Creating Transformative Encounters

Workshop 2022 in Vordingborg
CREATING TRANSFORMATIVE ENCOUNTERS
11 – 18 August
Teaching is in English.

Creating Transformative Encounters is a workshop in Participatory and Human Specific Performance open to English-speaking participants from all countries. The workshop is addressed to artists and students within performance, acting, dance, music, visual arts, theatre production, and can very well be used in the process of developing new artistic material. Also therapists, teachers, and others with an interest in close encounters between people, can benefit from this work.

We will explore interactivity, participation and artistic honesty in different settings and create performative, interactive games and rituals between participating audience and performers.

Working individually, in pairs or in small groups, the participants will research an artistic language that speaks directly to the senses and replaces fiction with true here and now presence.

We will investigate many different forms of sincere and non-fictive communication which can activate strong emotional and sensorial responses. The boundaries of artistic intimacy between strangers will be challenged, evoking authentic, receptive and trusting modalities of participation.

Some of the specific themes and exercises will therefore be connected with:

• The creation of a sensorial universe.
• Devising and guiding sensorial experiences.
• The creation of a true personal connection, within a set frame of a performative universe.
• Exploring borders of emotional and intellectual interaction.
• Using non-traditional spaces for framing experiences with journey-like structures.
• Development of personal, biographical material outside of the typical storytelling frames.
• Development of different forms of open dramaturgies and labyrinth-like performance structures.
• Creation of small interactive group dramaturgies.
• Risk taking: the performer in the double role as both
  guide and protagonist.
• Physical contact with a participating audience.

Creating a non-invasive environment for physical communication.
