What the heck IS performance art? Is it visual art? Theatre? Social Experiment? Performance art is expansive and seems to defy easy definition, and yet it’s the biggest movement in the art world in the last 100 years. In this introductory workshop, we will first take a video voyage through the history of the form and then recreate some iconic pieces. The workshop will culminate in the group creating an original site-specific (and possibly public) performance art piece.
