Jayachandran Palazhy (Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts, Bangalore) and
Clara Vaughan (Market Theatre Laboratory, Johannesburg) - inputs and discussion.
Chaired by:
Ogutu Muraya
How important are physical meetings to collective creative processes and developing good working relationships? To what extent can we replace them with online tools? And what does this mean for the future of a climate-friendly, decolonial international collaboration?
Jayachandran Palazhy and Clara Vaughan, talk about their experiences of rehearsal, performances and co-operation projects in the past year. What positive effects might there have been, but also where did the challenges lie – both locally and in an international context?

About the
ACADEMY #2 – Lost in space?
Theatrical Community, Protest and International Collaboration in a Disembodied Age
June 10 - 12, 2021
Conference programme online;
Workshops in various locations
Language: English
The pandemic has hit theatres hard all over the world. Places that were built for bodies to gather and share meaningful experiences together have spent most of the last year empty. The Impulse Academy takes a closer look at this situation. What is lost when performances and working processes take place in the digital space? And what is gained?
The three days of the ACADEMY will take place in a hybrid format, both online and in person in Düsseldorf and Cologne, Berne, Johannesburg and Minsk.
The lectures and discussions in the mornings will focus on the role of the body in creating communities, political protest and international collaboration. These will take place online via Zoom.
In a workshop held over multiple afternoons, participants will explore the art of touching, smell, intimacy and vulnerability. The workshop will take place in person in Düsseldorf.
The
ACADEMY #2 – LOST IN SPACE? is funded by the
Goethe-Institut and the International Visitors Programme of the
NRW KULTURsekretariat.
