The Artist and Performance: Foundations of Performance Art
A first approach to the foundations of Performance Art.
Date: Sunday, May 24th, 2026
Time: 13:00 - 16:00
Location: Soft Power Studios
Language: English
Experience Level: All welcome
Materials: Notebook recommended
For those interested in expanding how they think about art, action, and the body as a creative medium
What you leave with: A first performance score, an expanded conceptual framework, stronger analytical tools, and greater confidence approaching performance art.
This class introduces performance art through theory, visual examples, discussion, and guided experimentation. Participants will learn how body, time, space, audience, and concept work together to create meaning, shifting performance art from something that can feel confusing or inaccessible into a practice that can be read, analyzed, and approached with more confidence.
Led by practicing performance artist Getsay, the class offers direct insight into performance as a living, evolving practice shaped by artistic, social, and material conditions. Together, we will understand performance art as concept, gesture, ritual, politics, documentation, and live presence.
Theoretical framework + visual references
Drawing from a range of influential performance, conceptual, and body-based practices alongside select examples from Getsay’s own work.
Core frameworks:
Time
Space
Body / Presence
Audience Relationship
Concept
This workshop is designed for visual artists expanding their practice, curious beginners, intimidated newcomers, and performers seeking deeper conceptual grounding.
YOU WILL CREATE
A short verbal performance score + one live short action.
The atmosphere is reflective, low-pressure, and non-judgmental. Participants are supported through clear entry points, structured experimentation, and a lens of care that makes performance art more accessible without removing its complexity.
This workshop is designed as an entry point — a space to experiment, reflect, and begin understanding performance through direct experience.
