DREAMING ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF EDUCATION WHILE WITNESSING APOCALYPSES (a gathering)

As part of Entanglements Of The Apocalypse, VSSL Studio will host a private gathering (not open to the public) with and for the current cohort of the Rose Choreographic School.

This curated roundtable brings together a diverse array of creative/artistic-researchers - to share practices, knowledges, and speculations at the intersection of apocalyptic thinking, artistic enquiry, and experimental pedagogy.

Leading into and during the gathering, Dreaming Alternative Ways of Education While Witnessing Apocalypses will serve as both a prompt and invitation - asking how we might learn jotherwise, in other ways, while the world continues through ongoing cycles of collapse and renewal.

Through conversation, listening, and imaginative exchange, the session foregrounds practices of embodied research, communal dreaming, and the weaving of counter-narratives.

Together, the VSSL team and Rose Choreographic School cohort will consider how education might transform under pressure: beyond institutions, beyond certainty, and within the entangled temporalities of multiple apocalypses.

This gathering is not open to the public, but its resonances will inform future ways in which both VSSL Studio and the Rose Choreographic School cohort continue to think, make, and share in uncertain times.

About Rose Choreographic School

Rose Choreographic School is an experimental research and pedagogy project. We support a cohort of 13 artists to explore their singular choreographic enquiries and to collectively imagine a school through which knowledges and practices can be developed and shared. There is no set curriculum or syllabus, and no predetermined outcome; the focus is on coming together as a community of artist researchers to discover the conditions we need for speculation and articulation. Each cycle of the School lasts two years, during which we offer access to studio spaces, mentoring and a research budget. The Artistic Faculty for this first cycle are Alesandra Seutin, Trajal Harrell and William Forsythe and they will invite engagement with their own research concerns and practices. The current cohort have collectively written a statement in solidarity with Palestine. It can be read in English or Arabic on our Publications page.
