Abstract [en]

This project investigates the methodology of TeaterPi, an Italian Stockholm-based theatre collective known for its multilingual, transcultural performances and collaborative devising practices that bridge the gap between professional and non-professional theatre-makers, and the fluid leadership used within this context. Departing from an initial exploration of film montage theories applied to performing arts, the research shifts to an in-depth examination of fluid leadership, a dynamic and adaptable approach that has organically emerged from TeaterPi's process. Fluid leadership, characterised by a conscious shifting of roles and responsibilities, a willingness to relinquish control and self determination, and a focus on facilitating collective creativity, directly reflects TeaterPi's commitment to ensemble-driven creation and the integration of diverse skill sets within a mixed ensemble. Through a detailed case study of the collective's production of Pinocchio 2.0, the written reflection analyses the practical application of fluid leadership and TeaterPi's methodology, highlighting how this approach fosters collective ownership, embraces emergent artistic choices, and cultivates a strong sense of belonging among the diverse ensemble. Situated within contemporary discourses on collaborative and transcultural theatre-making and evolving leadership models in the arts, the research argues for the significance of fluid leadership as a valuable alternative to hierarchical structures, offering potential benefits for artistic innovation, alternative work setting and process and ensemble empowerment in the performing arts field.
