SPRING Adacemy: Performing (Public) Spaces hosted by orancosong

Please note: there is space for 20 participants per trajectory

This trajectory invites participants to explore how public space can be questioned, redefined, and reclaimed through artistic practice, both as artists and as people connected to the city — even if only for a few days. It examines how shared spaces can be activated and transformed, engaging with the proposition that public space may emerge through acts of gathering and performance.

It brings together works that take place in public spaces with others that unfold inside the theatre,approaching the theatre as one site among others for gathering, discussion, and collective reflection on social, public, and political life through different formats.

Host

orangcosong is an artist collective founded by Minori SUMIYOSHIYAMA and Chikara FUJIWARA, who are based in Yokohama (Japan) and have worked in various cities in Asia, Europe, and Africa. While based on their experience in the performing arts, they have mainly conducted art projects outside theatres. Especially after the covid-19 disaster, they have been trying to create ‘spaces for dialogue, exploration, exchange’ both on-site and online where people can meet safely and develop their trust.
