Workshop D:
Installing the Sacred - A Performance-Installation
Regina Fichtner (Frankfurt / London)
Religion can be found in different forms, practices and media: in (motion) pictures, movements, sounds and music, texts… . But what happens when a portrait becomes a text, or a sound transforms into a movement? Where does the ‘Sacred’ aspect go? In a series of practical research tasks we are going to filter the ‘Religious’ out of its medium by using methods of physical and spoken theatre as well as different devising techniques and movement scores. Examples of contemporary performance-installations will give us an idea of how to work in a multimedia-based environment. The results of the workshop can be presented in a performance installation at the IPP Summer School. Please bring comfortable clothing. No previous dance/theatre experience is required.
