about
WRITING
In this camp you will focus on expressive writing in many different forms. You can decide to write in your mother tongue or in English. Through different topics ("desire", "rave", "unity", "silence"...), you will have the opportunity to explore different types of poetry and prose styles, as well as responding to literature, quotes, immersive experiences, and music. Strategies to develop your own style, personal aesthetic, to avoid "writer’s block" and the "fear of the white page" will be addressed. Participating in philosophy and literature classes, immersive rituals, movement experiences will give you space and time to discover authors, get inspired by their work, debate on ideas, develop critical thinking.
PERFORMING TEXTS AND WORDS
You will also regularly read your texts, and create a lecture performance or sound poetry piece. You will investigate the use of dialogue, texts, words to influence and enhance performance, whether it is dance or physical theatre. We will shortly trace the history of choreographers and visual artists using narrative texts, speech, prose, drama, poetry, or introducing abstract words, voice into their works. We discuss the model of language and linguistics within dance and performance from a structuralist and post-structuralist concept, challenge the connection between language and body, text and movement.
PUBLIC LECTURE
The last day we travel together to Budapest, and make a public reading of our texts in the ISBN Art Gallery+Bookshop.
PUBLICATION
Following the camp, if you give us permission, your texts will be published online.
