| Inhalte | Is it possible that the body becomes an author, or it is just the mind constantly giving meaning or pathologising every single desire, affect or action of the body? This course is inspired by the historical form of the carnival and its relation to the grotesque. During the carnival period, the usual prohibitions and restrictions that regulate social life are lifted, giving way to a kind of counterculture. During carnival, the body takes agency and expands to incorporate all its physiological, emotional and discursive needs. By identifying and extrapolating the elements and concepts that constitute the carnivalesque and integrating them into our artistic practice, this workshop will stimulate, examine and explore the creative potential of our moving body – enabling us to experience the body in an unfinished, provisional state of constant ‘becoming’, oscillating between de- and reconstruction. We will approach the world of carnival and the grotesque by way of task-led, thematic exercises focusing on such themes as laughter, the erotic, disharmony, penance, the sacred and the profane, employing objects, texts, and above all movement. Within the frame of the workshop’s transversal activity, participants are invited to create little events, either improvised or fixed. Any specific expression, demonstration, cultural manifestation, ritual act or installation may qualify as an ‘event’. We will reflect on the notion of carnival as counterculture in the 21st century and try to perceive the carnivalesque in contemporary society. Is there still a social need for subversion? |
