Inhalte | This workshop responds to challenges of dramaturgy as practiced within and in relation to (art) institutions. Institutional dramaturgy is here conceived of as the work on institutional actions - be it in theatres, universities, hospitals or other social institutions. The workshop relates to the conference’s central figure of thought, the obscene, by focussing on dramaturgy as a set of ‘off-stage practices’, that seek to complexify hidden structural and ideological processes within, and often at the backside of, the organisational operation. Institutional structures shelter and stabilise social relations, while also creating exclusive environments. Their practitioners need to ask: What are we protecting? How much stability is required in order to be able to provide support? Can we risk to lose some control? European performing arts institutions have long been invested in the production of strong critical political and social interventions through the artistic contents presented on their various stages. It’s only recently however, that they have (hesitantly) started to attend to the many ‘blind spots’ of working realities within the performing arts field (such as unpaid labour, sexism, the reproduction of white privilege, etcetera). Informed by experiences of working dramaturgically with(in) institutions, the workshop will make room for a shared reflection on institutional realities, necessities and (conflicting) desires, and consider a shift in institutional attitudes, based on a politics of listening and collaboration as mutual contamination. Can we perform reparative work and intervene in self-involved institutional attitudes that fail to support and that produce toxic atmospheres? Can we enable institutions to open their pores; to be changed by the encounters they habitually host and by experiences from “out there”? With the help of selected thinkers and example cases, we will look at questions and possibleprinciples of institutional dramaturgy. Through an exercise of generous listening and opening-up, we want to identify different lacks and desires experienced inside and outside institutions. The workshop will offer reflection on why and under what conditions it might be healthy to invite contamination, how institutional dramaturgies can perform such daring intervention, and what kind of attitudes are important for it. |
