First Week in ArtEZ, Institute of the Arts, Master of Theatre Practices. Thoughts after meeting with

My research question at the initial proposal :

How to use elements from the performing arts, psychoanalysis, science and/or politics, in order to better understand what is needed for “in-between”, “non-spaces” to be revealed on stage and in life.

Thoughts I had during the week

How can I propose alternatives that will show things form different angles on stage and in life?

By moving constantly?

By creating a discussion?

Alternative: something that is "as good as" or "good enough" (Winnikott.)

Do I search for alternatives or do I search for intimacy? Do I search for alternatives in order to create intimacy? (from Joao Da Silva's session 6.9)

What would be an alternative (as good as or better) way of living and working ?

To care for the small, the intimate, the personal.

1) How to use institutions and systems in order to develop a sustainable practice in researching and performance making.

2) How can I keep the small, the intimate and the personal, in the way the work is done among people involved, and in the way I approach the audience. If I find a way to keep intimacy, care within institutionalised/systemic working and/or living, it is a good enough alternative for me. This is where the in-between space lies.
