Purpose of the residency
Through participating in this programme, I aim to examine how cultural and artistic practices are sustained and transformed within their social contexts. By focusing on approaches such as those seen at the Royal Theatre Toone, a traditional public puppet theatre where practices are renewed by incorporating new languages in response to recent societal changes, I will reconsider the continuity of culture and its relationship with society from my own creative perspective. I will achieve this through my residency in Brussels, a multilingual and multicultural city where different cultures coexist in people's daily lives.
Plan during the residency
・Conduct fieldwork in markets and public spaces across Brussels to observe collective behaviours and social interactions within a multicultural urban environment.
・Visit the long-standing puppet theatre Royal Theatre Toone as an example of cultural practices sustained within multilingual contexts, examining performance formats and relationships between performers and audiences.
・Implement collaborative projects with artists.
・Develop experimental spatial and installation-based studies using visual and observational materials collected during the residency.
・Share and reflect on the research through open studio and discussions within the residency, integrating observations and critical exchange into the ongoing artistic process.
