I would like to propose to make a test version of Everybodys Venue, a magazine that attempts to function as a theater venue. The idea would be to explore and practically experiment with the production of a “magazine performance” or possibly several performances. (Please see attachment for further explanation)
As we have only little time together, I propose that everybody brings a work that they specifically would like to adapt into a magazine performance. Working with preexisting materials would facilitate not having to invent an original content, but rather examining how a work can be readapted to another format; how specific formats of performance can allow other aspects of an already existing performance to appear. It could be a performance of your own, something you would like to re-question, re-develop or in case you have not already made work you can always borrow a ready made.
I would like to set up a discussion forum for what the specificity of magazine performance can be? As I have not yet done this myself we will have to define together the stakes of the project + we can develop it according to our specific needs and desires as a group.
As we will be dealing with preexisting materials, we will hopefully develop techniques of transposing from one medium to another, through descriptions, interviews, image series, comments, scores, scripts, methods, reflections, audience reactions and so on.
We will have to print the magazine ourselves! So part of the workshop will also have to do with operating in-design or other ways of thinking layout and presentation.
For the work shop please bring:
-a work you would like to readapt
-a computer if you have one
-other technical devises that might assist us, like recording devices, cameras and so on.
