Online-Event: Work it Out

Work it Out is the name choreographer and cultural manager Lea Moro (Zurich/Berlin) has given the platform she co-initiated for the artistic mediation of dance and performance projects. Nourished by the experience of the lockdown following the pandemic in spring 2020, and driven by Rebecca Solnit's thesis of 'wild possibilities', which suggests alternative options for action in uncertain times, Work it Out is a hybrid, nomadic format that exists in both physical and digital spaces. It creates space for encounters and exchange and establishes the sharing of knowledge and resources and the strategy of '(un)learning' as necessary methods for joint reflection on the future in times of crisis. In the frame of LE FOYER – IN PROCESS, Lea Moro will discuss the possibilities of negotiating social issues across borders and disciplines together with project partners from the Reconnect Online Performance Festival (IR/USA) and the Argentinean platform LODO – and ask how we, in the context of artistic mediation, can learn from and with one another.

Reconnect Online Performance Festival (IR/USA) is a platform and festival founded by Iranian theatre collectives NH Theatre Agency, Ctrl+Z Theatre Group and Bohemian Theatre Group in response to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Its ongoing online activities include workshops and talks and the first edition of the festival took place from March 25 to April 17, 2020. The second edition is planned for March 2021.
