PAS | Performance Art Studies #50 | roots in motion
4. - 12. November 2016 / Oslo, Norway
in cooperation with PAO - Performance Art Oslo and KHiO - Oslo National Academy of the Arts

Led by BBB Johannes Deimling (http://bbbjohannesdeimling.de/)
and guest teacher Vivian Chinasa Ezugha (http://vcezugha.wixsite.com/work-in-progress)

max. 12 participants

Explore visual arts and performance in Oslo!
Our goal is first and foremost to provide a high quality of teaching. We do not throw the famous names to catch your attention, we invite guests who can offer something valuable to enrich the process.

Participants are meant to take up the challenge to study the given topic in many possible ways. During these Studies we will be confronted with the research field „roots in motion”, that is inspired by Nicolas Bourriaud’s book “The Radicant” where we seek to investigate the artist as nomad, wanderer, refugee, migrant, expatriate, visitor, traveller, observer and connector.

We perceive the world in which we are living full of change, turmoil and movement, but ever since humans have been in motion in need to find better living conditions. Nature catastrophes, wars, plagues and earth quakes are moving people around the world. What we connect with the meaning of roots is a temporary concept and an illusion since it seems everything is motion. Having roots does not mean to be stuck at one place. How can we move our roots to other places in order to create artistic fruits in an unknown place?

The Studies will be very intense, filled with practical and theoretical exercises and tasks.
Following the topic of PAS #50 we will research different performance art practices and create an experimental setting in which we will work towards an individual and/or collective performance work which will be presented as part of the opening of PAO - Performance Art Oslo Festival 2016.

SCHEDULE
3. November 2016 arrival (without official meeting)
4. – 11. November 2016: practical studies and researches
11. November 2016: final presentation as part of the opening of PAO Festival
12. November 2016: reflection and possible departure day, if not attending the festival (departure at earliest at 4pm)
11. -13. November 2016: PAO Festival

Our program is never planned in advance with exact steps. We adjust it to the group dynamics, challenges of an individual and needs that pop up. Observing the process is the key to achieve high quality of teaching enriched by our experience and ever - expanding great collection of tasks.
