In situ creation workshop with Christian Coumin and Pau Portabella
The artist’s workshop will take place from 10-15 December, from 10 am until 5 30 pm (Monday-Friday) and Saturday at a time to be arranged.
In situ collective creation centred in surprise and the use of space, taking a lead from the skills and achievement of each of the participating artists. Discovering, dominating and being inspired by the venue. Getting to know and discovering the other participants. The aim will be to construct ideas as a group in line with the people and the space.
Experience-based collective activity, transforming material in favour of the common objective of a precise adaptation, trusting (in oneself and the others), seeing what happens.
Artistic Discipline
Circus
Target Candidate
12 emerging professional artists (solo or duos) are sought who have finished their circus studies in the last 1 to 3 years, are attracted by the dynamics of collective research and who are immersed in personal research or need to return to a period of experimentation after performing for some time.
Candidates must live in the geographical zone corresponding to Catalonia, Occitania/Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Aragon, Euskadi (Basque Country) and Navarre/Navarra. The project will take care of travel costs and the stay of artists from France.
