How many failures are artists allowed to make in the arts industry? Will the corona pandemic make the room for artistic failure smaller?

How does the concept of failure resonates with and affects children and youths? How can the performing arts field challenge and experiment with the topic of failure towards a young audience?

In this online workshop, the three artists attending PUH+ Failure lab in Belgium willengage participants to work with failure as a topic for a young audience and as a creative process for artists.

 

In September 2019 the Norwegian performing artists Martijn Dirk Joling, Hediyeh Azma and Ingvild Lien participated in the Push+  Failure Lab in Belgium together with some twenty other performing artists from all over Europe. Here they investigated on a more philosophical level how failure is related to success as a positive norm in society. What is failure compared to success, who decides on that, what does failure mean on a personal and social level? What if failure turns out to be as positive as success? Ingvild Lien also went on to further explore failure in an Artist’s residency in Ireland in 2020, where she collaborated with Christine Veerheyden from Belgium.

 

In the workshop Hediyeh, Martijn and Ingvild would like to share their thoughts and experiences on this topic, and also engage you in a talk about failure as a topic for a young audience and as a creative process for artists in this digital version of their workshop.
