Performance and Site-specific workshop
This workshop, which took place in an open field in the forest, was designed to introduce to the children 3 components: performance art, site-specific pieces, and ongoing performance. Simultaneous combination of these 3 ingredients, dissolved eventually to one piece. Using sound, movement in space and visual elements as tools for creating the performance, we developed creative and intuitive thinking as a gate to free, unrestrained exploration of one’s imagination, and further to the performance action it lead to.
Performance art, being a fairly abstract from to comprehend, requires much flexibility. For one to be able to mix various disciplines and perspectives, constantly shifting focus and freely using a varied tool box.
To make these abilities available for the children, the workshop involves exercises the combine constantly several focuses: movement and sound, creative writing and drawing, improvisation with instruments and instructed imaginary exercise and more.
The final result of the workshop was a performance art work the children made in couples around the forest. They created characters, which they invented as an outcome from a story they each wrote. Then matching the characters, the couples built a whole world around them – with the sound, movement, expression and visualization this world includes.
The coupled characters performed in an ongoing matter around the forest, as separated, yet connected entities.
