Die Mühle/The Mill. Four performances
Die Mühle/The Mill was a trans-disciplinary performance research project undertaken in 2012 in collaboration with Theater im Glasshaus disability arts group in Braunschweig, Germany (http://www.theaterglashaus.de/?p=747). Kampe was co-organiser of this project, which set out to investigate inclusive performer-training and performance-making methods with performers with and without learning disabilities. This international project included artists and academics from the UK, Germany, and the US, including the Research Institute for Experimental Design of Coburg University, Germany. The practice-led applied research project involved research laboratories, rehearsal periods, and three public performances at Kunstmühle Braunschweig. The project was funded with £30,000 by Lebenshilfe Braunschweig Disability Trust. The project was documented visually through videos, photographs, and through a published book (November 2012). This included a chapter by Kampe (Kampe, T. (2012) ‘Spinning The Web’. In: TIG & Kohn (2012) The Mill. Köln: Luftschiff: pp. 12-15) which discusses the practice-led methodologies probed through the project within trans-disciplinary arts research contexts with reference to Borgdoff, Fischer-Lichte, and Morin. The project was informed by methodologies and theoretical contexts identified in Output 1 and informed Output 4. Video documentation of the project is available online (http://www.theaterglashaus.de/?p=775).
