RESEARCH INTO THE UNKNOWN – improvisational laboratory / 2010
improvisation in dance and other artforms, and its relation to awareness and perception of performer and audience
organized by Michaela Hargitay / A (curator) and Zsóka Nej / Workshop Foundation / H (coordinator), artistic coach: Eszter Gál/H
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Workshop Foundation invites you to apply for a residency in the frame of Research into the Unknown, a program that aims at encouraging artists to research on improvisation as an artistic tool, as a means of creation in contemporary dance.
One Hungarian and one foreign choreographer/creative dancer participate in the residency program each semester and they choose partners, artists from other artforms, with whom they venture into the Unknown in an experimental fashion with the help of improvisation.
The program is made up of three consecutive steps, in each step the production period is followed by a presentation. The first demonstration offers a possibility to present a rough work-out of the artistic concept in a studio, with the integration of the audience as an active part of the performance. The second step is a work-in-progress show in a (theatre) studio with minimal lights and technical help, with audience feedback-round at the end. The closing evening of the residency program at the end of the third step is a theatre performance where participating pairs present the results of their research work.
We offer you:
- • rehearsal space
- • financial support
- • accommodation
- • travel costs (one trip to Budapest and back)

- • are experienced and curious to research into the subject of improvisation in dance
