The Theme for 2013:Bark.

Bark is much more than the outermost layers of wooden plants.. Bark is the basic for many products including spices, latex, cork, medicine and hallucinatory chemicals. Bark is food. Canoes, cloth, ropes, roof covering, papers are made from bark. Bark has a unique surface, is a distinctive mark of trees, a microcosmos for insects, lichen and birds.
Bark is inner bark and outer bark. Bark includes dead and living tissue.
Bark is a nontechnical term.

There are no limits to the artistic interpretations and treatment of the subject.

Workshop Philosophy

In each of the parallel 10-day workshops two opposing art forms or cultural spheres will meet. We will, from a given theme, seek and study both concrete and abstract interactions in two given separate fields. The chosen theme will reflect the mystic Nordic nature surrounding the village of Lillhärdal.

 

 

• During the first part of the workshop (day 1-4), each art form will work out their own reflexions to a given subject.
• Thereafter in the second part, the results arrived at in two separate parallel workshops will converge and will, in small working groups, be developed jointly. The aim being that a person taking part in a performing arts workshop will seek parallels with another person taking part in a non-performing arts workshop and jointly seek inspiration and manifest artistic expressions and forms. From this exercise a new form of understanding might emerge with new aesthetic viewpoints that at a first glance were perhaps completely separate.

We will not, as at other Summer Academies, hold workshops on specific separate subjects, but strive in the workshop work to find mutual or parallel aspects in what is normally seen as two separate art forms. By challenging artistic development in separate genres, the workshops will seek to articulate shared expressions and positions as well as point out differencies, boundaries and discrepancies.
