The Art of Performance - workshop invitation

THE ART OF PERFORMANCE @ The Exchange, Princes Street, Penzance TR18 2NL

Wednesdays, 9th November - 7th December, 6-8pm.

A series of five practical classes, led by Biljana Lipic, investigating and documenting the use of the artist’s body as art.

The sessions will involve exercises that can prepare the body for a performance based activity as well as explorative, improvisation and game-like structures, done both indoors and outdoors, that can inspire creative enquiry and also serve as a raw material for the photographic and video documenting of the body-centered art.

Reflection and sharing will be incorporated, which at times will be channelled through drawing, writing as well as group discussion.

£10 per session.

Booking and advance payment is essential for these courses. Email bookings@newlynartgallery.co.uk or call the gallery on 01736 363715

And, as we softly spread along this permeable boundary, our breathing, now via the skin pores, begins to expand and relax too. At that moment, I begin to feel a pull towards the darkness of the inner caves and caverns of our bodies – the deeper intimacy. I turn to the inner eye, the senses that ' see' in the dark. And within this realm of imagination, but also simply bodily knowing, I begin to track, not only shapes, but also the core impulses of our movement. I continue to sense, although that sense has now become a full-bodied feeling. I half or even fu...
