DEVELOPMENT (2006–2007)<br />
Following the Symposium two further steps <strong>of</strong> the SODA research<br />
phase took place in 2006 and early 2007. In November 2006, an<br />
experimental laboratory was conducted to test and evaluate the<br />
learning structures for the proposed Artistic Reference Frame<br />
(ARF) Choreographer Plus - a module envisioned for the SODA<br />
pilot programme which ‘concentrat[ed] on the individual processes<br />
<strong>of</strong> the artist / choreographer and the development <strong>of</strong> their<br />
authorial concerns in a transdisciplinary context’. The first ARF<br />
was a one-week research laboratory for which a leading choreographer<br />
(Deborah Hay, USA) was invited to choose two peer artists<br />
or partners (Margaret Cameron, AUS; and Rosa Casado, ES) to<br />
form an artistic reference frame. This <strong>of</strong>fered highly experienced,<br />
artistic resources to eight SODA ‘test candidates’ (through an<br />
open call for participation) to enhance, focus and facilitate their<br />
research skills and artistic practice. A second ARF Choreographer<br />
Plus laboratory was convened in January 2007 and lead by Ibrahim<br />
Quarishi (USA/F) with Gabriel Smeets (NL).<br />
