Performance Art Workshop

This workshop explores performance art as a radical connection between visual and performing arts. The focus is on the body as an artistic medium—through improvisation, sensory experiences, and engagement with physical and psychological boundaries. Historical references such as Dadaism and contemporary artists like Marina Abramović serve as inspiration.

On the first day, body and voice exercises, object work, and an introduction to Aeschylus’ Oresteia will be covered. The second day is dedicated to practical implementation: participants develop their own role interpretations and collectively create a performance as a shared composition. An optional third meeting may include a public presentation and discussion.

The workshop is aimed at experimental-minded individuals with an interest in body-based art. Prior knowledge is helpful but not required. The maximum number of participants is eight. The workshop is led by Themida Jo, an experienced director-artist and founder of Acting Studio 31 in Athens.
