Technology, the Body, and Choreography

Free residency at Lake Studios Berlin sponsored by TroikaTronix – Mark Coniglio

We invite dance makers invested in the field of technology to apply for this special 4 - 6 week residency hosted at Lake Studios Berlin between July 1 – August 15 2018

We are searching for artists who consciously use elements of technology to affect the choreographic process and performance. We look for work that uses technology to expand or intervene in the body’s performative and choreographic possibilities while keeping the human body in the foreground of the work. The role of the technology should be integral to the choreographic expression: it should connect, organize or disrupt the body or bodies aesthetically, socially, or politically.

To apply please submit the following (please use the provided application form provided if possible!):

-  An artist statement (no more than 200 words) about how you define, perceive and work with the element of technology in your 

   performance work.

-  A description (no more than 500 words) of what you would like research and develop during the residency

-  Supporting video and documentation material of current and/or past work

-  Your CV and the CVs of any collaborating artists

We will provide:

• a private room and access to a shared kitchen, and bathroom in the Lake Studios Complex for one person. A second bed is available in the room.

• 100 hours of studio space divided between our small and large studios

• Technical equipment: 2 beamers, selected stage lights/light board, sound system and mixer, microphones, sound recorder, video camera to record rehearsals, etc.

• A presentation of the first stage of the work for feedback in our performance series Unfinished Fridays on July 27

• 2 hours of coaching by Mark Coniglio (creator of the media programming software Isadora)

• 50€/ week stipend

The selected resident must provide his/her own transportation and meals.

Lake Studios would like to thank TroikaTronix, maker of Isadora, for their generous financial support of this residency.

We will notify all artists of the selection results by March 22, 2018.

La Granja Art Center promotes the creation, research, experimentation, and exhibition of innovative

art work, and also the development of new social dynamics between artists and community. La

Granja conducts and implements two initiatives to accomplish its goals. One is the Artist in Residence

Program, and the second, Proyecto Chamaco (Children Project).

The Artist in Residence Program (ARP) offers a unique opportunity to step outside of the daily routine

and work in a stimulating and inspiring environment, providing the necessary isolation to concentrate

and focus in a creative process. An important component of the Program is to foster exchanges with

the community, arts organizations, promoters, and national and international artists. With the purpose

of connecting La Granja´s activities with the local community, artists will prepare one working session

with the children of Proyecto Chamaco.

The Selection Committee of La Granja will select a group of emerging and established artists from

different nationalities to develop or finish an artistic project. Upon completion of their residencies, one

of the ARP partner organization presenters will give artists the opportunity to show their results (as

finished pieces or as works in progress). The Selection Committee will evaluate the characteristics

of each project to decide its presentation space and will solve any issue not foreseen in this Call for

Proposals.

La Granja is open to all disciplines - visual, literary, performance, interdisciplinary, music, audio,

video, digital media. Priority will be given to projects focused on the creation of site-specific

pieces for La Granja including its photographic and video documentation (video dance, video

art), as well as interdisciplinary investigations.

Residency duration:

Mínimum 15 and maximum 30 days, between February 1st and May 1st, 2011.
