TRANSFORMANCE is an activity that reaches
beyond usual theatrical spaces and conventions. It aims at the
transformation of a whole milieu - a school or any other
institution, a parish, a neighbourhood or a village. TRANSFORMANCE
presupposes the practice of theatre as interference, as a factor
upsetting the usual daily dynamics and relationships. In
TRANSFORMANCE theatre uses its manifold knowledge to free latent
energy in a milieu and bring about a constellation of unexpected
collaborative bonds. It is a total use of a theatre's know-how
concerning expressive communication, nonverbal information, contact
and the building of relationships, physical presence and decisional
skill, participation and group dynamics, tacit knowledge and its
transmission, ideoplastic processes (the capacity to transform
thoughts and feelings into disciplined actions and reactions),
artistic and practical targeting, intercultural collaboration,
planning, realisation, management and networking.
