Call for participation at the art workshop

BODY IS WHAT REMAINS

Belgrade, June 14th-27th, 2010

As one of the partners in ENPARTS project, Bitef Theatre in Belgrade
organizes an art workshop called BODY IS WHAT REMAINS.

The first art workshop within the ENPARTS project, called ELECTRIC
BODY, was held in Venice in 2009. This second one aims at establishing
the cooperation between artists from various European countries who
would work together in order to develop a chosen topic.

This year’s campus is thematically connected to the nineties, the
Balkan conflicts and the collapse of ex-Yugoslavia or, to be more
precise, it explores the topic of body in war conflicts and in the
period of transition – the period in which the country moves from one
social system to another – from communism to capitalism.

The workshop, in the broadest sense, deals with the topic of human
freedom and the lack of it, as well as with the level to which one is
preconditioned with political, social and economic mechanisms within
which one lives.

After any conflict, after any discourse, after any thought … body is
what remains.

Body full or hungry, aggressive or motionless, free or limited…

The topics of the workshop are:

1)      Body in war conflicts

2)      Body in isolation

3)      Body of rave and deceptive freedom

Campus will be held in Belgrade (Serbia).
