Tadaaaaaa!
\nCelebrating our 10th birthday
\nWe simply had to do a photo-shoot to announce the date of the 10th birthday celebration of the Experimental Station! Yes, that’s right; we’re rounding an important corner this year and we’d like to ask you to mark your calendars now for Saturday 7 December when we’ll be celebrating! The programme is not in place yet but the date is – and we hope you will help us celebrate this special anniversary. More on this when we get closer.<\/p>\n

Our new employee has been found!

Since last<\/p>\n

Jesper la Cour receives honorary award
\nDuring the annual Wordsfestival (https:\/\/www.wordsfestival.dk\/) in Elsinore, Jesper la Cour (Det Fort\u00e6llende Teater, STORY PLAY) received the festival’s honorary award “for a lifetime of commitment to good stories” (quote from motivation).<\/p>\n

Jesper is also a member of the Fors\u00f8gsstation’s board, where we also benefit from good sparring from Associate Professor Annelis Kuhlmann (AU) and festival director Morten Krogh (CPH STAGE).<\/p>\n

Seasonal experiments tried out in the world
\nAs announced in the press release (link (https:\/\/www.forsoegsstationen.dk\/2019\/05\/21\/forsoeg-arbejdsdemonstration-ord-praksis\/) ), the seasonal experiment “What is an experiment? A working demonstration in words and practice” has been ‘out in the world’ for the past few months. With this working demonstration we want to:<\/p>\n

“…make visible the ‘invisible’ but essential elements of creating professional performing arts. Professional performing arts are an accumulation of invested time, training and persistent artistic experimentation. With this in mind, we have created this working demonstration based on a multi-year experimental project of the same title. It is a study of the stage expression of the actor and the puppet theatre and the fusion of both into a new stage expression. The experiment is inspired by theatre theorist Edward Gordon Craig’s thoughts and ideas about the “ideal” actor, the \u00fcbermarionette, free of strings attached, free of psychology and realism, and inspired by the poetry and symbolic universe of puppetry.” (quote press release)<\/p>\n

The concept behind “The Actor and the \u00dcbermarionette” was presented during a seminar in March at Aalborg University organized with Professor mso Falk Heinrich, Research Laboratory for Art and Technology, AAU and Associate Professor Annelis Kuhlmann, Dramaturgy, AU. Students from both institutions also participated in the workshop based on the work demonstration and discussed artistic research. In addition, a large group of American students from DIS Study Abroad In Scandinavia (https:\/\/disabroad.org\/copenhagen\/) experienced the work demonstration at the Creative Approaches event held at the Experiment Station in April. The full working demonstration has been shown at the conference “On the notion of practice” (https:\/\/www.dansehallerne.dk\/forestilling\/on-the-notion-of-practice\/) led by Dansehallerne d. 9-10 May, which took place here at Fors\u00f8gsstationen for a small invited group of performing artists and during CPH STAGE where it was announced to a wide audience as a free event u
\nduring the festival. In the autumn, the experimental report will be published and we will tell you more about the experience of its creation and the encounter with the public.<\/p>\n

A short film has also been produced in collaboration with Helle Lysh\u00f8j (https:\/\/hellelyshoj.com\/) . It describes how the experiment came about and what the vision is for this dissemination work.
