Midi du festival — A MULTIDISCIPLINARY workshop for tomorrow’s creation

By reserving time for creation, rethinking artistic collaborations and reinventing the exercise of concert-giving, the Multidisciplinary Residency explores a new relationship to performance. Developed by the Académie du Festival d'Aix, the programme creates an unprecedented space in which performers, curators, stage directors, choreographers, composers, dramaturges and performing artists can meet and discuss. Centred around ‘the voice’ – a profoundly multidisciplinary theme that also resonates with the Festival's programme – the Multidisciplinary Residency is a valuable time for reflection and a true laboratory for contemporary creation. What place do we give to collective creation today? What needs to be transformed or reinvented in the relationship between artists and audiences? What role do cultural institutions play in inventing new forms of performance?

WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF: Piersandra di Matteo (mentor artist - Multidisciplinary Residency), Claron McFadden (guest artist - Multidisciplinary Residency), Bronwyn Lace (visual artist - The Center for the Less Good Idea), Neo Muyanga (composer and installation artist - The Center for the Less Good Idea) and Paul Briottet (deputy director - Académie du Festival d’Aix).
