Nada Gambier
They write you out of the narrative. You leave them out of the story. We create new scripts.
27.9 + 29.9 + 2.10 @ 10h00-17h00
A 3-day working shift around creative writing based on gentle trespassing and structured cacophony. We will use interference as a tool for widening our individual writing styles and skills. Minimum attendance day 1 and 2. Bring your own writing to start working from (lists, essays, paragraphs, loose sentences…).
For more info please contact nadakatinka@gmail.com
 
Federico Protto
Fashion Hypnosis
28.9 @ 14h00-18h00
Can you locate the space between the clothes you are wearing and your skin? Fashion Hypnosis is a soft guided meditation exploring what, how, when, where, and why we carry, wear, fit, attire, button up, button down, buckle, fasten, drape, dress, and undress. Based on a practice developed in a.pass in 2020, we will collectively experiment the ‘soft’ hypnosis further into a somatic-movement score relating to garments, textiles, and costumes provided and activated in space.
For more info please contact federico.prottoscutti@gmail.com
 
Sarah Pletcher
collaboration from here and there
28.9 @ 18h30-20h30
A talk/open discussion about how artists can collaborate with one another when living or working in different locals. How can we carry the collective with us when we relocate?
For more info please contact spletcher123@gmail.com
 
Tulio Rosa & Paoletta Holst
crossreadings
3 + 4.10 @ 18h-21h30
A curatorial exercise that brings together a selection of films and books that approach the legacies of colonialism across different geographies and socio-political contexts. Departing from materials that have been a reference to the artists’ research, these two evening sessions explore how the cross reading of works produced in different times and continents might be able to create a space of reflection sustained by the frictions and similarities that might emerge between them. The programme will be also accompanied by the presentation of Hunting Song, a publication produced by Túlio as conclusion of his journey at a.pass Research Center Cicle IV in which he crosses historical accounts of violence with the music scores of the opera Il Guarany.
For more info please contact Paoletta mail@paolettaholst.info or Túlio rosa.tulio@hotmail.com
 
Lucia Palladino
correspondances_I discovered loving is like going harvesting wild herbs in the forest
4.10 @ 15h30-17h30
A participative reading, writing and listening score producing content from neurological atypical patterns that questions language, hierarchies of knowledge and modes of learning.
For more info please contact info.luciapalladino@gmail.com
 
Amy Pickles & Chloe Janssens
getting into character/s
5.10 + 6.10 +7.10 @ 18h-20h
Three evenings of rituals and writing to work through difficulties, embarrassments and discomfort of composing words as someone else. The evenings are for individual work, but undertaken in a collective setting. For more info please contact amymaypickles@gmail.com
