The SensoryScapes Performance Art residency aims to empower performance practitioners by offering space, resources, and growth opportunities.
Collaboratively spearheaded by Studio 88 Artist Residency and the talented Artistic Director Chaiwat Lochotinant of the Base Box Theatre and Len Yai Performance Project by Chiang Mai Design Week, this residency emphasizes both local and international collaboration, fostering creative exchange and experimentation within Chiang Mai’s rich cultural landscape.
During the residency, artists will explore various mediums including directing, movement, music, light, sound, visuals, storytelling, and technology. Through masterclasses, workshops, and open studios, participants will be encouraged to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Collaboration between local and international artists is encouraged, fostering the exchange of ideas and constructive feedback.
Key components of the residency include:
- Experimentation, exchange, and knowledge sharing across cultural and disciplinary boundaries.
- Workshops to share skills and techniques with fellow artists and local communities.
- Sharing sessions to discuss artistic journeys and perspectives on performing arts.
- Presentations of existing artwork with Q&A sessions.
We encourage artists from all disciplines to participate. We invite proposals for projects that blend design principles with performing arts, such as Design Thinking for Performance, Set Design, Costume Design, Projection Mapping, Interactive Performance Installations, Sound Design, Collaborative Performance, Experimental Stage Productions, Digital Choreography, Environmental Performance Design, and Integration of art, design, and technology (including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), Literary Arts (poetry, prose, spoken word), Sound & Music, Film & Multimedia and Visual Arts as well as Cross-disciplinaries.
The residency will culminate in public events, including performances and exhibitions, grounded in rigorous research and experimentation. Curated by our team, the aim is to resonate with audiences, provoke thought, and inspire meaningful dialogue.
