Themomentwhenanappleistooheavyandhastofalldowntotheground is researching the notion, perception and use of time based processes in a context of a performance work. We will question this moment of in between, the intensified dialogue between the ´just before´ and the ´right after´. Often we use poetry to explain these moments.ï¿œ But what will remain and leave traces and how could it be possible to modulate this by using tools like long- or short duration, repetition or detail shots?

The use of material in Performance Art is very open and often marked by the specific articulation of this art form. Material has symbolic character, which is needed for to underline the act or the gesture of the artist. In connection with the body, or the figure material changes often the meaning. ï¿œAs performance artists we are highly attracted to objects, because we are able to create traces through them, we are able to visualize abstract ideas and make them directly touchable. An object allows us to extend our body and imagination.

This workshop will focus on the supportive and enriching aspect of objects within a performance. So how do I decide what is the best matching object for my idea? What is the specific characteristic of an object and where are potential traps during the use?

We are looking for a complete practical approach to all these questions and want to invite you to explore your personal material which support your own artistically language. Not every nice object is a good object for a performance. So where is the difference?

*PASyouth shift

11. -20th of February

In cooperation with tjg. theater junge generation (http://www.tjg-dresden.de/) / Dresden, (Germany)

Open Call!

Only 5 places left!

(Please note: A PASyouth project is addressed to young people between 15 – 21years old and the workshop will be in german)

Shift is focusing on certain times of changes and transitions, like the period of growing from a teenager to an adult or the crossing line from life into death. Death and youth are representing a time with the feeling of a massive uncertainty in all our actions. Everything seems in a liminal state and it’s quite likely that we even lose the notion of our self as a person.

* PAScompact / as a new study format

PAScompact is a new format from PAS which is especially addressed to art academies and universities in cultural contexts. PAScompact is intended to last between 3 and 5 days and provides a unique form of teaching all around the basic topics of Performance Art.

One of these compact formats is „What is important?“ and focuses on a biographical and personal approach in an art process in general. Here we try to transform personal values into signs, movements or images; so we create art works which are accessible for more than one person from more than one culture.

PAScompact was already successfully realized in cooperation with Guangzhou Live11 (curated by Jonas Stampe) and the Guangzhou Art Academy for fine Arts (China) and will be at the Satakunta university for applied sciences / Kankaanpￜￜ (Finland) in January and at the TEAK academy / Helsinki (Finland) in march 2012.

* PAS notes

PASfeatures a duo performance by Patricia Correa & Liesje van den Berk

ￜ

Haan galo - haan galoï¿œis a duo-performance of Patrï¿œcia Corrï¿œa and Liesje van den Berk about relation, game and control. The eye connection is an important part of our work. Two persons are connected in their own game… a voice without sound and a powerful profound bond. We also use subtle elements to communicate our game with the audience. For example the metronome, that marks the pulse of the game. The sound communicated with the audience this intimate game that we were playing.
Eye contact that never breaks, increasing emotions, control, breathing, control, fight, control, friendship, control, tears, control and more breathing… We talk with the eyes!
