For the 2026 edition, Workspace Ricerca X aims to further explore and investigate the relationship between dramaturgy and artistic research. After dedicating a specific focus to practice and critical thinking, the intention is now to observe the interactions and areas of intersection between research practices and dramaturgical practices, starting from the question: can we imagine a dramaturgy of research? Once again this year, the project will activate a complex research environment, shaped through shared residency sessions involving hosted artists, guests and artist-curators. Within a horizontal format based on the exchange of practices, self-learning and peer coaching, research and dramaturgy will be explored as interconnected practices, continuing to cultivate critical thinking and discursive reflection around artistic processes and making.
How does a dramaturgical gaze observe a research process?
How does a research posture act upon the dramaturgical function?
What alliances, frictions, and opportunities emerge from their encounter?
Can we imagine a dramaturgy of research?
Writing, moving. Dramaturgies in the expanded field is the 2025 Workspace Ricerca X program, which is articulated through two research residencies, Research Camping – Shifting Bodies e some public events, with the support of Lavanderia a Vapore / Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo.
