I M T O G E T H E R
(2009)
Invited by the Grand Theatre in Groningen, The Netherlands, IM organized a festival based on the idea of collective practices in theatre. Projects, lectures, presentations and performances of/by 12 artists took place during four days in October 2009 at the Grand Theatre.
Choosing a format shifting between a festival, a residency and a week long conference, IM proposed a frame in which she did not only present her own shows but also shows of her colleagues and opened up rehearsals and workshops for interested spectators/participancts: hence revealing working processes, methodologies and different ways of collaborating and divising work.
Artists participating in the project were: Bill Aitchison, Daniel Almgren-Recén, Andrea Bozic, Katja Dreyer, Pedro Inês, Karen Røise Kielland, Bojana Mladenovic, Paz Rojo, Rodrigo Sobarzo, Geert Vaes, Pere Faura and Jefta van Dinther.
Proposition by Ivana Müller in collaboration with Paz Rojo and Inge Koks
Technical director Martin Kaffarnik / Co-ordination Inge Koks
Management Gerco de Vroeg / Co-production I’M’COMPANY and Grand Theatre.
