A unique chance for contemporary performance makers to join Berlin-based Clément in the research field of ‘association’; research he’s been conducting with ‘public in private’ over the last 3 years.

The workshop aims, in a playful way, at exploring the various performing implications of one daily life object. On one side the sensorial experience: exploring the ways the body can interact with things. On the other side a language based approach: investigating the various verbal associations that one specific object can generate. At last bringing them to happen simultaneously.

“Through a phenomenological then a semiotic approach, we’ll make an archeology of our relation to objects, things of our daily life. Playful but carefully framed, this exploration will lead us to discover the performing potential lying in between object and us.”

This workshop is ideally suited to professional performance makers: dancers, theatre and live art practitioners who want to broaden their experience of approaches to making work.
