fools' research lab II:
compos(t)ing realities

this is the second fools' research lab, after the first edition in april 2026. we are currently in the initial conceptual research phase. we are standing at the beginning of this journey and want to meet potential long-term collaborators who share our interests and experience.

our long-term vision is to form a dedicated, cohesive core crew that will continue to research, rehearse and perform in regular blocks each year.

this initial residency is a space for deepening practice, artistic research, and collective experimentation.

we are investigating what happens when we combine aesthetic composition practices with methods that draw out and embody hidden or challenging psychological content emerging within us — personally, interpersonally and systemically.

over the week, we will introduce distinct practices from different traditions to see how they intersect, collaborate or create productive friction. some of these practices include:

we hope to end our week having developed a psychospiritual game piece or ritual performance which will be offered to the larger community.

we are seeking artists, researchers and practitioners who possess solid experience and value the approach to collaborative creation. you should have a background in at least two of the fields below.

because we are building a foundation for the future, we are especially looking for individuals who are open for a long-term artistic commitment and are interested to explore at the intersection of deep psychological material and performance.

please fill out our short application form by november 1st.

applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis, so please apply as soon as possible to reserve your spot. spaces are limited to ensure a focused research environment.

contribution: starting from €350, which includes lodging in a dorm and 3 meals per day.
