The Grossi Maglioni Magic Duo, in collaboration with Vision Forum 2009, present Performance Season/ Performance-Art Didactic Festival. Live performance on web, archive production and lectures – web edition 09/10.
The goal of the festival is to approach the performance art practice and to work around the idea of its possible categorisation.
At this purpose we want to encourage the partecipation of artists from around the world in order to realize an on-line performance festival on http://performanceseason.com/.
Such a festival proposes to create several collateral events: galleries, schools and art platforms involvement, artist’s lectures, discussion forums on “performance category” and also the creation of a performance archive.
1. CATEGORIES
the Performance Season first edition proposes the following categories:
Reenactment performance = reenactment of past performances; reenactment in general; retrace an historic event or the life of someone; identification, historical and anthropological research
Performance theater = stage actions in not conventional spaces; performance for many bodies and performance for only one body; actorial; mix of various media; non-narrative performances
Random performance = non planned actions; chaos applied to the performance; indefinite, linear and / or cyclic time; overcoming social limits or psychological pressure, public space performance, tasks performance
Gender performance = performance to overcome physical limits; identity research, sexual background, roles exchange; disguising
Each performance category has many subcategories,so to allow the partecipants to bring their performance into one of the four fields mentioned above: we are not working in a reductionist way at all, neither we are interested in a strict classification. Actually we are trying to give as many chances of partecipation as possible.
2. RULES
The partecipation is free.
Artists from all the world can partecipate, as long as they are in one of the point 1 categories (see above).
