MOOC #9
The centre on stage or the stage on centre
Objective
How to run a sequence of public performative and physical exercises, developing a barely perceptible performance among the usual routine in the very main centre of the city of Évora. π PI – Projecto de Investigação from Ana Silveira Ferreira used to develop its performative and aesthetical journey, based on Time, Wait, Reality of bottom rank, Duration, Difference and repetition conceptualization. With this Mooc we propose: “Film #1 Prologue, thematic and purpose” (with PI´s short presentation), “Film #2 Zero workshop” (with some images/ideas about how to create an exercise and some short testimonies) and “Film #3 The centre on stage or the stage on centre, the videoperformance” (with a final session of work recorded in a public space – Roman Temple Garden, along sunrise).
