review of performances, workshops, lectures and the symposium at the Technical University of Dresden

A full programme awaited us, which was very demanding in its entirety. The perfor­mances of the invited artists* preceded the workshops, so that the workshop parti­cipants* got an impression of the artistic approach of the artists* with whom they would work in the coming week.
The two workshops with all parti­cipants* were extremely intensive and very challenging and enriching for all involved. There were parti­cipants who wanted impulses for their daily teaching routine, but personal experiences were also in the foreground. Each workshop was accom­panied by a student who assisted as an assistant, partly taking part in the workshops and keeping a detailed record of the progress. Marie-Luise Lange will process these protocolls into a publi­cation.

The advanced training event (symposium) was for teachers, trainee teachers and artistic teachers from other fields. It aimed to «experience, test and reflect on contem­porary strategies for the mediation of performance art in eight workshops conducted by renowned inter­na­tional performance artists». (Quote from the call for proposals) The approaches in the workshops were very different. A day's break between the two workshops would have been very welcome, so that workshop leaders, assistants and parti­cipants could take a break from their experiences and prepare for the next workshop in a relaxed exchange.

Performance and Perfor­ma­tivity in Art, Education and Research - Symposium.
The one-day conference aims to present and discuss research results of young scientists on the artistic, scientific and pedagogical signi­ficance of performance and perfor­ma­tivity. The conference will focus on an exami­nation of the concept and the modes of action of the perfor­mative in areas of educa­tional, cultural and theatre studies, art, media and cultural education, political and cultural education as well as aesthetics and philosophy.
Lectures by inter­na­tional scholars* from the fields of art, theatre, museum and cultural education, art, cultural, dance and theatre studies, educa­tional science, urban performance studies, design, aesthetics and philosophy, who in their research deal with the charac­te­ristics of the perfor­mative approach to the world: "Perfor­ma­tivity as a state of mind" - Marie-Luise Lange "Future on trial? - Eva Plischke, Fundus­theater Hamburg "Being Affected and Forming. On the transfer of queer­fe­minist theory to an educa­tional theory of the collective aesthetic situation" - Bernadett Settele "How to address politics of the sensible in parti­ci­patory performance practice? - Ass.
