14:00 - 15:30 - Participatory and Immersive Creation working group - Activating communities through immersive and participatory practices
 

Organisation: IETM PIC working group
Address: CLB Berlin, Aufbau Haus at Moritzplatz, Prinzenstraße 84.2, 10969 Berlin-Kreuzberg| Event Map
Meeting point: The main entrance to the event room (with the large window) is located on the right side of Aufbau Haus on the ground floor – directly accessible from the sidewalk on Oranienstrasse.

IETM working groups are led by members and provide a space to tackle issues important to the network.

This interactive session facilitated by the Participatory and Immersive Creation group (PIC) will explore ways for countering divisiveness within our communities through participatory and immersive artistic engagements. Through small group work, participants will have the opportunity to develop their own ideas that build bridges between different communities, and to test them out.

You can find more information about the PIC working group here.

The Participatory and Immersive Creation group (PIC) aims to provide a space for IETM members to tackle central issues we have in creating, presenting and producing this genre of work, through open discussions, experience sharing and creative exchange.

Facilitators: 
Matteo Lanfranchi, Effetto Larsen, Italy
Isadora Bigazzi, Effetto Larsen, Italy
Simón Adinia Hanukai, Kaimera Productions, France

Organisation: tak
Address: tak Village, tak Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg, Prinzenstraße 85 F, 10969 Berlin | Event Map

Meeting point: From the bus stop or from the U-Bahn Moritzplatz, go towards the entrance of Modulor (big shop and sign). Facing it, turn right and directly left and walk through the opening of the building. A few steps into the courtyard you find stairs going down and signs to the Village on your left.

tak (Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg im Aufbau Haus) will talk about their unique organisation and operating model - which involves practising artists in a collective rotating system - both its possibilities and difficulties.

tak is a collectively run independent theatre house in Berlin Kreuzberg, open to Berlin-based as well as national and international artists and companies. The collectively developed programme includes work created by the collective management - a group of about 15 diverse artists and cultural managers - as well as cooperation projects with partners who have arrived to live and work in Berlin from all over the world, and visiting productions from inside and outside Germany. A focus lies on artists in exile and artists who are Roma or Sinti. tak is also a production venue for emerging artists, community work and supports experimental formats and artistic try-outs.

Organisation: HAU Hebbel am Ufer
Address: HAU1, Stresemannstraße 29, 10963 Berlin | Event Map

The digital stage HAU4 is a platform for the connection between performances & technology and gaming culture. The programme is presented both online and on the theatre stages. On 15 May, HAU will present outstanding HAU4 artists. The audience has the opportunity to immerse themselves in hybrid performances, interactive XR experiments and various game worlds. At the centre is the question of how an artistic perspective can be productive in dealing with social change, in which commercial technology and authoritarian politics are becoming increasingly intertwined. There will be an opportunity to engage in dialogue with the artists.

Artists:

allapopp, Anan Fries, Choy Ka Fai, Interrobang, Janne Kummer, Keiken, Lena Biresch, machina eX, onlinetheater.live, Patrick Blenkarn & Milton Lim and Theresa Reiwer.

Moderation by: 
Sarah Reimann - HAU Hebbel am Ufer

Please note that the „HAU Digital Art Showcase“ is running from 3pm to 10pm. You are welcome to stay longer or join earlier than the indicated two hours to enjoy the Showcase at your own pace.
