Workshop : The Interactive Body
Artist : João Costa (SWAP)
Country : Portugal

(Lab/workshop)

In this workshop, a space will be created to explore and reveal the body as language:
“My thinking body but also my sensitive and perceptive body” / “the body as a surface and an interface between the inside and the outside.”

We will focus on the notion of composition in real-time not only as a creative process but also as a potential performance in real-time creation.

The interactive body is able to act or react in response to the information perceived from the reality that surrounds us, or /and from our inside world ( like the interaction between two human bodies).

At the end of the workshop, there will be an informal presentation/ and discussion meeting about the results.

You can watch Joao Costa’s dance performance at Çatı Dance Studio, on Saturday, April the 22nd, at 7 pm in the SWAP piece.
