Performance Workshop for Jewellery-Linking Bodies department by Mariken Overdijk
5.11.2024
We will work with the body as a tool.
Warming it up in various ways.
Creating awareness of the physicality of the body in relation to space.
How this body transports us through the architecture of our surroundings.
How our internal body is guided by different impulses:
The feeling body.
The fluid body.
The physical body.
We will work on small scale performative interventions, instant compositions and mimographies of daily gestures.
Preferable unspectacular.
We will explore your own workspace (daily surrounding) as a gesture-archive to compose short-scores.
Available: a Body.
Direction: Where to where from.
Materials to Bring:
*If you have a camera, bring it along for documenting the work.
*Bring some nice clothes and shoes (comfortable).
* Pencil & notebook with some emptiness.
