Let’s imagine art as discourse. This frame immediately evokes notions such as vocabulary, syntax, grammar, rhetoric and so on. Which frames do we use making art or experiencing art? What do these frames place centre stage, what do they leave out? Let’s play a game, what if we start shifting frames? Through this game, what is excluded and what included, what becomes visible and what disappears out of the frame?
Ideally, the workshop functions as a horizontal space where experiences, practices, and strategies are exchanged helping us to become more precise about what dramaturgy is for each of us individually and what forms of dramaturgy suit each one of us.
The workshop starts from the belief in the collective and diverse context as a place for the development of new ideas to enrich individual artistic trajectories. It is open to practitioners of various artistic disciplines.
