Description
WOMEN ONLY EVENT
Please pay what you can afford. We want the Festival to be accessible to as many women as possible, so offer a range of ticket prices. Very many thanks to those who are able to contribute a little more.
Are you interested in performing, or curious about new forms of body and installation art, but never really had a chance to take a closer look? In this one-hour group workshop on performance art, we will look at examples of live art and then explore and improvise with an object of choice from a selection provided. We will experiment by devising a short performance on a chosen topic. There's no right or wrong way in live art, so expect surprises! No experience necessary – just an open mind and willingness to have a go. All materials supplied.
Mirja is an artist with a practice varying from performance to video, painting and curating. Originally from Finland, she has been living in Edinburgh since 2007, where her projects include running the Interview Room 11 Gallery.
Organiser Audacious Women Festival
Organiser of Performance Art
Audacious Women Festival provides a chance for women to break down personal, political or institutional barriers, and to celebrate audacious women everywhere.
DO WHAT YOU ALWAYS WISH YOU DARED!
Take your own audacious action, on your own, with friends, or through your organisations. Break convention. Get outside your comfort zone. Be adventurous. Do a charity parachute jump, throw some bricks through the glass ceiling, or organise a protest march. Anything that will make a positive difference to you or to the world.
