Research

Which are the questions and things that are at stake in my research?

• Understanding community relationships: and reconsidering the value of being together, focus on empathy, needs and responsibilities,
• My urgency is the necessity of considering practices of collaboration as hard work to do together through long term and face-to face relationships,
• Relationships in communities that requires patience and practice,
• Co-operation is a practice that ask to look at responsibilities toward others and needs of community,
• Which directions are there to help us building communities? (the law, institutions, the net..)
• How can we build within those pre-defined directions, spaces for sociality, diversity, empathy and relationships founded on mutual trust?
• Co-operation as both a practice of unknown results and a ritual of committment
• Contemporary scarcity of face to face relationships,
• Which existent practices do I know that challenges parameters of being together?

Future

Working on a workshop / theatre piece about negotiating together the terms of the plot and the end of the stories. The actors have multiple options in completing their scripts. The actors chooses directions from the options of the scripts and tries to act it out in the scene. The four chapters are inspired by existing situations recorded by the Autonomous Archive’s documents from the Poortgebouw.
