Wednesday seminar: Documentation of research project with Sacks and Ancker

This seminar is part of the Wednesday seminar series this spring “Processes of Documentation”, where we explore a wide range of processes of documentation emerging within the field of artistic research. Here you can learn more about the series and discover upcoming seminars!

Stina Ancker, Professor in Opera, will present some ideas and examples from the opera laboratory When Does the Singer become an Artist?

Stina will also share her thoughts revolving around the search for a singing acting that is truly musical and the possibility of reclaiming the operatic.

Stacey Sacks, Professor in Acting: 

Always playing with thinging-  making not knowing – Sacks’ performing essay for this WRS is currently called: 

what is a joker without a joke or 
donkey normal times 
or it's a shit show 

Searching for what asemic clowning may be, dr. NuTT emerges as a space/body/state to retreat to, a soft strategy for hard times, a mask to inhabit a short while. As doctor of ARS (Latin: ART), dr. NutT offers a performing essay in the form of a pontifuckation of the moment that presents itself. He will reveal his circus of plastic cocks, read a shit poem, and perhaps sing a song or prayer.

Mostly, the room will encounter dr. nUtt’s attempt to cope with the techno-geo-political-hellscape our species currently finds itself in. And likely failing terribly.
