This project examines the themes that emerge from the word "resilience" through the use of live performance art. Each letter of the word "resilience" is assigned specific words which will be allotted to participants. The workshop uses performance-driven creative writing and conceptualization, working with the body, voice, and sound to explore the concept of resilience. Over a three-week period, participants will learn about live performance art history and use movement, words, sound, and objects to explore the body as a means of communication. The project focuses on the body as a mode of communication with minimal use of objects and live action performances. It culminates in a performance on resilience, aimed to promote live performance art with a visual arts background.
