"this autumn I started my PhD, where my research topic is co-composed LIFE SIZE THEATRE in which way to make it possible for the performers and the audience to meet equally within the frame of a theatre piece, and my supervisor is Luule Epner.
the residency will focus on the stated topic. having dealt with it until now in a more written and analytical, abstract and hypothetical way, I will now for the first time engage with this theme physically and performatively, in physical space and in reality. in the last week of the residency, I will be joined by performance artist and philosopher Diego Agulló (GER/ESP) as an external eye and mentor.
The residency will end with a public showing, which will also be the first creative work of my PhD. it is currently entitled HANDSHAKE."
The showing will take place on April 15 at 17:00.
