Performative
practices and notions of performativity are recognized as full-fledged aspects of contemporary art and design. It is in this
perspective that key-actors of the University of Applied Arts Vienna are launching the
Angewandte Performance
Laboratory (APL). The APL is a transversal artistic research and education platform that focusses on the relationship
between the body, perception, and the arts and society in a post-digital context. Its purpose is to serve as an incubator
to promote performance as an artistic medium and as a field of research.
By combining in-house and international
expertise, the APL offers body training practices; digital performance workshops; conferences, symposia, and publications;
master classes and presentations by guest artists; project development; and public presentations.
The APL
supports the diversity of distinctive approaches while facilitating their convergence through interdepartmental collaboration
in:
- Socio-cultural, political, and site-specific interventions;
- Somatic practices, improvisation,
and notation strategies;
- Hybridization and performativity of media and technologies;
- Agency of the living
and non-living;
- Historical and investigative dimensions of performance.
