Performance and participation

Mål og innhald

Participatory performances allow the audience to experience themselves as part of an art work. The confrontations that evolve from such experience can facilitate a broader discussion related to authority, hierarchy and social power dynamics.

In the course ¿Performance and participation¿ we will discuss if and how art can be a frame that allows the viewer to challenge personal and social borders in order to experience moments of transformation or liberation.

We will use the discussions as a starting point for the development of individual performances that are completed through individual talks and performative group exercises and subsequently presented to each other.

The goal of the course will be to develop a new performance addressing or including the viewer(s) as well as to

investigate and discuss the following questions: What are the formal parameters of performance?

How can viewers become participants?

How can performance be shown in the context of an exhibition?

The goal of the course will be to develop a new performance addressing or including the viewer(s)
