The Field Project Intimacy and Scale will take place in two related parts; Angela Schubot will lead a physical practice focused on building intimacy, while Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff will develop a conversation on the production of space for performance, particularly the construction of collective space. In the workshop, we will work through the connection between body, performance and location, and how we can build an intimate space that is shared, bigger than ourselves.
Angela Schubot’s physical practice works to enter and live within places of deep intimacy and beyond. In the workshop, we will practice a deep listening to autonomous forces and energies inside and outside the body, which will move you (us), breathe you (us), think you (us), dream you (us), create you (us), dance you (us). This space of true listening before clobbering what is there with our principals and desires will lead us to an unconditional togetherness and a body which neither loses itself in others nor imposes its power over others; a body which gives its exuberance away and thereby becomes the most exuberant thing itself.
Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff will expand on the ideas presented by Angela, working through how these ideas can be scaled up from the body into the construction of spaces for performing. Focusing particularly on Vienna’s various performance spaces and theaters, we will look at how architecture and its hierarchies can affect the body and create shared spaces of intimacy. Ultimately, we will aim to create spaces of and for the work developed with Angela.
