Many thanks to the multidisciplinary artist Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu for their workshop BODY AS AN ARTISTIC MEDIUM: Working With(In) Limits & Expanding Possibilities during the basic course within the Studio Program Art Residency at BAI.
“The workshop focuses on limits as a starting point for performance practice. Limits—whether physical, emotional, social, or political—are usually seen as constraints, but they can also open new ways of being in the world and in the performance art context: working with the body. Through somatic exercises, journaling, and performative scores engaging with (dis)comfort, restriction, repetition, and support, participants will explore how thresholds can generate presence, transformation, and new forms of relation. The sessions combine practical exercises, individual explorations, and group discussions to consider how the body negotiates boundaries and how limitation itself can become a method in performance art.” (Text by courtesy of Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu)
