A ONE-WEEK PERFORMANCE LABORATORY
Course size 20 participants
This will commence with a lecture presentation and discussion of Aggiss/Cowie's work, focussing on questions around hybrid performance languages,performance as content, process and the fluidity between reality and illusion, apocryphal performance and the distinct solo voice, offsetting viewing habits by playing with site, reviewing time in a climate where speed has become the agency of value.
The morning sessions led by Liz and Billy will focus on physical performance skills, fast tasking, crisp thinking and the creation of oneminute wonders with language that explores hybridity, engaging the physical, textual and filmic. Participants are requested to bring a digital video camera. During the afternoon sessions, participants will be invited to show their work for critical feedback and mentoring; this could be live or screen based.
This workshop is open to practitioners who make work and want a space to discuss and develop. This workshop is open to performance practitioners whose work belies category and who delight in crossing disciplines
