.
RESUMEE
feldstärke clearly demonstrates how important it is to offer up-and-coming artists a forum that gives space to ideas, experiments, reflection and exchange – space, removed from the evaluating and often restrictive views of institutions or the art industry, where artistic and also social questions can be approached through a combination of practice and theory.The fact that many students resolved to continue with the collaborations they formed during the 4 days working together affirms that feldstärke plays an important role in supporting networking between artists in our region.
