About

During individual and collective engagements we will explore "Creative under Limitation", a notion that derives from Astrit Ismaili’s artistic practice.

The participants are guided to research fictional, historical and personal subjects that use creativity to overcome a certain limitation, whether physical or geo-political, etc. This process entails generating and researching fictional and historical material as references for "world" and character building and embodiment. The students will generate performative material using specific methods and embody the material collectively. The aim is to understand the complexity of making a performance or a performative work.

The course will include physical exercises and movement, music composition and making sound, rituals and transformation, researching and writing. Another element is testing the limits of the voice as musical instrument and identifying its political agency and how it relates to society and contemporary art.
The outcome of these courses will be structured into a group performance that will be shared with the public or within the group.

Course leader

Astrit Ismaili

Target group

The workshop is tailored for students who are interested to develop a performative practice or just have an experience with performance. The participants are expected to work individually and collectively. Since it is a performative workshop there need to be openness to engage in physically but also intellectually.

Course aim

The workshop aims to help the participants to explore their performative potential and individual expressiveness in relation to performance and gender roles. Working collectively and individually the students will have the chance to exchange knowledge and understand the importance of a community in the nature of this kind of work.
