[Marlon Barrios Solano]

F.I.A – 2009/2010 From October 12th 2009 till March 26th 2010 A transdisciplinary artistic investigation deeply rooted in the Studies of the Body.

A period of 6 months dedicated to a practical daily work which promotes the arising of essential questions brought by each individual in her/his own investigation. This daily work includes reflexion and discussion. Through it the proposals developed by each creator will come to form allowing a growing understanding and a profound knowledge of the matter under investigation.
F.I.A is organized in blocs of 3 weeks of practical work focusing on the Body (sensation, perception, movement, relation) tangled with short term proposals from two days to one week long.

All the work is guided by professionals from different artistic and scientific backgrounds (dance, writing, video, sound art, philosophy, anthropology, biology, body theory). At the same time each person is individually coached, having regular dialogues with the tutors and producing weekly papers that are presented to the collective for feedback. During these six months of practical work each creator should find the ways that better suit him in the process of sharing with others the questions of his current investigation. The final public communication will assume the form that each creator considers adequate as an exercise fitted to the matter of study.

NOTE TO APPLICANTS: info received from Paula Petreca - a member of Rede Sudamericana de Danza who says: "We´re looking forward to improve the European influx among our students/research because the intercultural exchange we've already established with Spain and Latin American has been motivating us to spread our relationships."
