TRANS*PERFORMATIVITY WORKSHOP
This workshop is aimed at trans* people, but open to everyone, with or without artistic training, interested in exploring notions of identity and fluid states of the body. Its duration can be between 3 to 6 hours across 1 or 2 days.
How to history and transpose our experience? In a first phase, we will resort to processes of internalisation and self-discovery. And then transform our memory into movement - of the body, of words, of objects - while deconstructing and restructuring who we are.
A safe space will be provided where each participant can share and/or listen to different experiences, elaborate their life story and transcribe it into an artistic contribution using different materials and materialities.
This event is intended to be economically and physically accessible, in this way it's ideal to be free of charge or through a pay-what-you-can system, as well necessary to implement measures that properly welcome people with reduced mobility.
Until now, this workshop has happened at Festival de Poesia de Lisboa (October 2022) and Rua das Gaivotas 6 (February 2023).
