Workshop by Citizen Kane Kollektiv (Bio under Participating Artists):
Collective or Collision?
Opportunities and risks of collective ways of working for theatre.
Hierarchies are immanent in everyday life and work. An officer gives an order, a teacher gives homework, a director gives instructions. Often theatres are organised according to similar hierarchies as companies. But to what extent do such hierarchical structures harm creativity?
In the workshop Collective or Collision? The Citizen.KANE.Kollektiv explores the topic of collective working processes together with the participants. For almost 10 years, the artists have been trying out different mechanisms to create a safe space and trying out different utopian ideas of working without hierarchies.
First, the collective wants to present different structures of collective work: Starting with basic, organisational means, to own, artistic forms such as own approaches to participating forms of theatre, the possibilities of theatre in public space, to the use of artificial intelligence, for example when processing applications or emails.
Afterwards, our focus will be on actively exchanging ideas and hands-on practices with the participants. This interactive session will provide a practical platform for sharing experiences, enabling us to learn from each other’s approaches and enhance our collective knowledge.
So, what’s in store for us? Collective or collision?
