All The Rivers

All the Rivers is a series of involved artistic exchange, in form of workshops and Flash-residencies.

Open to any medium and discipline within arts, stage tech, and the community around them, All the Rivers is focused on the transformative power of exchange and cooperation/collaboration within and between arts, artists, community, society and their peripheries. We see a sharing of skills, knowledge, insight and creative process as a mutual spiral of growth, and are looking for an active, aware practice of exchange, involvement and commitment, in an informed and inclusive mindset and effort.

Creativity is formed in constant dialogue of learning and teaching, of voicing and listening. in both workshops and residencies, artists and workshop leaders invite the participants for either or both.

The series offers workshops on a wide range of topics, from inclusive, aware and accessible production and creation, technical skills, inspiring practices and involved creation. Information about the workshops you find below this text.

As part of All The Rivers there are 5 Flash Residencies, short, production-orientated residencies followed by a public showing. They aim to offer public participation - in any form and medium, from performing arts to visual arts, sound or installations, aiming to reach out and enter into dialogue with the audience and community as part of the artistic process and its performance.

The jury members Nuray Demir, Katharina Ludwig and Ece Tufan selected 5 groups of artists from 78 submitted proposals. We are happy to announce

We are three queer, late-identified autistic artists. Our life post-identification is a perpetual re-definition of our identities and the space they take in society. Our lived experiences, our minds and our bodies are the roots of our experimentations and creations.

To have better chances in society as autistics, we are compelled to mask. Our masks have different manifestations, scopes and consequences which we will explore through structures of glass that can protect, conceal, mirror or reveal. These structures exist in a dialogue between movement and stillness, sound and silence. When should we conform to feel safe? Or take the risk to truly belong?

On stage, we decide to take the risk. What does the public see? Is it a mask or who we really are? Is it the sum of all the projections of our society?

During our residency, we will explore our relationship with a restraining social environment and underline the lack of spaces in which we can truly feel safe. We will shed light on our differences, the impossibility to truly belong and the thin thread that binds us to a world dictating what we are granted or denied.

Naia brings a rich dance and choreography experience, gathered from years of career in Venezuela, Spain and Germany. Additionally to her poetic and visual colorful universe, Cocomoino brings the rawness of a new performer. Samantha, a transdisciplinary artist experiencing synesthesia, engineers worlds and creatures made of glass around them.

Our collective, the 8th place, was born upon the realization that our combined perceptions, audiences and variety of crafts could be united for larger scale results in our mission of adding to the sorely lacking FLINTA* autistic representation. Relatable experiences are often the first step of an identification journey that could lead to information, culture, community and care. We are proud of opening well-needed conversations among non-autistic and intersectional feminist allies, and of affirming that marginalized and disabled artists deserve autonomy, paid working opportunities and accessible working environments.
