Description
something from nothing: a live performance composition workshop with an emphasis on collaborative methods
5 & 6 July, 10am - 1pm workshop, 1pm-2pm open studio
£50
lead by: Karen Christopher & Sophie Grodin
A walk in silence, a performance directive, a devising process, material created collaboratively to share with fellow participants.
This two-part workshop will be a swift journey through the first steps of idea and realisation. The workshop involves crisp actions toward making without initially engaging too much thought. This direct approach is followed by reflection, response, and development. Group collaboration strategies are employed to inspire individual breakthrough. Trading, stealing, and imitating the work of fellow participants blurs boundaries of authorship while stimulating new individual directions. Finding ways to access both conscious and unconscious methods of creating work, participants exercise their own ability to turn off the inner critic and simply present what comes, as well as practicing creative methods to employ critical faculties once new material emerges.
The workshop is appropriate for any experience, ability, or age level and accommodates multiple disciplines.
Participants should be prepared to move but only to the level of their own comfort and ability.
Notebooks or other writing/recording devices essential.
