Structured programmes for artists, students and professionals working across live hybrid practice — not one-off workshops, but sustained arcs of development, where the idea gets tested before it gets shown.
OOT Residency
26–27
A six-month residency exploring how live bodies and digital systems compose shared realities together, rather than simply moving between them. Open to artists across dance, theatre, music, performance and technology — no technical expertise required, just a genuine question about presence, liveness, or the body in mediated space.
“The body does not move between realities. It composes them. We are not asking artists to adapt to a technology. We are asking what a body, live, present, particular, can compose when it is given the tools, the time, and the trust to find out.”
— Joumana Mourad, Founder & Artistic Director, IJAD and OOT
Nine live tensions to work inside
Body/system, live/mediated, near/remote, visible/invisible, touch/signal, theatre/XR, audience/participant, presence/multipresence — one tension still to confirm.
Developed through IJAD’s Innovation Lab and its practice of Sensography — the design of sensory relationships between bodies, spaces, materials and technologies.
