How to Make Performing Arts Survive Time and Become an Accessible Archive: An Attempt to Register Performing Art’s Creation

While the momentariness of performing arts might be one of the most (if not the most) fascinating aspect of the art form allowing to experience the fragility of live events and creatures themselves, the context they depend upon, it is also approached as a great obstacle for a smooth evolution (or rather enriching and intriguing transformation) of the art form. It is believed that not having a medium that allows registering and archiving pieces of creation causes a constant loss. Having in mind that a certain amount of loss of any art form is inevitable, the performing arts situation is understood as quite unbalanced, or rather, problematic from the artist’s point of view. It is believed that not being able to access the history of creation (not from a historical but (more or less) direct contact with the creation point of view), tangles, straitens the potential of an artist, makes him/her feel the gaps of collective memory. By contemplating authenticity, repetition, difference, continuity, context and interconnection, creation is addressed as a collective and complex process. A piece of performing arts itself is approached in the same way (consisting of various interconnected elements), suggesting a similar approach towards the registration process. Work consists of the initial version of performance registration structure/system CYCLE and the essay ‘How to Make Performing Arts Survive Time and Become an Accessible Archive: An Attempt to Register Performing Art’s Creation’.

COLLABORATIVE MUSIC CREATION: leading conservatory students in musical creation processes
This research is about the development of active autonomous creativity among conservatory students in classical departments. In this exposition I will discuss the nature of collaborative creation processes, and critically investigate my own role as a coach and facilitator of these processes in order to better understand how ideas are being generated, developed and ultimately shaped into a performed piece. The investigation will be illustrated with a selected number of projects I have been involved in during the years 2017-2020.
