“Agora Thinks Performance Art”, Agora’s program inside the frame on “The Month of Performance Art Berlin”, focuses on questions that permeate, connect and disconnect two distinctive manifestations from the performative field: Choreography/Dance and Performance Art.
The program consists of different activities that Agora proposes to raise questions and create contexts to encourage the interaction between Contemporary Dance and Performance Art professionals.
The performative body in conceptual construction
This workshop is about exercising and analyzing performance art in different contexts, to conceptualize a performance and to make it not an abstract movement or action, but a common communicative human language.
Another part of the workshop will be a research of each participant, to find the common desire and the subconsciously common-will between performer and others (audience). We will practice these in order to straighten a performance and to produce more interactivity.
These are some questions we will relate to during the workshop:
What is the basic element to construct a performance?
How minimal can a performance be?
How to deal with terms such as “site-specific”, “context”, “interaction” and “provocation” in a performance?
Should we worry about the audience, or should we let audience affect us?
How change the world?
Schedule
The workshop happens in two different days
May 8th from 5 -9pm
May11th from 12-4pm
On May 11th, the workshop will be followed by a performance by Lan Hungh and another by Hermann Heisig, as continuation of “Agora thinks performance Art” program.
