~ Here at Feelers, we’ve been thinking a lot about our roles and relations to one another and to our artists in the Labs projects, as well as the processes we’re supporting (and in my case, also observing). These thoughts are driven by questions such as: how do we document the slow process of experimentation? How can we capture the social, emotional, virtual and immaterial aspects, and reflect on the process of creation and dialogue between the artist, the work, and their audiences? For me, it always begins from a subjective position. This page is approached from that perspective as an observer of the process that the team of
voices in a room embarked on over the tulmutuous past months.
It's been a long journey for the
voices team, and I've decided to use their post-mortem conversation as a base to anchor their documentation page. Repeated throughout was the question of "how to work together?" – arguably the core focus of the project, beyond the production of a final performance. Woven into this conversation are materials that were collected throughout the process – telegram chats, pictures, reference materials, notes, wip boards, devising videos, rehearsal footage – that together culmulatively attempt to build a larger picture (necessarily subjective and incomplete) of how six individuals came together to rehearse and to dream of a collective future together~
