Changing Perspectives

After three intensive blocks of nine workshop days, diving into various photophraphy techniques including experimental studio work, long time exposure, street photography and performance, the group met on the fourth weekend to refect and evaluate the photographs that were created. The results are a manifold of perspectives onto the city and the protagonist´s individual commentary on the past, present and future. The focus of this workshop session laid on storytelling and WHY and HOW the work shall be shared with the public.

The photographs and narratives created will be shared in the framework of the exhibition Stages of a Flight in Brunnenpassage in November and December 2018.

Performative Photography

Street theatre workshop with Monica Hunken – Living Theatre NY

In the third block of the photography workshops the group was joined by the performer and activist Monica Hunken from the Living Theatre Company, NYC.

In this workshop, the participants explored some basic street theater techniques for drawing focus, moving as an ensemble, creating striking images, playing with creative impulse and imaginative associations and how to communicate meaningful narrative through their bodies, working with the three basic emotions LOVE, LOSS & LONGING.

After first steps inside, the protagonists took these news skills to the street and devised mini pieces at nearby locations.

The photography served as a tool for documentation and Narration, capturing the feelings expressed through body language and interaction.
