In the workshop, we will move back and forth between theory and practice, navigate references as a compositional strategy and transition from improvisation to construction. As a theoretical frame, we’ll address the historical construction of identity and authenticity in modern performance, and outline avenues to redefine it. This theoretical discussion will be the gateway to practical work. We will dive into an abundance of readymade materials and formulate a vocabulary of approaches: interpolating, sampling, quoting, referring and reiterating will comprise of our toolkit and take center stage, rather than “creating”. Constructing a hospitable space for moments to emerge, we will expand our performative sensibilities to include diverse starting points for a complicated dramaturgy of emergence. As the workshop progresses, we will transition from improvisation to composition, and will discuss tools to analyze, organize and contextualize material. Finally, we will look at different ways of writing experimental performative scores and creating group compositions.
