LIVE WORKS – Free School of Performance

LIVE WORKS – Free School of Performance

Group of residents at LIVE WORKS – Free School of Performance
Description

Centrale Fies is a research and production centre for contemporary performance practices. The project was started in 1999 by Barbara Boninsegna and Dino Sommadossi with the Cooperativa il Gaviale on the experience of the drodesera festival (started in 1980).

Created in 2013 by Centrale Fies, in collaboration with Viafarini, 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.

6 artists will be selected and each artist will have:
● an annual fellowship of € 3,000.00
● Kick Off Seminar in the dates 30 June, 1-2 July 2023, during Live Works Summit 2023*
● a 15 day individual residency at Centrale Fies
● a collective residency together with all the selected artists, at Centrale Fies, in the summer 2024
in the frame of Live Works Summit 2024

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.

Artists and professionals from any geographic location and with no limits on age can enter the announcement, as individuals or in groups, with a single project. The open call only accepts unpublished or long-term projects that need to be developed and/or concluded, for which participation would represent an evolution of the project or its final chapter.

Outcome

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 visit, critical session and reading group. During the residency phase, Centrale Fies will provide a production and curatorial staff to assist the artists as they develop the selected projects.

The performances produced will be presented at Centrale Fies in the summer of 2024, during the second edition of Live Works Summit 2024. On this occasion the projects will be discussed by a board of international professionals, working for festivals, institutions, residencies and production programs that sustain and produce research in performance.
During each evening a program of established guest artists will be presented alongside the projects of the 6 Live Works artists.

Studio Information

Centrale Fies is a space organized for live spectacles and is equipped with specific technical equipment. Together with the competition announcement, a downloadable kit with diagrams and images of the space is available at their website.

The evaluation of the performance project’s feasibility within the requirements stated in the competition announcement is the responsibility of the artist.
