NAVIGATE: An Immersive Learning Environment on the move.
//NAVIGATE is
a two-way learning, roving group of artists. Between a yard, a boat, and a
studio, we will use temporary sites where artists can set-up in the city. Navigate aims
to facilitate a programme of transitional two-way education and practice
building around and after Hackney WickED Festival 2013.
NAVIGATE is a two-day immersive learning environment
which explores ideas of collaboration and artist-practice issues through key
themes in the lead artist's practice.//
Artists selected for NAVIGATE are:
NAVIGATE1 Yard House Collective; Louise Ashcroft, Jack Tan, Noga Inbar and Oliver Roy and other members of the Yard House collective. sculptureyard.blogspot.co.uk
NAVIGATE2 Andre Verissimo.
Andre runs Fading, a platform for performance art and workshops in reclaimed buildings, is a member of Outside Puppets Collective and initiator of the Open Lectures in collaboration with Li-E Chen. Andre also collaborates with performance group; Cluster Bomb Collective.
//The programme will allow the artist workshop leaders to develop their skills, transferring their practice into a learning context. The participants will also gain experience. From working through different artist-practice-based issues in a group, they will discuss development, collaboration, documentation, and indirectly interrogate their own practice throughout the project.

‘DOING THINGS WITHOUT AN AIM’
When?
Location?
Who?
We are a group of
artists who met at the Royal College of Art Sculpture Department in 2012 and
have been working together and parallel to one another this year building a
house in the college yard which was both a living sculpture and a context for
individual and collaborative works. We occupied the house for several weeks
during the final show and activated it through a programme of events and
lunches. For more info see: http://sculptureyard.blogspot.co.uk
"It's not a house - it's an attitude of togetherness".
Sharing lunch, time, space and thoughts on solidarity, boundaries, domesticity,
exchange, caring, politics and ways of making and existing within art. We set
out to live in the spaces between us.
What is our 2-day workshop?

NAVIGATE 2. Andre Verissimo
M.S.G.
(Madness, Sanity and Gentrification)
A
two-day intensive performance art workshop exploring the meanings and
potentials of madness and sanity in the context of Hackney Wick's
gentrification.
During
the course of two days we will investigate the subjectivity of these concepts
by looking at ways of questioning, challenging and transcending established social norms and notions of
acceptable/non-acceptable, legal/illegal, ethical/unethical behaviour in public
space, and by exploring their possibilities to create live performance.
Through a series of exercises,
individual and collaborative performance actions and interventions around
Hackney Wick, we will temporarily transform public space and test how far we
allow ourselves to go both individually and collectively.
Some
of the places we will work on include the Olympic fence and park, overground
station, the canal, the streets, housing and industrial estates amongst others.
This is a hands on practical workshop
where we work with found materials and objects, scrap sound, our bodies
multiple possibilities, made up personas, surprise elements and the environment
around us at the Wick.
When/Where
Dates: 28th & 29th
September
Location: Hackney Wick
Practical work from 10am to 5pm.
Discussion and reflections in the evening.
Lunch is provided and will take place
at my caravan parked outside ]performance s p a c e[.
On the second day breakfast together
before starting the day.
Accommodation will be provided for the
night.
Its important for the development of
the workshop 's process and group cohesion that everyone stays overnight.
Participants
This is a workshop for performance and
visual artists, theatre arts practitioners, teachers, students, activists and
anyone with a real interest in the ideas explored in the workshop.
To take part please email a letter of
interest to Andre at nene_porto@hotmail.com and
C’C Sadie sssade@hotmail.com and
Gerald at gerald.curtis87@gmail.com stating
why you would like to take part. Alternatively sendanything that can
illustrate your interest. Please title email M.S.G.
Deadline: Friday September 6th. Please email early so we can accept you onto workshop prior to deadline.
About Andre Verissimo
In a world of manipulated sanity and imposed madness through science, economics and politics, I believe art becomes a form of resistance and transgression.
Through performance art I attempt to explore ways of exposing current issues in our societies by subverting and transforming them. In addition to my own practice I organise Fading, a platform for performance art and workshops in reclaimed buildings.
