Performance Lab 17-21/12/2015

27/12/2015 / Petros Konnaris

The Performance Lab was organized by pelma.lia.haraki and epitelesis – Performance Art Foundation.

During these days 7 artists, Lia Haraki, PASHIAS, Evripides Laskarides, Graam, Nicolina Stylianou, Pavlos Vrionides and myself came together for a week of research and exchange of performance methodologies and ways of making art.

Coming from both the performance and performing art fields we talked about our process of creation and practice and how our performance comes to life.

Some of our main concerns during this week was about rituals, improvisation as methodological and as performance tool, performance repetition and preparation modes.

The Performance Lab was part of The Performance Shop created by Lia Haraki.

Below you can find some photos of the week by Pavlos Vrionides.

The little red naked book

It is a book, it is red, it is quite small and it has many scores (short scripts) in it. Scores that invite the reader to mainly be naked and maybe twirl, undress, eat, jump, write, talk etc.

Do you want to join me for a score?

I will begin at 19:00 and randomly perform some of them. Let’s see what will come out of it…

Scores created by Petros Konnaris.

The little red Naked book

11/10/2015 / Petros Konnaris

In the process of creating naked scores/fluxes performance for future usage.

The little red Naked book will be divided by themes.

For each theme I will create 10 scores.

Then, I will ask a fellow artist or collaborator to assign me a new theme.

Repeat until all pages are filled with a score.

First theme: Undressing
