Workshop /səˈvaɪvər/ with the D’epog group

The students investigated strategies of survival and adaptation using physical and imaginative exercises and they addressed the question of the extent to which discomfort, loss of the sense of safety or leaving the comfort zone could become a creative impulse.

The workshop facilitated a possibility to familiarize oneself with the basics of acting and performance training techniques - from the origin of the psychophysical impulse to the articulation and fixation of the gesture. The core of the training lied in development of working with energy, attention, inner concentration and the conscious presence of the body in space.

The contents of the workshop were not only practical, it included a group reflection, a discussion and a screening of a curated selection of audiovisual inspiration materials. The workshop allowed the students to understand the artistic practice of the D’epog group, which are based on principles of dramaturgy of space, performance art and a philosophy of the sovereign artistic statement.
