Venues of the Future / FAITH
Venues of the Future (VOTF) is a creative research and development project that aims to further explore the hybrid future of theatres and performance venues.
The project brings together an international team of creative partners NITE, Khalid Bengrhib / 2K-Far, DEN and Substrakt . This Dutch/Moroccan/UK collaboration aims to create dialogue between audiences and makers in all three countries to connect meaningfully to each other, the creative process and the theme of faith.
In the project we often reference Lyn Gardener’s idea that “Theatres should be the new town squares, not monasteries”. Our research project looks at how we open up our buildings, our processes, or conversations and our art. This creative R&D project explores the opportunity of theatre and performance organisations to expand their work into greater digital spaces. It will examine what a new ‘hybrid’ model might look like - a venue that embraces the potential of both the physical and the digital space.
Venues of the Future uses the stage production / dance performance FAITH by NITE and Khalid Bengrhib / 2K-Far as a thematic and artistic jumping off point. FAITH explores how we can share joint experiences, heal broken identities, what rituals we develop to connect - in the theatre, in life, online and in the hybrid space we all inhabit. How do theatre and art help us to figure out what do we do when everything around us fall apart?
And how can we kind of hope that there is a direction that takes everything towards a better place?

“According to Kierkegaard, faith does not have logic, reason, and rationality. Therefore, the definition of a leap of faith is a person having trust in something despite the lack of logic, reason, and rationality. They leap, figuratively, to interact or explore this thing.”

Sometimes, you just might need a section that has some really big. obvious text in it. It’s not quite a quote, more a big subheading. It could be an interesting colour. Mmmmm. Colour.
