https://www.uniarts.se/utbildningar/fristaende-kurser/performance-och-live-art-som-praktik-fristaende-kursThis is a course for you who want to explore and develop your ability to express yourself artistically in the performance and live arts through your artistic practice. Course leaders are Carina Reich and Bogdan Szyber.

You work practically with the process of developing an idea into a performance artwork. You will also have the opportunity to deepen your theoretical understanding of the history, context and possibilities of performance art.

In connection with this, you will also do your own or collective process analyses. You also document your reflections on your project work and use these to identify areas you want to explore for future artistic development.

Depending on your artistic practice, you can use different areas and media as work materials, such as visual art, literature, theater, poetry, music, dance, installation art, body art, as well as video, film and internet.

If you have questions about the course, email Camilla Damkjaer, senior lecturer at the Department of Performing Arts: camilla.damkjaer@uniarts.se

The course runs at half speed throughout the semester. The teaching consists of workshops, lectures and seminars as well as your own work under supervision.
Practical activities take place at SKH and these will be concentrated on a number of full and half days during the semester. Other parts of the course take place at a distance in the form of digital lectures, seminars and follow-ups, as well as self-study.
