RELAY by RELAY ARTicle

RELAY is a three-year EU-funded research project supported by the ERASMUS+ programme „Cooperation Partnerships" that focuses on developing the artistic and educational fields of choreography, dance and music. The concept that gave our project its name – RELAY – is based on deep trust in the transiting and transmissive foundation of both artistic production and knowledge development. RELAY underscores a fluid and processual element in the intersection of art and education. Not only does the actual production and development of knowledge and artworks depend on collective – and therefore transmissive – efforts, but the future life of those productions depends on how they are shared. For example, a dance technique only lives through those who practice it. A piece of music is passed on (through ear, instrument technology, or score) between practitioners, producers, and listeners. Every hand-over gives the possibility for development, re-iterations, and productive misunderstandings. The exposition here gathers the findings, reflections and insights into the principles and methods of RELAY as well as obstacles, hiccups and (creative) failures as a work-in-progress. The exhibition is currently being developed and has not been officially published yet.

Welcome to the RELAY ARTicle!

This is a growing exhibition born out of the context of the artistic research project “RELAY – Thinking Artistic Material in Music and Dance”. It shares artistic practices, pedagogical activities, documents and documentations of the process, writings, scores, methods, practical tools as well as personal recollections by and about the practitioners involved in the project.

This ARTicle reveals connections that have enabled inspiration and knowledge to flow between places, people and times around our research on innovative forms of collaboration, dynamic ownership and leadership. The results hold potential to be adopted in individual and institutional patterns of organization and action, promoting to share knowledge, skills and inspiration.

The availability of non-linear movements invites you to explore the material and information and locate them in multi-dimensional connections.

In the ToolCloud you can access scores, principles and working methods that form the foundations of our enquiry.

Practical Info: You can zoom in and out of the pages by controlling your screen with the shortcut keys Ctrl + +/- (Windows) or Option + ⌘ Command + 8 (Mac).
