At the start of this research project in October 2021 we are setting out 5 general research lines to focus our attention on:

  1. How to share a practice? This question is a very general one, however also a very essential one when it comes to lighting design. Lighting designers tend to work alone. They hardly ever share methodologies and struggles amongst each other and in the communication with performers and performances makers there is often a lack of a shared language or focus. Part of this question will be tackled in interactions with students at KASK School of Arts in Ghent (Belgium) and in other institutions. Can we create different sets of exercises that can open up the awareness about the possibilities of light, what light is and what it does?
  2. How can a tool become an instrument?
  3. Non-human agency and performativity
