THIS COURSE IS CANCELLED.

Welcome to an introduction to the themes, processes and the fabulous team behind Flashdance!

The course given by W A U H A U S members Anni Klein and Jarkko Partanen takes us down to the night. Klein and Partanen are interested in what kinds of dramaturgical potential various circumstances created for a performance can open.

Questions asked during the course include:

  • How can the context of the performance (space, time, place, participants) form the dramaturgical framework and the starting point of a performance?
  • What is the relationship between materiality and overall dramaturgy?
  • How can the performer be the author of dramaturgy, and how can the dramaturgy of a performance be worked on and developed from the stage?
  • What is the role of the spectator as an author of dramaturgy?  

The themes are approached through discussions, activities and examples from actual performances. The course also includes watching of Flashdance on Saturday 10 December at 22:30 and meeting the workgroup after the performance.

The course is open for everyone interested in the questions. It is suitable for dance enthusiasts as well as professionals and students of performing arts.
