Created in 2016 as part of the Festival TransAmériques (FTA) in Montreal, the Dramaturgical Clinics project is an approach that aims to develop an open platform and strengthen links with local artistic practices. The Dramaturgical Clinics offer creators of the performing arts - choreographers, authors, directors and performers - a space for support and exchange. In parallel with Festival programming, they encourage encounters between guest playwrights and local artists. This project aims to forge innovative links and encourage reflection on dramaturgical practices that are at once reflective, avant-garde and daring.
La Bâtie is delighted to be able to carry out this project in Geneva, in collaboration with the FTA and Julie Gilbert, who is helping to set up a group of invited Swiss and international playwrights. During their stay, they will attend performances, take part in daily meetings and participate in public activities: round table discussions, discussions with young artists resident at l'Abri, as well as a participatory dialogue orchestrated by Anne-Laure Sahy, head of the AVDC (Association Vaudoise de Danse Contemporaine) and creator of “Dramaturgie, Danse, Dialogue”.
Above all, they will be offering free dramaturgical consultations to Geneva artists. These individual meetings, open to all (registration required), enable participants to deepen their research and overcome the challenges of their creative processes. The Dramaturgical Clinics of Geneva are designed to provide practical support to the local artistic community.
The Dramaturgical Clinics of La Bâtie will take place from September 4 to 10, with the support of the Swiss Arts Council - Pro Helvetia and the Fluxum Foundation.
Registration for dramaturgic consultations will open on August 12. For further information, please write to: prisca.harsch@batie.ch
