Defibrillator Performance Art Gallery
Chicago, IL

Share this event:

A three day workshop based on SUKA OFF's experience with performing in vastly different spaces - from traditional theaters to "white cube" galleries to fetish clubs. Participants will explore relationships between the body, the space and various media. They will also translate ideas into visual language, explore narratives, and embrace dynamics. The goal of the workshop is not to look inside oneself, but to step outside and look at one's work from another perspective; to raise the performer's awareness of how different media and environments can change the perception of the performance and how to control the body when it is combined with different devices or another performer. Participants will work individually but will also be active viewers of other participants work in order to better understand how their own work is perceived.

Space is limited to 10 participants. Performances created during the workshop will be documented and every participant will receive a DVD. The workshop is open to artist from every discipline: performing arts, visual arts and anyone interested in creative work.

SUKA OFF is a POLISH artist collective existing since 1995. The members of SUKA OFF are PIOTR WEGRZYNSKI (founder, visual artist, and performer) and SYLVIA LAJBIG (classical philologist, performer). They have been creating work across visual theatre, performance art, club action, installation, photography, video art and music visuals. SUKA OFF's work has been presented in theaters, art galleries, clubs and festivals in most EUROPEAN countries, as well as in CANADA, USA, ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, CHILE, MEXICO and JAPAN. For over 10 years they have been lecturing and leading workshops in POLAND and abroad.
