Live Works is a body space time extracurricular project open to Rietveld Academie students.
To explore, impovise, compose with: space / time / body / light / material / sound / movement / audience / each other
To explore from all senses: touch / smell / balance / hearing / taste / sight
To move and shift between:
head / heart / hands
mind / feeling / senses
why / how / what
overview / empathy / contact
association / memory / sensation
audience / image / maker
contrast / chance / repetition
rhyme / rhythm / rest
to start with a warm-up to expand sensory awareness
to explore anatomy in movement, like the anatomy of vision
to allow for time to include sensing, feeling, thinking
to sense the specific qualities of the space (inside or outside)
to establish a relation with space, with yourself, then with the other
to follow your sensory intelligence and improvise directly in space
to shift between moving in, moving out, composing
to allow for surprise, chance, change
to create together in the moment
to reflect on your experiences and the experience of others
to give each other feedback in non-verbal and verbal ways
to compose out of these explorations a work that meets an audience
to experience how an audience influences, focuses and co-creates a work
to mark: empty space - defined space time - empty space
To bring these experiences, knowledge, skills into your individual work
