TEAM
Meet Our Experts
Our diverse team is committed to relentless curiosity in research, intervention, reflection and education. We understand performative inquiry as an embodied way of holding space for social encounter and individual development. Performative inquiry for us are directed steps into unknown territory. In this, we have a deeply empathetic relation with the imperfect, the emergent, the weird, absurd, the counter-intuitive - yet the relevant. And we love to perform stuff into existence.
CURRENT ACTIVITIES
We understand artistic performance as a means of inquiry, as a way of research. We work based on the understanding that research always intervenes, there is no separation between researcher and research subject. Accordingly we do stuff in order to initiate a response. Sometimes we are more interested in the response than in what we actually do. Here's an incomplete collage of what we are currently busy with.
