We have a situation! is a series of live, trans-border, online-offline participatory performances addressing current cross-cultural European issues.
Between March and May 2013 four “situations” will be created in four European cities – London, Eindhoven, Nantes and Graz – with each “situation” involving a 5-day workshop and a final networked event taking place at a local venue and simultaneously
streamed live through the online platform UpStage.
Each situation is directly chosen, devised and developed by local people in each city in collaboration with lead artist Helen Varley Jamieson (Germany/NZ) and the project partners – APO33 (FR), Furtherfield (UK), MAD emergent art center (NL) and Schaumbad Freies Atelierhaus Graz (AT).
During the 5 day workshop participants are invited to share and explore ideas around the chosen theme and develop a performance using storytelling, materials, found objects, digital tools and anything they feel is relevant to the story they want to tell. At the event participants will present their chosen situation to online-offline audiences and together they will participate in discussions across European national borders that imagine creative solutions and alternatives to the issues raised. The process aims to bring people together in a creative event and foster an understanding of countries as communities of people, with many commonalities.
SITUATIONS CALENDAR
London (UK) – 19-23 March 2013
Nantes (FR) – 9-13 April 2013
Eindhoven (NL) – 15-18 April 2013

We have a situation… is een scala aan rechtstreekse, grensoverschrijdende voorstellingen die zowel online als offline zullen plaatsvinden, gericht op de huidige multiculturele kwesties, bijvoorbeeld de financiële crisis en begoochelingen van politieke leiders.
De manifestaties gaan lokaal plaatsvinden en tegelijk online via het podium van UpStage. Zij gaan ervaringen delen op Europees niveau en specifieke situaties onderzoeken, die door samenwerkende passanten en gebruikers geformuleerd worden. Na iedere voorstelling, zal een Europees publiek zich in de discussies mengen om zich creatieve oplossingen voor te stellen binnen de gegeven situaties. Er gaan vier situaties gecreëerd worden in Eindhoven, Graz, Londen en Nantes.
Iedere ‘situatie’ zal bestaan uit een ontwerp en onderzoek fase door de online en lokale deelnemers, een vijfdaagse workshop, hetgeen zal resulteren in een trans-Europese manifestatie. Het uitgedachte publiek beslaat Europese burgers die zich een betere wereld voorstellen en hun stem willen laten horen.
Een samenwerking van APo33 (Fr) samen met MAD emergent art center (NL), Schaumbad, Freies Atelierhaus Graz (AU) en Furtherfield (GB).
