Self-Mistake

Experimentation and risk in contemporary dance and performance

The Self-Mistake project promotes artistic research in a context of experimentation and risk, in the areas of contemporary dance and performance. It supports the development of artistic processes, as well as the sharing of creations in alternative contexts.

By welcoming the risk of making mistakes or failing in appropriate environments, the Self-Mistake project encourages experimentation in artistic creation as a fundamental step towards innovation and development.

Self-Mistake promotes this approach in the form of financial grants, strategic advice, production and creation consultancy, and event programming.

"unforced errors", result from the sense of risk, the will to innovate, to dive into the unknown. Just as in high-level sports or scientific research, the transformative artists of their time are those who are not afraid to make mistakes, until they discover something extraordinary. It is therefore urgent to give them the conditions that are best suited to creating in freedom and autonomy. Providing an environment for risk and error. Allowing new ways of construction, sharing and artistic enjoyment.
