Graduate proposal guidelines > *making a proposal for yourself, scope and content, methods and formats. Short, precise, practical outline.

Marloes' questions:

*Why do you want to make it?

I consider improvisation as a domain where habitual behavior and social contracts are questioned/challenged, their liminalities explored. The aspect of "hacking the human mind/the human intelligence", finding strategies that overcome habitual behavior /indoctrination, systems that produce us/, enhancing sensibility, exploring subconscious modes of operation as a proposition, opening up options to each one of us, and the way we are intrinsically intertwined.

*What do you want to make?

Does it have to be ONE thing that I make? How does this work? How interdisciplinary am i allowed to be? ... Rather than making one work, i want to make a myriad, mutually informing each other, linked to theory (testing out theoretical claims in practice, with others).

I want to facilitate workshops and other forms of interactive situations (such as sound walks), or this and this, continue performing (alone and with others) in the field of sound improvisation; write and compose (scripts/compositions/exercises for humans in flow), build machines that help me think this one for example, and theoretically research the field of my interest: the friction between structure/form/composition/systems and improvisation/flow/subconscious.

A system for a structuralization/archivation of my research and practice will also be constructed "on the go", its final form will most possibly be a website.

*How do you plan to make it?

Here is a list of my research strategies.

*What is your timetable?

Practice and research simultaneous. Weekly overviews of the work made. Daily arrangement of thoughts. Prototyping continuous.

*Who can help you and how?

Collaborators, partners in communication, theoreticians and practitioners, tutors and classmates and friends and random encounters, meaningful debates.

*Relation to previous practice

Obvious and full. hehe.

*Relation to a larger context

See: why, and see references. &spell out the links.

*References/bibliography

See a list of references here, and my research log here.

/////// Homework: which five works/texts/... are key to your research? + annotations.
