A tailor-made performance art workshop invites participants to explore processes of personal & original creation. To practice presence & action
in the here and now, in front of a live audience, in order to find new meanings.
The experience evokes associative connections between the every day and the artistic, the personal and the universal, the private and the political,
the figurative and the conceptual.
The workshop allows the participants to openly examine human cultural, social perceptions & actions in an artistic context, and to experiment with the way we produce art, how we look at art, in what ways we experience it and what role does it acquire for us.
Performance Art Workshops
• Characteristics of Performance Art; A practical acquaintance with the medium of Performance Art within the everyday, as a creative tool of action in space and in response to the environment & culture in which we operate.
• Personal Expression as a basis for critical socio-cultural reflection;
The participant’s biographical/personal presence in relation to current context whilst crossing self-boundaries.
• The Presence of the Authentic Self, Body & Action; ‘Be and act’ in real time and cease to ‘present’ and represent.
• Ironic Positions in creating a multi-voiced and ambiguous counterpoint within the mixture between an everyday action and a performative action.
• Creative Processes within the medium of Performance Art that dictate the nature of the work; concept, format, image, time, place, ephemerality, violation of the familiar order.
• The Visual Image, as an emerging action suggesting a new context that offers an alternative observation & interpretation, challenging patterns of thoughts & behaviour to which we are accustomed.
topics:
• Subconscious & personal archive as motives for creation; The participant’s inner world & the desire to express disturbing issues, contribute to the reflection of contemporary reality & raise existential questions about morality and humanism to further create a change.
• The practice & development of a lively and immediate dialogue between the creator and the viewer, when the audience is given an active and central role in the work.
