What might prospective artistic doctoral research in dance and performance look like? In what ways might the artistic doctoral researcher engage with the world differently? How might the doctoral experience be refigured, transformed, repositioned?’ What differences might the doctorate make? What will embodied artistic research be like in the future? What does art have to do with it?
We invite you to experience three Future Manifestos by doctoral artist-researchers and to join speculations about future opportunities of the artistic doctorate in dance and performance. The event offers a space to discuss and re-imagine the role of the artist-researcher and to re-consider the position art has in (doctoral) artistic research. The event thus aims to connect, challenge, call for change and make a difference to art, to movement, to research, to communities. Come and help us to imagine a new the purpose, delivery, approach to and/or significance of artistic doctoral research.
The event is hosted and curated by the project Artistic Doctorates in Europe: Third cycle provision in Dance and Performance (ADiE). This Erasmus+ funded project is a three-year project, investigating artistic research inquiries within doctoral level degrees in dance and performance. Future Manifestos is the final event of the project, hosted by Zodiak, Theatre Academy (Uniarts Helsinki) and Kiasma Theatre.
The event takes place in Kiasma Theatre (Fri 30th August) and in Zodiak’s facilities at the Cable Factory (Fri 30th Evening & Sat 31st August).
Participation is free and includes salad buffet on Friday evening and lunch & coffee on Saturday. Booking can be done for the full event or per day.
Please note: The Saturday evening party has to be booked separately in registration. (Co-operation with Performing Hel Showcase).
Particular highlights include:
Friday 30th August – Making a difference via sensuous knowledge: The Artistic Doctoral Space by Vida Midgelow (Middlesex University, UK)
Saturday 31st August – ADiE has invited three artistic doctoral candidates or doctoral artist-researchers from Sweden, Finland and the UK to create a Utopian Manifesto on the future of artistic doctorate.
- Tuomas Laitinen (FI) is addressing the construction of an audience and asking can we, instead of attracting new audiences for artistic research, re-create or redefine the audience itself?
- Rachel Krische (UK) attempts to uncover and give insights to the nature of the artistic research.
- Anne Juren (SE) proposes the body as a place for the Manifesto. She will explore how phantasms of the future could trouble established notions of anatomy.
Plus events such as:
Facilitating Future Doctorates – an Interactive Installation & What did my PhD ‘do’?: The impact of doctoral research
This event is for researchers, artists, candidates, supervisors, university research officers, arts organisations, funders and policymakers. We invite you to come together and debate the future of artistic doctoral education, whilst reflecting on the impact of the Artistic Doctorate within the University as it interfaces with the cultural arts sector and with the public.
