Salons
An environment for investigating new practices and languages of making in dance and beyond
How do artists work today? How do they speak about their method? How can one make a start with documenting, discussing and sharing the hybrid and heterogeneous practices that underpin the performing arts today? How can the informal and embodied discourses, as well as the implicit knowledge they carry, find a wider recognition and accessibility? A series of monthly salons, organized by Sarma on different locations in Brussels, create a live research environment for makers and researchers to address issues of new artistic practices and discourses. And they provide the dance community with occasions for dialogue and exchange.

Crash Landing Revisited (and more)An historical and artistic research on improvisation, oral history & sound, catastrophe aesthetics and changing production formats in the nineties.
Crash Landing Revisited (and more) is an ongoing research project that Myriam Van Imschoot is leading since 2007 and that operates as an umbrella structure for collaborative artistic research on improvisation, oral history & sound, and catastrophe aesthetics. It was hosted in residences at Kaaitheater (2007-2008) and in 2009 at the Jan Van Eyck Academy. Its name refers back to the central case study in this project, Crash Landing, an improvisation performance series curated by Meg Stuart, Christine De Smedt and David Hernandez between 1996 and 1999.
