Nomadic School\u00a0<\/strong>Shipbuilding and other joint efforts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Riga, Latvia, 4 \u2013 \u00a011 September 2015<\/p>\n

The\u00a02nd\u00a0edition of\u00a0Nomadic School\u00a0is an investigation of the multiple dimensions of\u00a0engagement\u00a0and shared learning. A\u00a0Festival<\/em>, a\u00a0School<\/em>\u00a0are ships made by many for many.\u00a0They are designed as\u00a0intensive\u00a0environments\u00a0of constant friction and of sometimes harsh conditions. They are a calling to regroup and\u00a0to voyage\u00a0together\u00a0on a mission. To become a pack, a tribe, shipmates. Yet\u00a0simultaneously, as liminal spaces and modes of transit,\u00a0 both school and Festival must question the very alliance that form them and be suspicious of the mutual.<\/p>\n

Nomadic School is an invitation to navigate within these intensities and oppositions, to trace but also to put them in suspension, to create voids and secret liaisons.<\/p>\n

The programme of the school will journey through and around the programme of the festival establishing connections, inhabiting the spaces\u00a0in between<\/em>, taking walks, reading together, questioning the ways we work, think and learn together.<\/p>\n

Addressed as a disposition rather than as a thematic, Nomadic school will trace paths where inhabitants and visitors, artists and students, locals and foreigners, humans and objects, can cohabit the very specific atmosphere of a festival, engaging into a collective research trajectory \u2013 namely, a \u201cschool\u201d \u2013 that will ground its contents into the specific topics raised by the performances, the talks, the wanderings, the buildings, the time off and the time on of a festival meant as a public gesture and a school powered by friendship.<\/p>\n

The program involves: Silvia Bottiroli (artistic director, Santarcangelo Festival), \u00a0Guy Gutman\u00a0(Director, School of Visual Theatre in Jerusalem), Livia Andrea Piazza (researcher, Brussels), Paride Piccinini (architect, Forl\u00ec), Tami Lebovits (choreographer, Tel Aviv), Philippe Quesne (director and scenographer, Paris).<\/p>\n

Application<\/strong><\/p>\n

The call is reserved for students in various fields of performance ( theatre, performance, chorography, dance, scenography) but also open for students in related fields such as philosophy, architecture, design etc.,\u00a0 who are eager and willing to engage in a research process and experimentation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Nomadic School<\/em>\u00a0will take place in Riga, Latvia between the 4th<\/sup>– 11th<\/sup>\u00a0of September 2015 with arrival day on September 4 and departure day on September 11. It is conceived as a habitat, an environment for sharing all the activities and responsibilities of a temporary community, as the modalities of living together are considered as part of the learning experience\u00a0per se<\/em>.<\/p>\n
