Taller de performance with Jelili Atiku //

The workshop Space is not an IDIOT, I am not a GENIUS (Egungun Method #1) is created to focus on improving the skills and identities of participants – so that they can create artistic actions with references from their personal and collective experiences. It integrates independent and collaborative creative processes and artistic developments with curatorial and production skills. It involves an intense and rigorous engagement with the body, space and objects based on the principles and ideas of ontological and epistemological certainties. It will explore the question, what is a thing?
During the first two days, participants will work on the introduction to performance and the process of aligning the different languages ​​of their bodies with themselves, the deep understanding of selected objects in the archive of their memories; and accessible materials in the environment. On the second day, they will question everyday rituals to develop and contextualize their individual projects that will be activated on the last day of the workshop.
