hive: a support structure for eco-social learning
When TAAT was founded in 2012, the goal was to explore a relatively new field between theatre and architecture. This resulted in a longstanding series of collaborations and encounters. This was not only based on a desire to work collectively and to bring in different kinds of expertise to enrich the process, it was foremost a way of creating environments where everybody could learn from each other, ourselves included. Throughout the pandemic, we started questioning how art practices keep on exploiting the planet’s ecosystems, and thereby also the human and more-than-human inhabitants: both physically, mentally, spiritually. We committed to changing our relationship to the interconnected and interdependent beings within and around us, and to finding ways towards balanced, reciprocal cohabitation. More than a decade later TAAT is a growing ecosystem of about 10 artists, 10 different human beings, with (at least) 10 different ways of sensing, doing, thinking. We are learning, trying, experimenting,…. And hive is our invitation to join us.
the invitation
hive is a hybrid learning cycle on eco-social cocreation. Based on TAAT’s ’ecology of practice’, it offers a 9-month program to learn from and with the different TAAT-artists, sharing diverse perspectives from architecture, arts, crafts, design and theatre. It’s also an opportunity to connect with a wide range of international creatives, environmentalists, and scholars a.o. in exploring different approaches, methodologies and knowledge systems.
hive is a series of bi-monthly sessions, that happen primarily online (on TAAT’s Live Agora), but with a strong focus on situated, embodied and relational learning. Individual sessions will be hosted by one or two TAAT-members, addressing topics such as Gesturing, Collective Resilience, Hydrological Devising, Embodied Craft, Internal Body Archiving, Soft Fascinations and Curational Systems Thinking. As an educational program it proposes a variety of site-specific working practices, co-creational environments and methodologies of care.
The hive 9-month learning cycle begins in September 2026 and ends in June 2027. It includes 2 activations per month covering the basic trajectory of an artistic process: Approaching, Engaging, Reflecting, Archiving. There will be 18 sessions, including an introductory session as well as a public presentation at the end. The sessions are 2-3 hours, taking place on Saturday (morning, and/or afternoon) and will be guided by 10 different facilitators. The number of participants is limited to 25.
