Course objectives
In both discussion and action, students follow the line between the topic of physicality, places and events. They work physically both indoors and outdoors. They study the activities of performance art, installation, the body concept, where the body is both subject and object, they work with the theme of performer/spectator/actor, they study the temporality of action, rhythm, belonging in cooperation. In this way, they acquire the skill of self-reflection and presentation in a public space not tied to the theater. It is about working with visual, sound, light means, objects, the art of collaboration, the ability to find multiple perspectives on one topic, art from another place, non-anthropocentric experiencing - sharing. The goal is a non-hierarchical grasp of the situation, material, object, space and body/personality. Strengthening the ability to negotiate within the group and external actors, interaction, resilience.
