Workshop Description

The workshop revolves around questions of liveness, performativity and movement in different contexts: stage, exhibition, public space.
We will do practical work involving the body and we will relate to the interests and practices of the participants. Other topics of concern for the workshop are related to how live works in public space and in an exhibition space hold a potential for different regimes of attention, for reconfiguring the public sphere as a more communal and collective experience.
We will work on a set of references for embodiment, exploring various choreographic strategies and tools, both in groups and individually.
