Luisa Barreto und Miro Wallner

Cartographies of Movement is an invitation for opening new paths in artistic and self-writing

The 4-day workshop, developed by cultural scientist and dramaturge Luisa Barreto together with performer Miro Wallner, is targeted at performing artists looking to bridge the gap between an artistic expression and the written word. Using different mind maps and diagrams as tools for artistic writing, the goal is to strengthen self-confidence by opening up the map of questions and demands that inspire the participants' creative and writing processes. Moving through the different types of text (project, research, portfolio), as well as expanding or unfolding new projects, together we will delve into the translation zone between movement and speech.

On 2.12 a performance lecture will be given by Luisa and Miro to open up the methods and elements used for artistic exchange to a wider audience.

Workshop von 28.11.2023 bis 01.12.2023 (from 4pm to 8pm)
