Six Formats – format Lecture-performance (post-process)
Meeting an audience – Practical (dramaturgical?) knowledge at play
 
From the 28th September to the 3rd October, the Centre for Theatre Studies hosts the art-based research project Six Formats, based in the Academy of Fine Arts, in Vienna, led by Ingrid Cogne and Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein. The project questions six particular formats used to communicate art-based related knowledge: publication, exhibition, symposium, lecture-performance, screening, and workshop. A general presentation on the project is available here: https://www.akbild.ac.at/resolveuid/9df7dfbe006af8e5eb6042fa4b401665

Post-process format Lecture-performance in Lisbon
 
More than considering a format as a “tool” for the communication of a particular content in the field of artistic research, it seems crucial to look at a format’s particularities – the kinds of associations and circulations it may generate, allow or disavow – within the very moment of meeting with an audience (which differs depending on the institutional partners, from peers to visitors).
What is the practical knowledge that comes into play?
How to approach the dramaturgical aspect of that knowledge?
After a research period on the format Lecture-performance in Montreal, in January 2017, in Lisbon Six formats sets out to what is called a “post process” in the frame of the project – a working period to revisit and reactivate its main issues, fragilities, and further possibilities.
For five days, Paula Caspão, Ingrid Cogne, Julia Hölzl, and Tobias Pilz will gather to:
- question the relations: format as tool vs. format as meeting vs. format as event;
- outline the writing of an article, understood as displacement and/or circulation between doing and writing;
- challenge/exhaust situations of communication.
 
 
Join the research team (upon registration):
 
On the 30th of September, from 10h to 14h, five PhD candidates are invited to think together with the research team. Please register by sending an email to I.Cogne@akbild.ac.at before the 27th of September, with an outline of your PhD research subject, as well as the reason(s) why you would like to participate in the session. A confirmation indicating the location will be sent by the 29th of September.
 
 
Public presentation of Six Formats – post-process format Lecture-performance
 
On the 2nd of October, from 18h to 20h (room 2.2 FLUL), Six Formats invites you to a situation of communication/circulation of knowledge based on the format Lecture-performance. The research team gathered in Lisbon will build on a selection of parameters that will be tested on the spot: duration, location, setting, objects, degrees of participation, and levels of manipulation.
