Nomadic Residencies
LA SERRE – arts vivants offers a mobile residency program that allows a cohort of artists, creators, playwrights, researchers, cultural workers, and activists to take advantage of a multimodal conversation space within which they can test new ideas while evolving in an environment that facilitates interdisciplinary friction. This interstitial circulation space offers an open zone, a field to invest to rejuvenate your practise, to share what falls off, to grow on fallow, to articulate still fragile ideas and to celebrate unsuccessful thinking.
Four periods of collective work, spread over the year, give each participant a chance to broaden their approach through activities stimulated by knowledge brokers from various fields. These exchanges are combined with solo working times in LA SERRE spaces to lay the foundations of a future creation.
Halfway between truancy and a workshop without expertise, the Nomadic Residencies overturn the presumed solitude of studio work to turn it into a structuring catalyst for imagination. They are betting on reciprocal commitment, collective intelligence, shared gestures, thoughts, and actions capable of remodelling our relationship to the world and the living to nurse the creative processes.
For the 2021-2022 season, the Nomadic Residencies take advantage of an exclusive partnership with the City of Montreal. Participants have the opportunity to work outdoors for four weeks in two of the large Nature Parks of the island (Pointe-aux-Prairies and Cap-Saint-Jacques) to the rhythm of the four seasons.
