Feedback culture in artistic circles and practices is increasingly growing and changing; many methods have been developed, adapted and modified in order to essentially support the creative process and realisation of a work. We are seeing ever more formats that open up the rehearsal process to receive feedback and communicate with audiences in a manner that goes beyond the known artist talk. Also within artistic education contexts, the desire is mounting for more quality-structured feedback that can guide students in both a critical and reflective way through their creative endeavours. Feedback is everywhere, and as a means to reflect, gather and share resources and methods on this expanding field the “Laboratory on Feedback in artistic processes” was initiated within the frame of “Teachback” – one of the modules of the project "Life Long Burning"in collaboration with HZT Berlin (Inter-University Centre for Dance) and Uferstudios Berlin.
The lab, held between 17th and 19th January 2014, invited a group of people who shared an interest in the topic. Over the two and a half days the group practiced, articulated and discussed different approaches, aims and experiences of existing methods of feedback. The idea was that a number of feedback-methods should be applied and tried out within the lab, as opposed to merely remaining on a theoretical discursive level.
Some of the questions that the meeting focused on were: What are the pitfalls of feedback? Where does it go wrong or become enforced? How to avoid feedback being a fashionable thing to do? How do we learn, improve and widen our means of giving and receiving feedback? How is this implemented in art practice and education today? How can the expertise and practise of feedback be passed on and grow, and what differences does it make, giving and receiving feedback depending of the perspective you take: for example as an artist, as a student, as an educator or a curator?
Here you can listen to the audio documentation of each contribution during the lab:

Tonight I will perform at St. Marks Church in Dagmar Spain's YELLOW IS NOT GOLD. Will I be able to replace moments in the piece that feel amorphous with those that feel potent and compelling? Daniel Nagrin once advised his choreographic students never to verbally share the basic impulse for your choreography, save the urge to share through your dance. Guard it as your secret. Lacking the toolbox of final cut pro to shape/morph/frame that image, I'm left to bumbling around in the dark room of my mind. With a video dance, one could simply show the idea, find it or create it, manipulate it. But for a live dance, the image is the impulse behind the choice of speed, shape, flow, a guide perhaps for the improvisation.
Perhaps awareness of physical sensations triggers thoughts which conjures images..
The altered state of dancing can interfere with clear thinking on how to transfer that pleasure, that escape from the daily norm, to the viewer. How does one dance to heat the blood in the viewer, make them feel their breath in a singular way. Lifting one's eyelids up for the metaphorical kiss.

Anatomía de un sueño nace de la necesidad de reflexionar sobre el hecho creativo.
Una directora de escena es atacada por un sueño. Cuando se recupera de las heridas se dedica a analizar la anatomía de los sueños con el objetivo secreto de que la próxima vez en que uno de ellos venga a atacarle ella sabrá defenderse y ponerlo contra las cuerdas.
Una pieza sobre dramaturgia y coreografía en la escritura escénica contemporánea.
La pieza parte de una investigación sobre dramaturgia y coreografía en la escritura escénica contemporánea. Sobre el proceso de creación y composición de un espectáculo en el que se funden la danza, el teatro, las imágenes, la música….Y busca respuesta a preguntas como
¿Es una pieza el fruto de un sueño?
¿Es posible diseccionar ese sueño?
¿Es posible ofrecer al público en un espectáculo el íntimo proceso de creación de ese espectáculo?
Una conferencia escenificada, en la que se analizan diversos aspectos de la creación "You Gonna Dance".

From 3rd July to 11th December, 2010
Titanik Gallery & Kutomo
Turku, Finland
Together with Titanik Gallery Ehkä-production initiates a new concept for experimental performances and works in progress in Turku. BETA is a mobile platform for artists from different fields to show their work while being in the process of making. Fundamental part of the whole idea is to encourage the art community into more open conversation upon performances. By inviting the participating artists and the audience to join an informal discussion after the performances (with a cup of coffee!) BETA gives to these not polished pieces a chance to get feedback and to grow.
Starting the 3rd of July 2010 BETA takes place in the street in front of Titanik Gallery, Itäinen Rantakatu 8 Turku, four Saturdays on a row. In August the lo-fi platform moves inside to the Kutomo space and changes its nature into an evening event.
Depending on the duration of the performances there will be 1-4 pieces in each BETA. If you´re interested in joining in as a maker please mail to info(at)ehka.net or info(at)titanik.fi.
Free entrance for public -WELCOME!
