Abstract

What you will experience in the next few pages arises from our desire to partly document and partly revisit, share and continue a dialogue that we began as part of our performative presentation ‘Meeting Again: Dramaturgy as a practice of lateral movement’ for the UniArts Futures Lecture Series (2020). For that event, we set up a performative dialogue in order to think through statements, questions, suppositions and fragments of thought in the live situation. To enable that process, we followed a score that required us to move laterally in the space, unfolding different types of materials and creating something like a floor map inspired by the principles of tic-tac-toe; this allowed us to practice dramaturgy as a generative but also disruptive operation. New thought and connections emerged between theoretical propositions, arguments and counter-arguments, as well as speculations, actions, confessions and even fictional proclamations. This then was an event that allowed us to not only share and be with the (un)known, but also experiment with ways of knowing (and not knowing) whileworking together, in practice and performatively.
