ARTICULATE OPEN CLASSROOMS 

On 17 and 18 October, as part of ARTICULATE I CARE, artist-researchers of the Conservatoire present their research to students, by elaborating on the scope of their project, introducing their methods, research processes, or (preliminary) conclusions, performing an artistic result or by supervising a workshop.

14:00 - 16:00

hyperwithin  
Room 437, Conservatoire 
workshop / language: English 
by ANNE-LISE BREVERS, live music by NAH 

Should we start disappearing now, so we don’t disappear forever? If performance is the height of human visibility, could withdrawing and becoming less visible create change? In this workshop, we explore the idea of embracing invisibility or standing "outside" as a radical act of resistance. We focus on the paradox of "disappearing" as a strategy to prevent a greater disappearance, especially in the context of human-centered performance and ecology. By morphing into a faceless crowd and following a rigorous pattern, we will attempt to achieve freedom from representation through self-loss. 
Keywords: resistance, anti-success, darkness, punk ethos, xenogothic, margins. 

14:00 - 16:00 

Space Boom! Spaces 
Room 436, Conservatoire 
workshop / language: English 
by MIGUELÁNGEL CLERC PARADA 

This workshop explores the creative potential of musical disturbances within choreographic processes. Participants will engage in improvisation, using various aural and musical tasks to generate and transform movement. Different forms of musical change and interference will be employed to open new creative possibilities. In the context of care, we will discuss how noise contributes to shared discourse, personal agency, and resilience. The discussion will also address how incorporating noise into dance creates a feedback loop between artistic practice, research, methods, and experience.  

MIGUELÁNGEL CLERC PARADA’s research examines noise as a creative and critical tool in artistic environments. 

14:00 - 16:00 

HARD TIMES GOOD TIMES 
Room 501, Conservatoire 
workshop / language: English 
by SOPHIA DANAE VORVILA  

HARD TIMES GOOD TIMES is an ongoing collaborative research project in dance and performance. SOPHIA DANAE VORVILA explores how daily discomfort can interact with dance, sublimation, and creation. By collaborating with artists from various fields (cinema, visual arts, performance, music), she develops a synthesis of each artist’s solo of discomfort and fragmented topography. 
In this workshop, participants are introduced to embodied exercises and physical scores to explore creation through improvisation, text, and instant composition. Participants will engage with physicality and intensity, using materials related to their emotional landscapes and imagination. 

14:00 - 16:00 

THE MANY-HEADED BODY  
Room 435, Conservatoire 
Workshop/movement research - language: English 
by YASEN VASILEV, DANY KIRILOV 

THE MANY-HEADED BODY is an exploration of how touch can facilitate collective action. A group of performers have their eyes closed, remaining in constant contact, breathing together, and attempting to form a collective, more-than-human body to explore its movement potential. Inspired by the many-headed slime, a unicellular organism that can make decisions and remember without a central nervous system or brain, the movement doesn't belong to any individual performer. It has its own internal dramaturgy, emerging from the point of contact between bodies, rather than anyone's individual will
