The workshop explores potentials of performative arts in reconstructing, portraying and representing the embodied experience of war. The first part, led by Nena Mocnik will focus on collecting testimonies by survivors with the help of different dramatic tools and body expressions, using movement, voice and visual portrayals. Participants will learn about the importance of non-verbal expression in researching a body as a testifier and bearer of trauma.
In the second part, Aimée Mica Ntuli will lead participants through the performance arts as a format of creating physicality and emotions of the character in war. Participants will engage in a few exercises to see how the environment affects one's body and how to become increasingly aware of your own body. The focus will be on modes of portraying war on stage with the aim of submersing the viewer in the experience, as opposed to a voyeuristic approach, as well as on the reason for this choice.
