Live Performance Practice with Ming Hon (Part III)

Wednesdays, September 30, October 28 and November 25, 2015, 7-9:30pm at MAWA

What exactly does live art look like? Like any other medium, performance is extremely diverse and can have many applications. This Mini-Mentorship will explore the spectrum of live performance and performance art. It will also be active, offering tools for creation using the body and props, and will include discussion and critique. Each participant will be encouraged to create performance studies to share with the others (a performance is not a performance unless there is an audience). All artists interested in incorporating performance into their work (in any medium) are invited to participate. Using the body (one’s own or another’s) in a performative setting is an action that can be both personal and political. Come experiment and expand your practice!
