Call for participation
As one of the partners in the ENPARTS project, Bitef Theatre organizes an art workshop called BODY IS WHAT REMAINS to be held in Belgrade from 14th to 27th June 2010.
The first art workshop within the ENPARTS project, called THE ELECTRIC BODY, was held in Venice in 2009. This second one aims at establishing the cooperation between artists from various European countries who would work together in order to develop a chosen topic.
This year’s campus is thematically connected to the nineties, the Balkan conflicts and the collapse of former Yugoslavia or, to be more precise, it explores the topic of body in war conflicts and in the period of transition – the period in which the country moves from one social system to another – from communism to capitalism.
The workshop, in the broadest sense, deals with the topic of human freedom and the lack of it, as well as with the level to which one is preconditioned with political, social and economic mechanisms within which one lives.
After any conflict, after any discourse, after any thought … body is what remains.
Body full or hungry, aggressive or motionless, free or limited…
The topics of the workshop are:
1) Body in war conflicts
2) Body in isolation
3) Body of rave and deceptive freedom
Campus will be held in Belgrade (Serbia). The working language is English.
The call is open for directors, choreographers, dancers, composers, actors, musicians, video artists and multimedia artists.
There is no cost to the participants for attending the campus (all the costs, including travel, accommodation and the participation fees, will be covered by the ENPARTS project).
