MPECV is an open program that is developed every year depending on the ideas, experiences and proposals of the participants be it students, professors, tutors, coordinators or collaborators. Each course is restructured and rethought although a couple of core structures that organise the work of all implicated persons remain.
In the next academic year, apart from the common calendar of activities of the group, participants will have the opportunity to choose one between two itineraries: 1) Body and democracy 2) Reconstruction, archive and memory.
1. Common modules.
An itinerary for all of the participants of the program, led by Cuqui Jerez with the collaboration of Maria Jerez throughout all of the academic course with the intention to offer tools that contribute to defining the interests and methods of work and at the same time to help reflect on the process of creation. It will take the format of laboratories of experimental practice in both individual and collective sessions. Within this framework we propose a series of strategies for enhancing the process of creation and the reflection about it so that all the the procedures, modes of working and all the knowledge and experience of these processes can be shared with a wider community. Invited artists and researchers for this module are: Chus Dominguez, Carlos Marquerie, Guiliana Padini, Ana Harcha, Ruben Ortiz, Isabel de Naverán, José Antonio Sánchez, Victoria Pérez Royo, Óscar Cornago, Fernando Quesada, Rafael Martínez del Pozo, Esperanza Collado, Emilio Tomé, Rosa Casado, Anto Rodríguez e Idoia Zabaleta.
2. Optional Itineraries:
Expanded Theatricalities. Body and Democracy.
The goal of this itinerary is to create a context in which to develop artistic interdisciplinary projects resulting from the collaboration between people coming from the fields of performance and live arts, social sciences, history and theory of arts and activism. In a series of workshops, seminars and reading groups we will reflect on the questions suggested by this years subject "Body and Democracy", such as: movement and mobilization, choreographic focus on political phenomena and social change; problems of choreography as proceduralism; improvisation as a form of institutional process; performing art spaces and mechanisms of representation; forms of presence, absence and representation of bodies, amongst many others. Invited artists and researchers for this module are: Ivana Muller, Juan Domínguez and Eleonora Fabião among others.
Reconstruction, body and archive.
This second itinerary proposes the appropriation and reconstruction of performing arts pieces of the past, viewing them as catalysts for the beginning of new processes of creation, covering a multitude of questions regarding the body, archive, documentation and memory, amongst others. It is developed through reading sessions, laboratories of experimentation and discussion open to the public. Invited artists and researchers are: Amalia Fernández, Andrea Božic, Olga de Soto, Isabel de Naverán, Idoia Zabaleta among others.
