Performance art workshop

The 3rd Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, under the general title “Old Intersections- Make it new”, introduces itself on September 18 until December 18 2011 in Thessaloniki. With the attention directed towards the Mediterranean region, the people, the culture, their emotions, their suffering and problems, viewed through a contemporary visual outlook, this year’s organisation consists of a central and parallel programme that embraces exhibitions, an international workshop of young artists, a performance festival, a symposium and a variety of artistic events building up in every part of the city.

A workshop will be organized during the 2nd Performance Festival (19-23.09), which will include a series of theoretical presentations on performance art, as well as one-person and group exercises. The exercises conducted will focus on the relationship of body to space and its interaction with the environment and the city. This workshop is based on the experiential recording of space, time, action, the material that is called body and the use of the creative process of performance. A practical workshop on the dynamics of the dialectic relationship between voice and body/sound production and movement, including vocal and physical improvisations, will also be included.
