archive: everybody's toolbox
everybodys toolbox was an online "workshop kit": a collection of games made to support performance artists in articulating and circulating their methods and interests. Inspired by open source software development in the context of begginning PAF in 2006, it was nurtured by the joint efforts of whoever chose to, among others Nicolas Couturier, Mette Ingvartsen, Krõõt Juurak, Ambra Pittoni, Petra Sabisch and myself. In order to keep the games available I collected them into .pdfs which you can find and download here, together with the publications made by Mette and I. Nostalgics can also visit parts of the website on the way back machine.
Beyond the «games», the website gathered transcripts of those games as played by artists as well a performance scores and self-interviews which were published in book form and also distributed for free around European hubs for contemporary dance.
The declared intention of the project was that "everybodys is open to anyone to do whatever. Everybody has access to everything and can edit and delete all that is around, but it is also an opportunity for everybody to claim the site and the engagement as their own, as a collective effort that can pay off in different ways in different contexts. Engaging at everybodys means to engage in a discursive open-ended experimental practice." (Alice Chauchat, Mette Ingvatsen, Krõõt Juurak, Petra Sabisch for Everybodys in Frakcija Performing Arts Journal, no. 41 - 2006)
Any person interested in bringing the project back to life is heartily encouraged to do so and can contact me with any question.
