Inhabiting Time
with Marilyn Arsem
At the heart of this workshop is the question of how to continue making live art in a world that is more often pre-recorded, edited and virtual. What remains essential? What can we give up? What can we transform? Working with everyday materials and actions, participants will engage in a series of exercises to examine their experience and understanding of time. While these exercises were designed for artists creating durational performances, the insights gained in understanding how time operates in one's life can be effectively applied to other practices.

WRITE / PERFORM
with Emily Orley
This course explored writing as and about performance art. It is aimed at practitioners who use writing as part of their work, as well as those who need inspiration when writing about their own, or another artist’s work. Through a series of structured discussions and a number of writing tasks, we will experiment with how to write as/about/alongside performance art: your own or someone else’s. We will explore what might come first: the performance or the text, body or language. We will experiment with form and content.
We will explore relationships between text-based work and other media and discourses. The overarching aim of the course is to inspire students to get writing as part of their own practice in innovative and generative ways.
