LEIMAY Ludus Lab with dramaturg Susan Mar Landau

who asks what when and why?
The creation of a performance work demands different kinds of dramaturgical questions for the artist to consider: What are these questions? Who asks them? When and why?

Together we will explore what form and import these questions might take, as we draw reference from Roland Barthesʼ essay “The Death of the Author”, as well as from an in depth conversation with SOAK artist Julia Crockett about her own artistic process in creating her piece “KID”. Along with our collective discussions, each participant will have the opportunity and support to investigate and identify questions that could serve their own creative process.

Dates: June 9th and 10th // 6:30pm – 9:30pm
Price: FREE
Attendance of Julia Crockett’s piece, KID, is required for attendance of this workshop.
KID will take place on June 6th and June 7th. Tickets will become available early April.
Pre-registration is required
Members’ discounts and other discounts valid for online payment only
