Theory: Writing a Text. Performing a Text. ….Reading

As an artist or / and designer you wish or have to write texts: Proposals descriptions for your work/idea manifestos Interviews Instructions Reflections/Essay Poetic Writing

In this seminar we will practice test writing and find new ways to create a text.

In this seminar: You will write texts. They can be written individually or collaboratively. You will give and get feedback.

We will read and discuss written texts., examples from other artists and designers.

We will ask: Whathappens when genres collide? In this seminar we will bring together several terms often thought to be well-defined—including “poetry,” “prose,” “theater,” “politics,”, „description“, „manifesto“ and “essay”. Through experiments in writing, reading, and collaborating, re-narrate their meanings and implications.

In a second step we will experiment with different possibilities to present and perform the text, you have written.
