Centrale Fies Art work Space is an independent centre for residencies and the production of contemporary performing arts, located within a hydroelectric centre that dates from the early 1900s, still partially active, owned by Hydro Dolomiti Energia.
The project, launched in 1999 by Barbara Boninsegna and Dino Sommadossi with the Cooperativa il Gaviale on the experience of drodesera festival (born in 1980), is a proper cultural enterprise. Their activities are characterized by a hybrid model of sustainability, with public and private contributions.Created in 2013 by Centrale Fies, LIVE WORKS - Free School of Performance is a platform dedicated to live contemporary practices that contribute to deepening and broadening the idea of performance, following the current evolution of performance and its styles.
The open call LIVE WORKS includes creative residency periods for the selected projects. LIVE WORKS sees performance as a workspace, and as an instrument and cultural exercise. Starting from the notion of performance in the visual art practice, the project is unique in its particular attention to hybrid research, underlining the openness and fluidity of performance, its social and political implications and its level of public understandability.
The announcement is open to a wide range of performative actions, also including sound and new media arts, text-based performances, lecture-performances, multimedia storytelling, choreographic practices, relational and workshop-based projects, and other projects questioning the idea of performativity beyond the body.
The production of the performance projects during the residency will be supported by diverse types of curatorship, from theoretical to technical development, a Free School of Performance with studio visits, critical session and reading group. During the residency phase, Centrale Fies will provide production and curatorial staff to assist the artists as they develop the selected projects.
