As Covid-19 is not leaving anytime soon and become a part of our daily life, we approach a new edition of our artists – in residence programme Welcome To Our Guesthouse. With this edition, we focus on the challenges that we as makers, cultural workers and public are facing during this pandemic: the interconnected nature of our actions, responses and decisions have caused different impacts local en international. If It is the uneven conditions that controle to a large extend how we work, create art and live, ”How to gather together?” becomes a key question in our current shared moment. From this starting point and with the main attitude of learning by doing we designed a Lab Week in collaboration with the Art Of Performing Track of Theater Rotterdam. During this second edition of Welcome To Our Guesthouse Lab Week, the makers of Productiehuis Theater Rotterdam meet regularly for performances and series of sessions called Encounter & Exchange, where we collaborate with artists Hooman Sharifi, Enkidu Khaled and Naomi King.
