Belinda Mitchell: score for movement
The workshop will use methods and approaches to combine performance and inscriptive gestures, exploring a practice at the edge of the ephemeral and the material, that addresses ideas about scores, scripts and documents, as well as collaborative process. The workshop involves looking at bodies with books, inventing a grammar for actions, writing motion, moving text, and spacing thought on and off the page.
