Making performance at home: Imagination and the domestic space is a 3-hour online workshop by Elana Binysh for people who spend a lot of time at home.
The workshop will explore performance methods for engaging with a domestic space in unusual ways and from new angles.
We will use psychogeographic prompts for free writing. Laptop and phone cameras will frame domestic objects in order to think about the scenography of homes. Elana will set tasks that lean into the beauty of the hyper-mundane.
This workshop builds on methods Elana developed during the making of her work I think it was a feeling, an intimate headphone piece exploring shame, freedom and incontinence for people to experience at home alone.
