9hrs Introdüction to Performätive Writing
(advanced courses will follow)

January 8th, 2015 ::::::::: From 11am – 8pm

Facilitäted by Teena Lange
The Course will be in English

Performative Writing or Creative Critical Writing is claimed to be, in itself, a form of performance, often taking as its subject a work of visual art or performance art. The core of this workshop is to develop sensitization for textures and the practice of taking the time to do the doing.

Entering into performative writing allows the re/activation of the wording & being less paralyzed by the empty page, breaking through the trained fixation of meaning seeking structures of texts. Everyone can write. This workshop allows you to take time to experience another writing practice or develop one if you don’t currently have an active writing practice.

Through a series of exercises the workshop will deal with linguistic matters, performative utterances, writing styles, the playground of proverbs, documentation dots & lines, various mechanisms of memory and referentiality, readership & queer quality management.

Who can/could participate ::::::::: people, artists, performance artists, writers, students, mucisians, bloggers, non-writers, curators, academics, philosophers, life witnesses … There is späce for a maximum of 11 participants.

Dedicated to the limited edition APAB Publication: Nussknacker müssen sich keine goldene Nase verdienen {On Obtrusive Communal Speculations}
