The Proto-type Summer School 2009 offered a chance for eight adventurous young makers to develop their practice by working with Proto-type – a mix of workshop/training sessions, new work development and social time themed around the question:

Where do lost things go?

Proto-type delivered a series of provocations to the participants, which inspired the development of short performance works which ranged from durational performances to solos, duets, and dances. The weeklong workshop culminated in a showing of the developed pieces to the public and arts professionals.
