Running as Connective Practice?
(2024)
author(s): Falk Hubner, Heleen de Hoon
published in: Fontys Academy of the Arts
In this exposition, Falk Hübner and Heleen de Hoon share the process and reflections of their collaborative research project "Running Tilburg". In this project, Falk aimed to connect to an urban surrounding by means of long distance running.
In September 2021, Falk Hübner started his work as professor of Artistic Connective Practices at Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg, The Netherlands. Together with dramaturge Heleen de Hoon, he decided to get to know and connect to the city and the new surroundings by running it, and explore running as a connective practice - literally through spending time with feet on the ground.
Heleen and Falk asked a group of colleagues, all living in the city, to share places to run by, and related stories to these places. Guided by these stories Falk and Heleen created a map and a script for a 53K run, documented by video, photos and field notes. Rather than presenting conclusive findings and final reflections, the purpose of this exposition is to share the documentation of the process and the experience. Thus, we understand the project and this exposition quite literally as a first step to lead to potentially next and new steps.

Dit is een onderzoek naar 'het kunstzinnige' in het (professioneel) leven van alumni die, tijdens hun opleiding tot pedagogisch coach, werden ondergedompeld in een bad vol kunst en cultuur, vanuit de overtuiging dat dit hen zou verrijken in hun werk, in hun leven en hopelijk, misschien, in beide.
