_ARTLAB: RESIDENCY AT FIRST SITE GALLERY
_WINTER 2016
​
​_DURING Sommariva's residency she coordinated over thirty individuals in a project based on the exploration collaboration and experimentation between artistic disciplines.
_NINE projects were realised in this time, including a technicolored digital installation and participatory performance titled R E C O D E. Six contemporary dancers, two AV artist and one live sound artist occupied the installation. The audience was invited to participate, breaking the barrier between stage and viewer.
​
_OTHER collaborations experimented with movement and material, including an artist workshop taking place in a material playground. Fabrics of different opacities and textures were manipulated through dance techniques and light, filmed and later made into a short film piece titled Material x Movement.
