CORPUS COLETIVUS
LAB
Laboratory for practice in performance art facilitated by Brazilian artist and researcher Dr. Andressa Cantergiani
The laboratory establishes a space for experimentation guided by the artistic and creative concerns of each participant and the collective body. Based on the concept of the body as a transdisciplinary device, the meetings spark diverse discussions on the relationships between performance and its conduct of resistance. Thus, the meetings address the production and reflection surrounding performance and its implications within the realm of art, social, political, and environmental contexts, and in relation to technology.
The Corpuscoletivo Laboratory proposes a discussion about the place of the body and performance in the social, political and environmental context.
WHAT RADICAL SENSES OF FREEDOM ARE WE ABLE TO PROVOKE?
HOW DOES THE BODY, AS A MEDIATOR OF OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE WORLD AND WITH OTHERS, LIVE INVOLVED IN VIOLENCE, CATASTROPHES, CONTRADICTIONS?
HOW CAN THE BODY BE THE FLOW AND ENVIRONMENT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS, EVEN AFTER THE PERFORMATIC ACTION THROUGH ITS DOCUMENTATION?
These and other questions guided the work during the laboratory and will be the focus of the open performance classes.
Using opposition techniques of relaxation and resistance, self-care and self-defense, Augusto Boal's Games, practical exercises of radical tenderness experienced with the La pocha Nostra Collective, exercises with objects, exercises and experimentation with projectors and body mapping scanners for relationships and expansion of the body through technology, indication of texts for theoretical and conceptual deepening, the artist will facilitate the development of each participant's ongoing projects in the meetings, as well as new performance projects for beginners.
The Laboratory is open to artists and non-artists, in order to create a diverse, heterogeneous space for collective listening.
