Sophia Rodríguez invites you to devise a new performative work together. Let’s bounce our cliches and inner fire, construct and deconstruct a series of fake and true phenomena in a relationship with yourself. Through exercises of body, voice, mind, and language, we will prepare ourselves to reveal our feelings and thoughts, this will be the masa bruta, the clay that we will use to develop an aesthetic performative statement.
Every day we are going to construct something individually out of our voice/body/actions and show it. We are going to open up fantasies and frustration, in action, in poetic actions that pull out our trash/fullness/fail/fight/flame/death/expression. We will be playing with superficial and deep, with subjective and objective, fake and true, letting ourselves to be influenced by poetry and metaphors we might encounter in the process.
How we stand for what we do? How do we give the value to emotions or thoughts that come from very deep or hidden space in our body? What can we discover through group communication? How can we change our perception of reality and our perception of art by giving a different form to our thoughts and feelings through group work?
Whatever comes to us in the process of research is an integral part of us. At the same time, when it is placed somewhere and inhabits a concrete shape, it is already something new, and something that we can distance ourselves from, observe and treat it. It is composing and decomposing, creating a space between the personal meaning and the value that that action itself can have for the environment, the public, etc.
Those are the things we are gonna experience together and reflect on while we develop our performances without any filters.
