Karen Christopher is a collaborative performance maker and teacher, interested in artistic negotiation in the making process and finding non-traditional structures for working and composing material for live performance.

Through a series of assignments or tasks, workshop participants will be invited to explore and create in a space where creativity, activity and invention are themselves imagined as productive states. Group collaboration strategies will be employed to inspire individual breakthroughs. Performance is a mode of thought. Each time we make a live performance work we go through a learning process.

No prior performance experience is required, and a mix of abilities and interests is welcome. Curiosity around ideas of creativity and how to work with others is desired.

The 3-hour workshop will generate material which will be performed by the workshop participants at the event Entanglements: Studies in Falling, Flowing, Following on Thursday 7 November at 6pm. Attendance at both times is required – arrival time on Thursday TBC. Karen’s new ensemble project will also be presented at the event alongside the work of the Waterways Collective, Hannah Lavery (Edinburgh Makar) and Rhubaba Choir.

This event will be photographed/recorded, and may be used for future marketing, promotional or archive purposes. If you would prefer not to be photographed/recorded, please let us know at the event.
