Maktaba: Performance as is, Performing with Yoonsik Chico Park

Maktaba is 421’s monthly gathering dedicated to collective reading, viewing, and discussion across disciplines. This session moves from thinking about performance to thinking through it – using the body, space, gesture, and relationality as sites for inquiry.

Through a combination of discussion, readings, and performance-based activities, participants will move between theory and practice, translate ideas into gestures, actions, scores, interactions, and durational exercises, as well as explore how meaning is created through the act of performing. The seminar will culminate in a series of shared exercises that invite participants to leave their mark through performance while reflecting on what performance can reveal, disrupt, or make possible within our social and cultural contexts.

Lunch will be provided.
