HOST
SWTEP can work with institutions, independent spaces, private patrons, and other partners willing to make a production possible without determining its outcome.
WHAT HOSTING MEANS
A host provides conditions in which a SWTEP production can take place.
SWTEP develops the protocol.
The host makes its execution possible.
Neither role requires control over the other.
A HOST MAY PROVIDE
space
production support
materials
funding
logistics
technical resources
documentation support
public access where relevant
The requirements depend on the production.
BEFORE PRODUCTION
The proposition, conditions, responsibilities, duration, and resources are agreed before execution begins.
Once agreed, those conditions are protected for the duration of the production.
THE HOST DOES NOT DETERMINE
artistic outcomes
hierarchy between participants
selection during production
authorship
the meaning of the work
Hosting SWTEP does not imply ownership of SWTEP or its protocol.
PROPOSING A CONTEXT
A host may approach SWTEP with a place, question, situation, relationship, or possibility.
SWTEP determines whether there is a meaningful protocol to build around it.
Not every invitation needs to become a production.
