Ponderosa Ongoing Research Collaboration Happenings

Performance module faculty 2016:

Stephanie Maher, Nina Martin, Barbie Diewald and guest artists.

The P.O.R.C.H. Performance Module commits participants to dreaming-up, devising, creating and performing inclusive & spontaneous actions & events throughout the public sphere of Ponderosa. All is art, nothing is art, and everything is art: we are a Multi-disciplinary-medium of Body, Music, Voice, Site-Specific, Improvisation, Visual, Video, Light, and Dance. We will encourage and stimulate an inclusive atmosphere of creativity and dialogue with our surrounding peers and public outside eye.

The P.O.R.C.H. Performance Module encourages a D-A-I-L-Y performance practice. This module is not for beginners but for experienced performers and or radically daring individuals! During the Module, Ponderosa is teaming with activity, hosting workshops, concerts, films and performances. Energetically speaking, the atmosphere it creates is intense!

 

The P.O.R.C.H. Performance Module adapts pOnderosa's international public audience and relies on the available activities to create a collaborative and conceptual stage. Participants must be able to work within this varied and layered set of conditions and be able to spare or focus their energy. Simply put, the priority is the act of performance.

The P.O.R.C.H. group process aims to discuss results and experiences we have had as viewers and makers. Can we understand what we have presented? Who is invited into the experience? Is it selective, exclusively private or voyeuristic? Whether it is an improvised event, a highly structured composition or a spontaneous explosion, we are available to support one another's performative experiments. 

The P.O.R.C.H. Performance Module meets daily, varying from 1-4 hours in between the pOnderosa TanzLand workshop schedules and during the weekends. Please curate your own individual workshop or practice concept. Workshops are not officially included in the module but highly recommended for an overall integrative experience. This gives us a discussion platform for artistic and collaborative exchange allowing P.O.R.C.H. artists to meet the other visiting guests and to be part of the general atmosphere that is created within the public workshop experiences.
