Master in Performing Arts Practices and Visual Culture

The aim of this program is to open research spaces for artists, theoreticians and performing arts professionals and educators

The MA in Performing Arts Practice and Visual Culture offers a context of practice-based research where to experiment, develop projects and to discuss and question the relationship between theory and practice, as well as to critically reflect on it. It is proposed as a space for artists and researchers who would like to develop new working strategies through collaboration.

With a very broad and expanded conception of the performing arts practices, this MA promotes collaboration and self-organization among participants and proposes tools for the development of methodologies and theoretical critical discourses. It questions, reveals and amplifies the modes in which currently meaning is generated throug a variety of formats such as laboratories, seminars, workshops or reading and discussion groups.

Our transdisciplinary program of study offers the participant the acquisition of specific competences in their respective fields of research and work and facilitates their insertion in the artistic community by explicitely favouring encounters with artists, researchers, curators and other invited professionals.

It constitutes an ideal context for people with experience or education in theatre, dance, performance art, visual arts, music, architecture, art history, cultural studies, cultural management and related areas who wish to engage in practice-based and collaborative research projects.

Art is action = action is production

A project for Tabacalera-Madrid. Ministry of Cuture. 25 to 31 October 2010

« Art is Action », for its third edition, succeeding the habitation of a museum and the occupation of a theater, will be relocated at an ancient fabric in the very centre of Madrid. This old factory will eventually become the National Centre for Visual Arts. The mobile disposition of this project over the past years is a direct symptom of how difficult it is for performance art to exist in the public space: in between and in opposition to the conservative principle of museums and the spectacularity of theaters. Probably, an old factory, not yet into the asepsis nor the amnesia, could constitute a more pertinent location.

« Art is action » is a project prometed by the Ministry of Culture in Spain presenting the work of international artists in the field of Performance and Site-specific Art. First edition in 2008 was curated by Bartolomé Ferrando: who gathered nine artists presenting their work over three days at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. Second edition, took place in 2009, curated by Marcel.lí Antúnez: where seven pieces made by nine artists over three days were presented at the Teatro Valle Inclán in Madrid.

The third edition will take place between the 25th and the 31st of October 2010 at La Tabacalera in Madrid. In this occassion, other institutions participate in the organization: INAEM and Casa Árabe. a joint effort that we are confident in the future will lead to new lines of action in areas increasingly frequented by contemporary artistic practices and that it is impossible to define according to traditional categories, both from the standpoint of art (drama, visual arts, film, usic) and from a geographical or cultura standpoint.

Artistic migrations

Permanent Laboratory of research and artistic practice

In this second phase of the project, which is in process and that will take place over the course of 2010, we suggest to continue exploring artistic research, this time from the point of view of praxis and by means of collaborating with performing artists. On the one hand it is about compiling a wide range of individual conceptions of research, starting from the reflection on the own creative praxis, methodologies, tools and different ways of working. On the other hand we plan a series of encounters between artists in which they share their working processes with each other and with an interested audience.
