Rinsing: Constructing fiction from autobiography
Craft
Workshop
Adults only
Event organiser:
Transform

The body as work and destiny. What do I have to say? Could I use fiction to help it? Where does autobiography begin, enter, exit, end?

This workshop investigates the possibilities of constructing fiction from autobiographical elements and the idea of the divided self.

Led by choreographers and artists Amrita Hepi and Bakani Pick-Up, experiment with making work from historical obsessions, post-colonial narratives, dance and images.

As well as movement and physical languages, we’ll explore research and writing as starting points, bringing together dance and text.

Together we’ll probe the limits that are established between reality and fiction, between performance and theatre, the evident and the hidden, intimacy and exposure, the imaginary and memory, from personal poetics that combine the role of author, narrator and performer.
