MODE05

Despite of reflecting the possible shapes and contents of a dance "education" my motivation is also linked to the public/non-public/what means public-discussion that came up. How can a process as a potential and statement in itself meaning any artistic practice or model of education survive in a system of product placement? What are the strategies needed to position one within or outside of or in whatever relation to the other? Is it capitulation to get involved even strategically with it? If this is the case: How can the process be held in procedure if it decides with good reason not to request for the attention of the product orientated institutions that are in charge of the material sources? This is the difference between our internal discussion and the education topic in general. Concerning mode05 it is a lot about not to limit the potential of the working process by predefining it by something that experience has shown is the way the system also uses to successfully turn any process into a product. But mode is already fixed and financed though, it is free what to make out of it, little need for consideration except one sees the need of it. The whole should be discussed as part of what the meeting is about. Fact is that what we may be able to avoid for this week is impossible to be avoided there: How to give stability on the long run (which we don’t need here) to an education program of whatever kind? This is not possible as a private part-time-commitment and luxury for the interest of the matter. Or is it? Just some additional points: Still art as well as education is fixed as a right and need in the constitution. The German state has the duty to deliver art to its people, therefore he distributes subsidies, knowing, that this distribution is his chance to take influence in a field that still claims autonomy. In the federal state Brandenburg where the fabrik is located the government has due to the financial crisis recently decided to cut art from its list of priorities. It is not affordable anymore while economy, science, infrastructure are of course – as well as education. What a horizon opens up from here for an art "education"?
