Workshop with Alexandra Pirici for FFA students, 20–21 Nov 2023
Workshop with Alexandra Pirici, 20–21 November 2023, FFA BUT, U2/325.
Alexandra Pirici is an artist and choreographer considered to be one of the leading figures in the field of contemporary performance art. Her workshop will consist in a theoretical introduction (in two parts) into the expanded field of performance art and its intermedial qualities, followed by practical exercises inspired by the performative practices discussed, that exist at the intersection of movement and action with other mediums (like sculpture or painting) and/or that relate to the environment, other life forms, or the inorganic. The workshop will take place in two four-hour blocks: on Monday 20 November, 13:00–17:00, and on Tuesday 21 November, 11:00–15:00.
Alexandra Pirici, born in 1982 in Bucharest, is a trained dancer and choreographer. Her work has been widely exhibited internationally. She participated in Skulptur Projekte Münster (2017) and the 9th Berlin Biennale (2016). In 2018, she had a solo presentation at the New Museum in New York. In 2022, she showed Encyclopedia of Relations at the Venice Biennale – a work that takes inspiration from symbiotic or parasitic interactions as seen in biology and botany, as well as those negotiated in more abstract relations – between humans and technology, rocks and waves, plants and animals. Alexandra Pirici has recently taken up a professorship for performance at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
The workshop will be held in English and is open to students at all levels of study.
