Prague Quadrennial 2019 - PQ Talks

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

PQ Talks was conceived as a platform to discuss, question, provoke, theorize, acknowledge, and celebrate the creative, intellectual, and cultural riches that scenography brings to our world. An open call for proposals invited speakers to address what scenography globally and in its broadest sense is, has been and could be. Selected proposals from the overwhelming response were arranged into thematic days and half-days and in a variety of formats: panels, talk series, roundtable discussions, and Flashtalks (10-minute interventions on a range of projects and ideas). The space dedicated to PQ Talks (designed by Petr Bakoš in Pavillion E) helped create a lively atmosphere and a responsive community that enjoyed sharing and debating ideas and views. Three important factors that contributed to the success: architectonic arrangement of space with a large projection screen and sound equipment; democratic and informal framing of the presentations; and, the use of international English that facilitated communication from and for participants whose first language was other than English. The result was a truly global forum with participants covering tens of countries. Our distinguished keynote speakers were outstanding representatives of different scenographic disciplines: Stefano Poda (IT), an opera director and scenographer; Olivia Lomenech Gill (UK), a book illustrator and printmaker; the international team of artists and curators for 36Q°, who reflected on the porous borders between the physical and digital worlds. In collaboration with the Goethe-Institut in Prague and Theater der Zeit Publishers, PQ Talks hosted theatre visionaries: scenographers Bettina Meyer (DE) and Annette Kurz (DE), and theatre director Luk Perceval (BE). The winner of the PQ Best Publication award, Donatella Barbieri (UK) with her collaborator Melissa Trimmingham (UK) gave a presentation on their book Costume in Performance: Materiality, Culture, and the Body (2017). The main body of PQ Talks consisted not only of proposals secured through the open call but also of presentations and invitations offered by professional organizations (IFTR, Tanec Praha, Theatrum Mundi, UNIMA, UK Theatre & Performance Design Education Network); publishing houses and journals specialising in scenography (Czech Arts and Theatre Institutes, Slovak Theatre Institute, Theater der Zeit, Routledge, Methuen Drama, Journal in Costume and Performance, Theatre and Performance Design journal); and research projects. Additionally, Rosane Muniz (BR) moderated a discussion on international curatorial practices between Jochen Volz (DE/BR), Kate Bailey (UK), and Markéta Fantová (CZ/USA). We also hosted discussion panels of international “legends” of scenography and performance design represented in Fragments, and of the PQ 2019 International Team of curators. Scenography is a crucially collaborative and complex practice and an arena of different professions, disciplines, art forms and discourses. The thematic block Historiographies, Theories, and Collaborations contained two panel discussions, organized and moderated by José Luis Ferrera (ES) and by Pavlo Bossy (UA/CA), and a thematic series. Collaboration in Scenography consisted of two discussion panels (organized and moderated by Simona Rybáková, CZ, and by Taylor Black, US). A full day was dedicated to Costume as an area of growing critical attention, with panels organized by Rachel Hann (UK), by Sofia Pantouvaki (GR/FI), and by Rosane Muniz (BR). Scenography and Politics grouped proposals on the political dimension of arts, with panels convened by Rosane Muniz (BR), Bibiana Puigdefàbregas (CT), Rachel Hann (UK) and Paul Cegys (CA). New Media was split in two days, connected past interplays between scenography and most advanced technologies, convened by Christopher Baugh (UK) and Cat Fergusson (UK). A crucial aspect of discussing what scenography is and could be considers pedagogical strategies: Pedagogy included two major discussion panels, organized and moderated by Daniela Portillo (CL) and by Joslin McKinney (UK). Other thematic blocks with truly international contributions were Scenography of Sound and Scenography Across Art Forms, which contained several panels, one by the Ephemera Collective, one on theatre photography, organized and convened by Amy Skinner (UK), and another on comics, organized and convened by Anna Wołosz-Sosnowska (PL). The crossovers between Scenography, Architecture, and Urban Space were explored in a dedicated thematic section with one session of papers and three panel discussions, organized and moderated by Theatrum Mundi (UK), by Kristen Morgan and Anya Sokolovskaya (USA), and a moderated conversation on Heterotopia, a visionary project of variable performance space by Sebastian Hannak; the discussion was joined by director Florian Lutz (both DE). The thematic block on Expanding Scenography reflected the recent practices of scenography well beyond the limits of a theatre production. Similarly, Transforming Scenography embodied one of PQ Talks’ aims: to envision and dream about what scenography could be in the future. Our final thematic block explored Scenography and Memory with presentations ranging from Chile, Australia, Thailand, Japan, to USA.
