SharedSpace: Music Weather Politics aims to explore scenography beyond the conventional idea of a stage set.
It will explore it as complex environmental spaces for performative events and these spaces as places where people meet. SharedSpace will provide a laboratory for exploration of theatre as – 'the last human venue ' – where the valuable live interaction between people – the core of social relations – takes place. It will also explore communities created in these spaces. And how does space influence formation of our interrelations in a community. These issues are very crucial for our future – due to individualization of our lives through the Internet in the age of social imbalance. These spaces will further be explored through interaction with the invisible – yet often crucial ingredients of scenography: music, weather and politics: exploring the art, nature and social aspects of scenography as performative environments.
Theatrical, spectacular, invisible and illusion have in the last decades come to mean something deceptive and negative. SharedSpace aims to rethink theatre and theatrical as a politically positive force - 'sharing grounds' for the creation of our communities and fantastic visions. SharedSpace: Music Weather Politics will explore how we occupy, create and take responsibility for our performative spaces and how they are influenced by invisible but crucial aspects such as music, weather and politics.
SharedSpace will: form international discourse for scenography as a trans-disciplinary field; build new forms of scenography for performative symposia and exhibits; provide international creative space for sharing for professionals, students and theorists; explore “theatre" and “fantastic" as social, political forces; work with global-local dynamics within project and provide inclusiveness, openness and mobility for everybody interested.
The events for scenographers, theatre-makers, architects, theorists, (symposia, workshops, exhibitions, residencies etc) are wide open to professionals, students and wide public will take place throughout 2013 - 2016 in the Czech Republic, Italy, United Kingdom, Latvia, Poland, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Israel and Switzerland.
