“Orality…is inseparable from the body in movement.”
 — Edouard Glissant

Every DAI week, one full day is dedicated to individual presentations and lecture-performances (recognized here as a longstanding unique discipline, a hybrid of research, lecture, visual art and performative narrative techniques) by a, monthly changing,  small group of selected students. Lecture performance as an educational tool was coined in 2003 by DAI and molded and sculpted ever since. The format offers individual students the possibility to present their independent work and research updates, proposals, experiments and interests. For DAI as an academy without individual studio spaces, this is the moment where things can be shared among the entire student body. Embedded in a rigorous curriculum consisting of curated classes, seminars and collaborative workshops the Kitchen/Not The Restaurant offers DAI-students a "free space": for the duration of twenty uninterrupted minutes each student is invited to 'speak' to an audience consisting of their fellow students and two, also monthly changing guest respondents (invited artists, curators, writers, scholars). 

Beginning their presentation with a carefully crafted key question, the student presents work by means of performance, talk, performance-lecture, screening, reading, choreography, play, demonstration, action, presentation of relevant aspects of praxis or work in progress or process, reference sets or, a combination of (some of) these formats. Other than the limits of the given time and space frame there are actually no restrictions to the content and the format of the presentation. Following each presentation, in a conversational mode, the two invited respondents try to engage with the question while simultaneously improvising an associative, spoken reflection. 

The day-long event is gently guided by referee Gabriëlle Schleijpen.

June 24-30, 2017 the DAI will organize a week long 'marathon' where all students, in the presence of core tutors and invited guest respondents will present a (semi-) final Kitchen/Not The Restaurant work (again, within the limits of the set framework of time and space). Graduating from the DAI is based on a positive assessment of a variety of equally important curriculum components, while the Kitchen presentations by second year students in June function as a punctuation mark to the overall learning trajectory of the student in the past one or two years at the DAI. The presentations of the second year students will be live-streamed, documented and later on (partly) published at our MA Grad Archive on this website.
