From the 30th of September to the 9th of October 2013, Sarah Neville, Florence Thomas, Nik Gaffney and Maja Kuzmanovic inhabit the Castello Parenzana, close to the legendary town of Motovun in Istria, Croatia. Matt and Miranda Thomas take part in the residency as well, remotely from the Adelaide Hills. Although the landscape in Istrian and South Australian hills might share similarities of climate and topography, the flora and fauna, stories and cultures that grew from them are quite different. Inspired and informed by the landscape, the weather and the (hi)stories of both places, as well as our own experiences as inhabitants and migrants, we're looking into the relationships between storytelling and the environment, | From the 30th of September to the 9th of October 2013, Sarah Neville, Florence Thomas, Nik Gaffney and Maja Kuzmanovic inhabit the Castello Parenzana, close to the legendary town of Motovun in Istria, Croatia.

+ | A few things to explore: | ||
+ | * reviewing documentation of the early beginnings of the project in Sweden and Australia | ||
+ | * Miranda: volcano is a rock with a hole in it, there is lava and you can die from it. | ||
+ | * "In the heat" - collapsibility of a body, fragility, no escape | ||
+ | * Dialogues (Domestic violence, Demeter & Persephone - harshness of content, gentleness of voices, related to natural and cultural disasters | ||
+ | * staging photos around the house with emerging characters (storyteller, | ||
+ | * vocal exercise working with keywords from local legends and/or emerging from the process | ||
+ | * Tasks for Matt: sound explorations responding to conceptual developments in Castelletto | ||
+ | * Tasks for Miranda: How does this story continue: "There once was a giant, who built a town on a hill..." | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{> | ||
+ | |||
+ | // // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Questions to explore: | ||
+ | * How can stories be presented? | ||
+ | * What are people telling themselves? | ||
+ | * How can a story be dislocated and becoming something else? | ||
+ | * What stories are told to understand the weather (how do historical myths relate to contemporary ones, e.g. sci-fi movies about ecological disasters, where stories are only told when the weather becomes extreme... what happens to all the other stories about weather in daily life? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Creation myths in contrast to aphorisms and sayings about the weather and other natural phenomena, such as: | ||
+ | * the tribe escaping a tsunami by listening to an ancient myth and running up a mountain after recognising warning signs as predicted in the story | ||
+ | * Miranda' | ||
+ | * the "red sunset" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Aphorisms include a heuristic approach to the world, they deal with probabilities rather than dogmas. What happens to age old sayings that might be less in tune with current climate chaos (when red sunsets don't often mean nice weather...). Do we need new annotations or re-interpretations of these texts to reflect our time? | ||
