P_A_R_Collective
an interdisciplinary collective working with performance and embodiment in physical space through the feminist gaze.
Our methodological approach is always exploratory, placing emphasis on process and becoming.
The goal is, through tracing, experimentation, dialogue with other mediums/epistemologies, and open exchange with collaborators,
to attune to new ways, methodologies, and aesthetics that actively relate to the present moment here (identity politics, climate crisis, sustainability, conversations around endemic patterns in the organization of artistic production).
OUR INTERESTS
THE BODY (SOMA) as a carrier of (her/his/their) stories, change, imagination
THE HERE AND NOW contemplation, situated knowledge, deep listening
WORKING UNCONVENTIONALLY WITH NARRATIVE through atmosphere, feeling (next to or beyond traditional narrative forms)
USING NON THEATRICAL SPACES site-specific, public spaces
ARTISTIC RESEARCH over time is essential for the creation of performable material. Work in progress, deep creative time, play, failure
INCLUSIVITY, INTERSECTIONALITY
NONVIOLENCE AND CARE in interactions with the Self and the Other (Care politics)
CONTINUOUS CONNECTION BETWEEN the personal/public/civic
