Topics to investigate
• Examine different definitions/instances of choreography and performance – which ones suck and which ones kick ass. Opportunity here to create a way of speaking about them, and utilise the opportunity of the highly conventional format of the newspaper to explore them.
• Politics of dance and performance.
• Architecture of dance and performance, what spaces does dance/choreography inhabit and what relationships/politics are produced?
• The creation of a different (or ideal) culture surrounding dance? Utopia.
• Institutional changes, what role do institutions play in dance and performance at the moment?
• What role does self-organisation play in dance at the moment? What role could it play?
• Proposal for a new type of festival.
• Investigating succinct modes of written material about dance and performance.
• Create a publication that has different influences and criteria for writing about dance – commercial, visual arts, philosophy, fashion, design, architecture, music, corporate world, marketing, technology, economy
• Create a publication that takes different elements from existing and conventional publications.
• Ways to use new technologies to create written material about dance and the festival
• Ways to use new technologies to interact with potential readers and participants in festival
• Define our relationship with Impulstanz; we are uninvited. How does this enable us to act and write differently?
• Manifesto’s – do we feel the need for them? If so, about what? And what effect could this produce? Is there a place in this project to elicit others to write them?
• How to elevate the participants in the jazz dance workshops above the existing big name dominating individuals. Forcing them to sharpen their arguments for dance and performance, bringing up the competition of the field. Investigating in and out, without overtly talking about it.
• How to create a new community as opposed to reinforcing the existing.
• How does this publication lie in the history of publications?
• What does it mean to be impolite? And be responsibly irresponsible and unsupportive.
• How can we explore freedom of speech in this highly produced environment? During a festival such as Impulstanz, and in other dance environments, the behaviour is highly regulated. Participants obey invisible rules (or codes) that are defined by non-practitioners i.e. festival organisers.
• Professional, unprofessional, what is the profession?
• Obedience, articulation, accessibility. Are they connected.
• Mythology
• Ground zero – if there was no field, what could it look like? Post-war arts communities.
• How can this publication point towards/illuminate other factors/entities/interests which perhaps have more relevance/interest to us who are participants in the field.
• How can we involve INPEX and other practitioners to contribute? Through which frames can this communication take place to produce content that easily feeds into the publication?
Image/Visualisation
• What are the existing modes of visualisation for dance?
• How could dance and performance use images differently for marketing and publicity purposes
• What images can we create and promote? What can we say no to?
• What tools or interfaces can we use to collect and produce images to use?
Spaces to explore
• Workshop zone
• Lounge/party zone
• Lunch and eating zones
• Places to witness informal meetings
• Foyer and post performance zones
• Transport zones (trams)
Distribution strategies
• Who should do it?
• Where should it be distributed?
• Should a protocol be developed for this?
Topics to research
• Art publications
• Interview techniques
• Design opportunities
• Daily scheduling and distribution of activities
Technical elements
• Potential for alternate online as well as paper publication
• Interaction via FB
• Advertising
Name
• Dude
• The Inpex
