Relational practical workshop based on art, performance, multimedia and well-being.
28-30 August 2015
at the Cultural Association LIUPIROGI & PAGIOPA in Viserba di Rimini
We will work with breath, music, color, dance, performance, speech, installation and space, to discover our profound direction, our value, our uniqueness. We will try to understand what we want to express and the means and ways to best express it. A work at the same time on the invisible and on the visible, on spirituality and on matter, on contents and forms. Performance art brings all these languages and stimuli into play, and leads us into our most unexplored and truest territories, where we can draw great energy and great well-being. You will work on the terrace, on the beach of Viserba and on the Rimini pier, both in groups and individually. Each participant will be followed personally and helped to discover what he wants to communicate and the best way to make it happen, so as to produce, each, his own work-performance.
The workshop is structured in three intersected themes:
Body work: concentration techniques; breathing techniques; body awareness; posture and movements; exploration of the performative possibilities of the body.
Work on the psyche: discovery of the self through multimedia techniques with dance, music, color, words; identifying one's own creative and expressive needs, searching for one's personal expressive language
Performance work: definition of performance and multimedia; identification and development of a performative theme; individual work and in small groups; creation of personal performances: research of the appropriate languages to realize them, research of materials, preparation work, elements of interaction with the public. Eventual exhibition.
