Location and circumstances

Following a residency for the project Sweet Dreams Are Made (Simone Aughterlony and Isabelle Schad), involving multimedia artist Olivier Heinry and lighting designer Bruno Pocheron, Pact Zollverein Essen offered the two of them the opportunity and the money for initiating and organizing an informal research gathering of artists, designers and technician aimed at a reflection around their individual practices, an exchange of interests, tools and visions, as well as the development of a common language for making interdisciplinary stage work. That was the start of Gangplank.
