Participation as an Artistic Practice
Workshop with Micaela Kühn Jara
as part of the symposium
This workshop is aimed at dance artists who work with participatory processes or wish to do so, who lead workshops, or who integrate interactive elements into their stage work. Dramaturgs, curators, programme planners and anyone wishing to explore this approach in greater depth from an artistic or conceptual perspective are also welcome.
The workshop combines physical practice with dramaturgical reflection. Micaela Kühn Jara shares choreographic and dramaturgical tools from a variety of working contexts: from touring productions in schools and the adaptation of existing works into participatory formats to fully interactive stage pieces and workshop formats.
Participants are welcome to bring a project idea, a project in development, or questions regarding outreach, dramaturgy or programming practice to be addressed during the workshop.
location: Kulturzentrum LUISE
