At the workshop within the framework of CoFestival 2016, visual artist Darko Dragičević and dancer and choreographer Martin Sonderkamp will share the methods used during the creation of their performance Approximations.
Their work is motivated by questioning whether space can become an auteur in itself. It explores concepts of space and body in which materiality plays a major role, and where space is not present only as material space, but also as social and political space in which specific bodily and spatial properties and the arrangement of material things have an influence on the capacity to act and co-exist.
Participants will investigate the conditions under which space and bodies are conceived, exploring how spaces unfold inwards and how bodies affect a spatial outside. Each performance leaves its distinct marks in space; each consecutive performance uses the preceding one as a starting point and superimposes new layers of marks and traces.
The workshop opens heterogeneous work methods – writing, visual communication, cartography and choreographic script for bodies –, focusing on the exploration of the relationships between the material and the sensory. It is aimed at students and professionals in the fields of visual art, film, performance, dance, literature and media arts.
