On Performance Art

LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS IS IT!

Forced Entertainment, 2014.

In this workshop the perfomance group Monster Truck will examine strategies of performance art in historical and contemporary contexts. What are the defining and peculiar characteristics of performance art? How does it find its way to the audience? Oscillating along the edges of both theatre and visual arts, how can performance art be characterized? Which possible interfaces are there with regard to other artistic genres?

The workshop addresses students and young professionals of all artistic disciplines. Apart from showing and discussing remarkable cornerstones of performance art and theory, the workshop will focus on the practical approach, involving the participants and their respective topics. A final presentation of the work will be happening on the last day.
