Workshop
Join UK-based performance artist Krishna Istha for a workshop that explores how artists and performers can craft autobiographical, genre-pushing works. Participants will delve into idea-generating exercises, examining the use of personal experiences to shape stories, experimenting with form and structure, and will be encouraged to create their own material. Drawing on the week of open research and development for Second Trimester at Season Gallery, participants are encouraged to drop into the making process during the week of Feb 5th before attending the workshop.
This workshop is limited to 8 people.
