Description
SIG 8: Facilitating: Inaugural MeetingFacilitating practices in the arts are under-theorized, even though they occur widely, as part of devised theater and the performing and performance arts, and across Fluxus, interactive, relational, community-based and socially engaged art. Facilitating practices in the arts intersect with those in design, pedagogy, art therapy, community organizing and advocacy, and even professional facilitation and coaching, all of which work through multiple, mature methodologies, but unlike facilitating in the arts focus on outcomes.
Contributors to the inaugural convening of the SIG 8: Facilitating share a realization that facilitating asserted itself at a central position in our practices, even before we recognized and named it. There is a rising need to grasp facilitating in the arts methodologically, through its emergent techniques and as a way of knowing, for example by devising laboratories that trace situated and embodied perception, co-creation and articulation. There is interest in locating facilitating as an instigator of institutional imagination by thinking facilitating in conjunction with ethics and agency, and also with vulnerability, joy and communitas.
We are looking forward to spending the morning with each other, sharing our practices, and ending the meeting by co-devising an overview of what is underway, and an outlook of what may come next. The convening is open to all Forum attendees, who may also join into all activations and the concluding exercise.
