Performative wakefulness
Through this workshop, Ferlin primarily wants to research the notions of working on the performer's body by offering participants a reversal of established ideas about performer's presence, stage movement those that prevail within the so-called classical theatrical or dance process. He will offer ways and methods that will help the participant to work on the state of complete performative wakefulness and to be able to listen to the overgrowth of the silence that's springing out of a still/moving body once it has been placed in a performative context.
