A performance making workshop based on the idea that performance can be generated through the shared agency between materials and the body.
This workshop is based on the core idea that we employ within our own professional practice, that performance can be generated through the responsive shared agency between the material and the body.
In practice, we will introduce a series of performance making processes related to body movement and material exploration. We will begin by getting into our bodies through mindful movement and a multisensory awareness journey. Then, we will introduce the materials and get to understand them through playful experimentation. Finally, we will move onto movement improvisation tasks with the chosen material and explore the idea of performance making through this process.
Throughout the workshop, participants will learn how to explore their own ideas, concepts or stories through the imaginative interaction between bodies and materials. They will get the opportunity to explore how the properties of the materials can inform and inspire different movement qualities and narratives and how these processes lead to performance making.
It does not require previous experience or training from the participants.
Join us for an exciting opportunity to:
- Learn innovative tools for performance making
- Expand your creative practice
- Experiment in a safe and supportive environment
- Meet other creatives and exchange ideas
