The Body and the Poetics of Space.
In this experimental performance art workshop, we will direct our attention to the body and its living relationship with space. We will focus on the human body as the main means of creation and use the surroundings as activators of small stories and visual images. Through guided exercises, body practices, mindfulness techniques, active listening and art prompts, participants will use their body to establish dialogues with the space-architecture, objects, people, nature to turn the body into the support of the art work. No experience with performance art needed.

Adriana Rondón
I am a visual and performance artist from Caracas, Venezuela, living in California. I use my body, photography, video and poetry to tell stories. My work is about my healing journey and my connection with my surroundings. I am interested in using performances and poetic actions that use movement, elements of the plastic arts and technological resources as means of expression. My work is influenced by dance, yoga and my meditations. I am interested in community, people and the social fabric of the city, and incorporating these elements in my artistic work. I use the streets as my stage and allow the participation of the spectators in my work.
