After the Chamber Performance Festival (June) and before the summer holiday, The Institution of Performance offers one more proposal- the collaboration between Siegmar Zacharias (RO/Berlin) and Adriana Gheorghe (RO) in the form of a 7-day intensive performance workshop, 3 days per week/2 weeks, and the last one open to the public.
How can we learn from each other, from material, from shared practices about offering our bodies of work and bodies of flesh as resonant spaces for others? How can we collectively build a toolkit for social transformation? Bring a practice you want to share, a beginning of something, an end, a proposal that calls for you, and let's listen to each other, rehearsing shared response-ability.
As an implicit critique of the lack of such an institution and a plea in favor of the power of performance to institute the structures we need, The Institution of Performance is a background gesture that turns all participants into protagonists, while preserving something of the tidal movement of a way of being together unprescribed from outside, respecting the individual need for difference, dissensus, and continuous rearticulation. Its texture is acoustic, aural and reflexive.
𝗦𝗶𝗲𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗿 𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘀 is a performance maker, researcher, curator. She explores the politics of alienation and intimacy in embodied thinking/being with matter and matters in collaborations with humans and non-humans. She teaches internationally and is a regular guest lecturer at DOCH Stockholm, HZT Berlin, Bard College Berlin. Since 1993 she has been working on non-violent communication strategies with workers' representatives. She has a Phd on "EROTICS OF GRIEVES. Somacoustic listening towards visceral accountability" from Roehampton University on a AHRC TECHNE scholarship.
𝗔𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗚𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗵𝗲 works with performance, poetry, grave theory and speculative pedagogy, at their margin. From within the artistic practice she curates processes and constellations researching new modes of transmission and co-existence (Durational Life Theory, Imagine Human, Teatre/Theatres, Sublunar and The Institution of Performance). Collaborated with CESI, theatres, galleries and Punch for the "False Hours" artist book.
The Institution of Performance (June-October) is a program curated by artist Adriana Gheorghe, produced by Teatre/Theatres in collaboration with PETEC and co-financed by AFCN.
