TELE VISIONS 2016
workshop at ISAC Brussels
workshop at ISAC Brussels
In an attempt to include chance and other contingencies in the work, to destabilize power relations based on linear logics and to question the effect of belief and make belief in a performative environment. Can we create the magic by creating the rules for the magic to happen? Like an "Experimental Magic" without magicians. Is it possible to empower an object, a person, a situation through speculation and prediction?
The workshop will propose other notions of autorship and collaboration. The aim is to question the idea of responsability and ego in a creation process, and to work with possible speculations of audience's expectation: in between the artist's desire and the audience's desire. The notion of "thirdness" is used by Manente and Simoes to create a space of dialogue and experimentation.
During the workshop Manente and Simoes propose an embodiment of three roles present in their protocol of "telepathy": the performers, the audience and the writers/artists. In each role there is a topic to unfold: expectation and participation of the audience, the power of language in a performative environment and the (de)responsibility of the performer. The dispositive offers the possibility to create a third existence which is "a self", "an entity" other than us, with own quality and ability to perform.
