“All art starts from the act of watching,” says Pasal Rambert, the top French playwright and director who leads this three-day workshop. Observing the city can form a way to generate the dramaturgy for a performance and then develop this into art. How can we transform our observations of the city into movement or language? How can we evolve our personal gaze into a communal experience or a work of art?
This workshop takes place in SHIBAURA HOUSE and the surrounding area. Participants will share the creative process as observers, writers and artists, watching and collecting the landscapes, incidents, words, and sounds of the city. Creating new narratives and visions out of the urban space, the workshop will be an invaluable experience for not only for people working with physical and linguistic forms of expression, but also in visual art, architecture, and urban studies.
