Workshop “Me for dinner”
“Me for Dinner” explores the possibilities of modulating presence: playing with body and vocal performance in the encounter with the other. We will explore the performative act as an anthropophagic moment of exchange, where the audience devours our potentialities and fragilities, creating new bridges for the exchange of subjectivities. Through improvisation and composition exercises, participants will focus on the tension between body, voice and identity.
