- TITLE OF THE ACTIVITY:  PLAYING PERFORMANCE.

- DETAILED CONTENT DESCRIPTION (150 words or more):

Does performance art have a form ? Can performance art be taught ?

The boundary that separates an acting body from a performative body is thin and porous. As performers, we're constantly navigating from repeating to being, doing to redoing, controlling to letting go. Through a series of exercises, we'll explore together where that boundary is set, how we place ourselves in relation to it, and how we can (or can't) cross it.

By working solo but also collectively, with our own formal knowledge, facing aleatory and some constrained rules, we'll try to think and feel the moment when we go from acting to performing.

We'll start with a brief discussion about performativity and theatricality ; what they share and what makes them so different. Their particular form. Afterwards, we'll do some basic training and warm-up, in order to create a group and a shared work energy. Through some physical exercises, we'll try to exceed the exercise itself in order to "perform" it. We'll finish with a brief discussion.

 

- SUMMARY OF CONTENT DESCRIPTION (max 60 words; for publishing)  

Does performance art have a form ? Can performance art be taught ?

Constantly navigating from repeating to being, doing to redoing, controlling to letting go, we'll explore where the boundary that relies and separates playing from performing is set, how we place ourselves in relation to it, and how we can (or can't) cross it, trying to go from an acting body to a performative one.

                                                                                                                                                                     

- SHORT BIOGRAPHY (max 60 words for publishing (if co-taught all in all max 60 words)

Tali Serruya creates art forms where bodies become sculpture, time perpetuity and spaces sounds. Trained as a theater director, her practice is mostly performative and pedagogical. Through her main research, theatrical plasticity, she studies the thin line that differentiates theatricality from performativity and how we constantly navigate from one to the other. She presents regularly her work internationally (France, Spain, Switzerland, South Korea, England, Morocco, Finland...)
