Educational activities

MUS-EUnderlined Text

Sinds 2011 FoAM Brussels in collaboration with and supported by MUS-E Belgium started a long term project under the theme of Art in the Kitchen (Kunst in de Keuken). Art in the Kitchen is an Art-in-School programme, where professional artists work around the topic of cooking, kitchen and food in connection to art and science. The habits of eating, the culture of food, the similarities and differences depending on cultural backgrounds are in the centre of attention. The kitchen and kitchen related objects and ingredients become a starting point for children to operate in a creative way, get to know each other and work together towards a delicious result. The multiple ways of collaborating, looking and listening at each others works opens different ways to perceive surroundings trough critical thinking yet it remains an affectionate and playful process.

The aim of the workshops is to raise awareness about food culture, taste the unexpected, look beyond the understandable and play with what you can find in the kitchen, fridge or vegetable lot of your garden. Combining various artistic practices it’s an involving way to explore creative possibilities, challenge your self and create eye satisfying works. Using food as an inspiration these workshops are a great way to discover new experiences.

Collaborations

Oracle

Oracle is an eyes-closed body-voice improvisation practice, created by Justine Maxelon, Michel Yang and Caroline Daish. This practice interacts with diverse surroundings through spontaneous sound and movement composition and expands the boundaries between individual emotional expressions and shared public, in a communal setting.
 The name Oracle was chosen as it bridges an expansive notion of voice and ineffability. The name, Oracle, encompasses agency, ambiguity, obscurity, divinity, communication, medium, utterance and wisdom. Each performer came to practice with own specific motivations and urgencies: spatial sound and empathy, care-art practices, performance in public spaces and a healing vocal practice for a lung disease. The aim of the practice to test and analyse it not only as a performance form but also as a multiple tool for creating communities and practitioners, applying it in different social context with a strong accent on care and sharing.

Often when performance touches on or explicitly shows a personal inner journey without trying to fit in an acceptable aesthetic frame, performers run a risk of being misunderstood, judged or dismissed. Care, self-care and sharing emotions often are ignored and transformed into artificial challenge, pretence acting and hiding behind the form. Is there a place and value for a performance practice expressing interiority in contemporary art culture?

Nelle Hens Ont-Moet and Nobody

Ont-moet is a Dutch word game in which lays a fundamental shift: Ontmoeten means ‘to meet’. When you split the word in two, it becomes ‘not having to’.

How not to just show anything, but rather share the embodied. Nelle Hens is creating a platform to offer dance, to reach people and inspire self-reflection. The aim is build a safe environment for surrender, to create a potential mystical experience of a moment. A meeting where you can meet, interconnect and become bigger than yourself.

Nobody is 1 on 1 ritualistic meeting in the hotel room. Two rooms, two members of public, two dancers. Each dancers shares “Ont-Moet” experience and gives dance to a person present. Not dancing “for” but letting to be observed, sharing uncomfortable silences, vocalising inner movement. From dancer to dancer, from the body to the movement, from form to the collective energy.

Stav Yeini The Senders

Interdisciplinary installation that amplifies and extends the range of human senses and sensitivities “We wait in the future for your past to intersect our present and catalyse all existence to a new octave, the highest octave of being. It is our great pleasure to have your assistance in this process.” The pleiades.

Coming from dance and choreography Stav Yeini (P.A.R.T.S (BE)) is gradually rethinking performance by cultivating multi-sensorial spaces that allow and encourage the physical participation of the visitors. Starting from the visual layer in 'performative spaces' and as the work develops through time covering more and more senses and expressions such as visual art, sound, alchemy and technology.
