Open call to Hands on! workshop in Norway

Agder Teaterlaboratorium: Hands On! with Pauliina Hulkko

28th of July-11th 2024 of August in Arendal, Norway

19th of April 2024 - application deadline

 
In 2024, Agder Teaterlaboratorium is dedicated to the hands and manual practices. It is an invitation to delve into the primatial condition, and relearn how to become a Primate. The artistic investigation is led by theatre maker and professor Pauliina Hulkko, and forms part of her ongoing artistic research at Tampere University.
 
We invite artists to experiment together on the means and meanings offered by hands: How we utilize them, connect and interact through them, create with them – and how hands use us. We will be examining hands and manual labour in relation to artistic, everyday, and communal practices posing questions, such as: How do we use hands in our artistic and daily practices? What kinds of manual work and activities do we like to exercise, and what is their significance for us? How do we connect with others by
 
means of hands? What is the role of hands in relating to the material world, and especially to the more-than-human environment? Where can we find, and how could we enhance, the beauty and delight that resides in the hands and hand-related tactile experiences?

The project runs from Sunday 28th of July to Sunday 11th of August 2024. The laboratory ends with an open sharing of the process on 9th of August. It requires that you have the opportunity to travel to Arendal, Norway and spend the entire period there.
