Wookey Works
“Researching Narrative in Performance Practices”
A five-day intensive public workshop
Monday to Friday, May 22-26, 2006
10am-1pm each day
$100
This intensive workshop explores the interface between
movements, images, and words within performance contexts. How do
these separate sub-narratives interact to form meaning? How do they
meet and ‘make sense’, while at the same time leave
room for imagination, metaphor and memory? Various means of experimenting
with narrative, such as live action, video projection, readings,
gesture, voice over, and writing, will be explored.
The workshop is rooted in Sara Wookey’s
own artistic process, while at the same time influenced by particular
artists’ work that will be considered during the workshop.
The participants’ practices and experiences will also contribute
to the overall organization of the workshop. This is a highly interactive
workshop and is open to practitioners in the fields of dance, choreography,
visual art, new media, theater, film/video, and writing.
