Future Bodies
|
Imaginations of the future have something paradoxical within. They are aiming towards a time to come but are produced in the past. Saved in our memories of visionary images communicated through novels, films, documentaries and other forms of speculations of what the present times could become. Science Fiction allows us a glance into the everyday life of tomorrow and gives us an opportunity to reflect on it. In this mode, Science Fiction tells us more about our present then it does about our future. When looking at contemporary visions in movies and TV series, we also see reflections of the hopes and fears we are confronted with today. These visions become guidelines for our actions and performances that will somehow be inscribed in our body’s in a mysterious and undefinable way. During the five days we want to explore the role of the body in the future. How can we envision our body imaginations in comparison to our current perception of time and while at the same time reflecting on the way we live our everyday life today? Drawing from methods of storytelling, biographical theatre and movement, this workshop will focus on the body, performance and how to re-imagine the world. Combining contemporary art, theatre and performance practices, students will work on visualising and reconfiguring possible futures.
