each TUE 17.00 – 20.00
REGISTRATION FOR THE FIELD SESSIONS 2012
starts on MON 13.2. at 9.00
Fieldwork is a process in which a small group of artists meet to show their work in any stage of development, receive feedback from the other participants and practice giving articulate feedback to the others. The structure of Fieldwork has two main elements:
1. The work shown, is done so without any explanation and
2. The feedback given is non directorial and non suggestive.
Therefore, the artist allows their work to stand on its own and is able to hear honest, critical feedback as the other participants only speak to what is shown. Work presented should be under 10 minutes.
Fieldwork is open to dance and theatre artists, musicians, visual artists and writers. Fieldwork is guided by a peer artist who is experienced in the Field method and ensures each artist gets the same amount of time in a supportive atmosphere.
Important practical information:
The session is free and only open to the first 6 participants to sign up, on a first come basis. All participants must be able to commit to the four sessions. Artists should be professionally creating work in their field of art for at least 2 years. Participants who have completed a previous Fieldwork session may register again.

The Field invites a variety of artists in all disciplines and stages to come together locally and internationally under a structured weekly time frame.

Comments from past participants:
“Through fieldwork I got to know a very helpful, clear method to communicate feedback, which allows me to be respectful and still say what I was disturbed by. Fieldwork helps seeing what you are really showing and therefore helps to show what you want to show.” Lina Maria Venegas- Colombia
“Because of fieldwork I needed to work continuously, [and] I started working together with another participant – and we would like to continue that. Plus I enjoyed very much to get to know the other participants and to see how they are working.” Paula Pfoser- Austria
“Listening to other people giving feedback often made me choose my words differently. I liked the high alertness and sometimes even carefulness in the language. What is most challenging to me is to bring a thought to an end, to make a cohesive statement and the workshop certainly gave me more trust in that.”- Malika Fankha -Switzerland
“I feel I finally found a way where I can give and receive feedback without anyone’s feelings getting hurt.”- Magda Chowaniec- Poland
