Together with Krupa Art Foundation, we are pleased to announce an open call for participation in the creation of an original performance project by artist Wiktoria in collaboration with artist and choreographer Beatrix Joyce.
Traces is a performance based on the concept of reinstalling our connection with the natural environment through physical interaction with biological matter. The performance will be conceived in areas once marked by humans but now regained by nature – the abandoned allotment gardens in Lublin, Poland.
The artists will jointly develop a concept for a previously created choreography which focused on the interaction of bodies and plants. The performance is to be realised with a diverse group of 5 guest participants selected from this open call. We address it to everyone interested in the subject, who wants to experiment with the body movement and participate in artistic collaboration with Beatrix Joyce and Wiktoria.
Participants should agree and feel at ease in front of a camera and performing with their skin. Nudity is not a requirement. We do not require any prior dance or theatrical experience, rather a desire to develop a piece focused on the body and movement. The participants should agree to take part in the full-time workshops between July 5th and 11th in Lublin. The project will be conducted in English.
The final outcome of the workshop will be a video performance to be presented in various venues with a premiere at Krupa Art Foundation in Wrocław. All the detailed info can be found here.
As a reference, you can have a look on the previous realisations of Wiktoria which were based on the concept of Traces:
