-A few years ago, we started to design 'seasonal programming’ for FoAM in Brussels. During winter we would focus on research, in the spring design and productions, dedicate summer to outward oriented activities (e.g. workshops and public events) and in the autumn retreat into documentation and reflection. While we feel the theory is sound, it has been difficult to implement in practice, as embedded as we are in a world that is always 'on', regardless of the weather, temperature or diurnal-cycles. In following these seasonal rhythms, the northern hemisphere winter suggests our time is primarily focused on research.
+Three weeks ago, we began our research retreat in Adelaide, Australia (in line with the 'seasonal programming’ for FoAM in Brussels, despite the summer here) with the aim of better understanding the techniques, tools and theories around 'future studies' and looking further afield to find tehcniques applicable to our current work. This delineated focus was deemed necessary since it is rare for us to be able to spend time in more or less uninterrupted reading, following interesting leads down often fractal rabbit holes. We attempted to answer questions that had arisen from the last few years of practice with scenarios and in particular prehearsals.
