cap0002

pa ck was born in 2002, hosted in a residency in the Metrònom Room, Barcelona (2002-2003). The project was given the bursary KRTU for young creativityby by the Government of Catalunya. The team that coordinated the project pa ck has worked together since 2002 in diverse projects that relate to the scenic arts, performance actions and spontaneous theatre.

The cultural association “La Sospechosa” instigated pa ck in one of it´s lines of work, and now it is a featured tool in the association “Sin Vergüenza”.

The project pa ck aims to generate a space between  play and performance, the creative process and research. A space of convergance of theoretic reflections and creative practices based on concepts and experiences related to the body and to technologies, for different perspectives, ages and intereses. This is all produced in a transdiscipinary line of work.

We understand transdisciplne research as a creation of group spaces. Different subjectivities and disciplines combining and melting together into a multiple figuer can rebirth new spaces and meanings in a moment of discovery. The production is no longer owned by an individual or by a particular discipline.

We therefore invite different collectives of diverse disciplines (technology, art, science and education) to develop diverse aspects of research and different groups of people of differing ages to play and transform the playground.



The Project has many forms:

Research labatory pa ck lab

Installation – interactive playground pa ck installations

Performance pa ck action

Sessions for children pa ck in school

Creation of video, audio, text (collective material) pa ck os

Live archive of the body and technology, open to receive from people and collectives pa ck al dia
