Experimental Erotica Laboratories
14 and 21 October, 18h-20h
Free Workshop gratuito | Registrations are open
Participation is free, with prior registration to our email.
This laboratory will be supervised by Katarina Lanier and is part of the research process she is developing within the scope of her artistic residency “Dances of Desire”, taking place at Forum Dança.
“The purpose of these laboratories is to open up the material I have been investigating in the context of the creation of my piece Call Me Three Times, developed within PACAP 5. *
Over the next few weeks of residency, I aim to pull out materials from the constructed piece, blow them up, touch their edges, and dislocate the erotic elements I was focused on sharing as completed images.” – Katarina Lanier
About the workshop
The labs will be divided into two parts: one body (which could be considered a warm-up) which will lead to a video exploration with the use of devices we have available (cell phones, cameras, computers, etc.)
During the two sessions, we will be engaged in individual and collective body practices with the goal of opening up the participants to sensations and their potential expressions. We will use these body practices and the conversations around them to experiment with their translation into short videos focused on producing desire, poetics, and attraction.
This laboratory is welcome to everybody.
Please come in loose clothing to move, and a few objects/elements that you consider to be potentially erotic (possible examples: songs that make you want to dance, clothes that make you want to touch yourself, objects that make you want to touch others, etc.)
