Improvisation Performance Workshop with David Lakein (Berlin/Chicago)
Presented by thefidget space February 14, 2012 Improvisation Performance Workshop
What is presence? Can a body be neutral? When do transitions happen; do they exist? Why do we sometimes feel lost in space, empty of inspiration? How does our body awareness and mind consciousness change when being watched?
These questions accompany us on our afternoon outings as we investigate the compositional options available to us while improvising, especially when we feel overwhelmed by input and stumble upon the unfamiliar.... |

ImageLab (Composition) Workshop with David Lakein (Berlin/Chicago)
Presented by thefidget space February 15, 2012 ImageLab
Composition Workshop
Making images throughout the afternoon—either quickly with reckless abandon or slowly with careful consideration—we experiment with elements such as movement, action, voice and object. The frame of our making process varies greatly as we continuously engage with these questions:
What is an image? How many distinct components does an image have? Where are the boundaries of an image; when does it begin, end?

Confidence is Not a Four-Letter Word
Presented by Paradigm Gallery + Studio at Paradigm Gallery + Studio January 27-February 18, 2012 It is a common theme for artists to never be fully satisfied with their work. Even if we find ourselves feeling confident, we do not want to appear arrogant, so we go through the game of being overly humble when receiving compliments and sometimes even cut up our own work. As a part of this group exhibition of exclusively University of the Arts Alumni, all artists involved have submitted a piece that, with confidence, each can say, “I am proud of this.”
Confidence is... |
