Creative lab „Performative reality“ / Open level
Performance – the action based on specific behaving which is shifting / transforming the current time, space and energy. It is the process of unfolding the connection between the body/object and the space of the performance.
Performative Reality LAB is inviting you to get to know performance art tools through durational performance practice. The manipulation of the time and space perception becomes possible as well as the awakening of the sharper sensesDuring the Performative Reality LAB, we will be preparing our body and mind for a durational performance experience. We will be training personal will and stamina, working on an inner and outside body as well as on the connection between it, exploring imagination as a working tool for performing, finding our own weaknesses and strengths, and using its outcomes as tools, expressions for the performance. It is the process, which is going to open up your own unknown physical and mental abilities and give some tools in order to find, explore, improve and use it not only in creative work but also in regular daily life situations.
