Open Works Lab

Open Works Lab Play, performance and participation through storytelling and sound. We are interested in play, performance and participation.

We are curious about the infinite potential of the imagination and the power of people coming together. Our work is open because it provides others with access, passage and a view to experiences that are not closed or blocked. It constantly questions what alternative options are open to it and to us. It is candid, its edges drawn away from each other, unfolded, spread out. We are sceptical about a

rt for art’s sake, yet at the same time we honour it. We treasure expertise but yearn for the experimental, which is why we invoke the laboratory as our space. Our projects are varied but always exploring the relationship between traditional and digital age storytelling. Renzo’s toolkit is sound while Giuliana’s the written and spoken word. Gaby is our anchor, so if you want to get to know more about our work or to propose a collaboration, send her a message on the Page and she'll work her magic.

Part of our research in preparation for this conference involved workshops that led us out into the streets of Valletta to explore the soundscapes of the city and how we relate to them. Special thanks go to Kostas, Daniel, Cynthia, Claire, Michaela, Costa and all the others who took part :) Thanks also go to Fortress Buildings who hosted us!
