Table talks | 11.00 | 1 Your body determines how you experience art. How we experience and perceive performance as audience members does not only depend on the performance itself. The experience is also affected by our own body, our surroundings and the before and after effects of a show. Why is it important to be aware of these factors? 1a with Jess Curtis (USA), English only PDF Tabletalk 1a Your body determines how you experience art 1b with Alex Oberholzer (CH), in German and French PDF Tischgespräch 1b Dein Körper entscheidet wie du Kunst erlebst 2 Disabled people make more exciting art! 3 Positions of cultural leadership are not meant for disabled people. The arts sector and the cultural sector are built in a way that makes holding positions of power harder for disabled people. In Switzerland, for example, disabled people hold next to no positions of cultural leadership. What is behind this? Are there no qualified people? What needs to change? 3a with Kate Marsh (GB), English only Tabletalk 3a Positions of cultural leadership are not meant for disabled people 3b with Tanja Erhart (A/GB), in German and French Tischgespräch 3b Kulturelle Leitpositionen sind nicht für Menschen mit Behinderung gedacht |

Active participation in three formats | 14.50 | 1 Jo Bannon (GB) Describing Mystery Workshop, English only In this workshop we will explore the creative possibilities of Audio Description as a generative tool for making and experiencing performance. We will look at singularities of how we individually see, what we believe, and the imaginative gap between what we see and what we can say. Participants will work with materials, improvisation, text and description to complicate perspective, unpick illusion, and produce mystery. This workshop forms part of Bannon’s early research into a new project around vision, mystery and faith.
3 Theater HORA (CH) The focus of the workshop is the ongoing project ‘Freie Republik HORA’ of the Zurich theatre HORA. A short introduction and some performed scenes, staged by HORA performer Gianni Blumer, give insight into the different phases of this theatre experiment. This short performance will also provide the basis to try out different formats of interactive audience talks developed as part of ‘Freie Republik HORA’ and in cooperation with the SNF research project ‘DisAbility on Stage’ at the Institute for the Performing Arts and Film of ZHdK. The following questions will be addressed: How do we talk about what we see? Who is talking? Who leads the discussion? And what non-language-based formats can shape the discourse? |
