10-day Intensive Joint Summer Class on the Practice of Performance Art
With VestAndPage, Andrigo & Aliprandi and Sara Simeoni
June 17-27, 2025
C32 performing art work space, Forte Marghera, Venice, Italy
With a final public presentation on Thursday, June 26, 2025
� For this workshop, we seek up to 16 international performance artists, radical actors, movers, sound artists, and poets interested in performance practices centred on the body.
� This includes individuals of all experience levels and abilities who wish to challenge their performance practices further and collaborate with other international artists.
� You will work under the co-mentorship of experienced facilitators, employing comprehensive methodologies.
� We aim to give you the time, space, and tools to refine your practice, draw inspiration from collaborations, and forge new connections.
The intensive summer class takes place on campus at C32, a performing arts workspace in the heart of Forte Marghera historic park, which overlooks the western bank of the Venice lagoon. The final workshop will be publicly shared.
The collaborative laboratory process focuses on methods derived from artistic practices that emphasise bodies, spaces, and the art of encounters:
� @vestandpage utilise performance art and film to create ephemeral and immaterial works that embody ecological, philosophical, and queer feminist thought.
� @mariannaandrigo & @aldoaliprandi combine dance, performance art, sound motion, philosophy, video, installations, and site-specific performances, often characterised by their complete verticality and the resulting shiver it induces.
� @s_a_r_a_s_i_m_e_o_n_i is a dancer, choreographer, performer, and certified Danceability teacher.
Presented by Studio Contemporaneo, EntrAxis e.V. and @liveartcultures.
This is for those who trust in change.
It is for the overstretched global bodies searching for a home or on pilgrimage.
For those to whom the surreal is familiar, those who dance on the limits hand in hand.
For those who go to spaces of hidden beauty and scan into the flesh of dream matter —
visionary poets, artists and people pushed by an urgency.
For those who reconcile with the mystery to let things coexist.
For those who listen, who seek to express, not to impress.
For those who take risks in the name of seeking new images.
For those journeyed through visible and invisible places,
real and imaginary places.
A nomadism aiming to empower one's art and openness,
leaving subtle traces, structuring temporary autonomous zones.
Taking action because each one of us has important stories to tell,
moving through generative inquiry and collective imaginings.
And again, "Remember all, forget all."
