Project:About

Gangplank is a fluid network of artists, technicians, designers and theoreticians working in the field of performance, active since 2009. The project focuses on all the elements involved in stage work and how they relate, both on a conceptual and practical level. Gangplank organizes regular meetings and collective work sessions in venues in Europe over periods ranging between one and three weeks. The meetings are oriented along several axis: definition of collaboration, inter-media communication and relations between technology and art, programing of free software tools for live performance, knowledge transmission in a non-hierarchical and trans-disciplinary way, discussion of our practices and the related theoretical backgrounds, documentation and publication of the outcome of the meetings. Each of these axis is equally important to us and we aim for working as much as possible on all of them in each Gangplank session.
