This introductory workshop is an opportunity to engage and experiment with performance art in a stress-free and welcoming context. You will get to experience a short performance by the presenters and learn about the history of performance as well as of various performance practices, in addition to elaborating and taking part in performances of your own. All materials will be provided. The event will last three hours and will include a short break.
