● Artist: Doris Dziersk is a visual artist and scenographer. She designs stage sets and installations. She uses spatial and haptic approaches to deal with topics such as home, community, materiality, and transformation.
● Description: Air is all around us and moves through our bodies. Clean air has become a scarce resource, and the degree of exposure to pollution corresponds to our socioeconomic status, while the COVID pandemic literally travelled through the air and made us cautious of what we breathe in and out. On the other hand, floating air can set things in motion beautifully, create light volumes in inflatables, and revive us if we are lucky enough to catch a fresh breeze. In this workshop, the participants will discuss, reflect, and broaden their personal and artistic relationship to air. Together, they will create a situation that puts air in the focus as a performer and scenographic element. In a site-specific approach, staged situations of display and perception will be developed, and the role and placement of an audience will be proposed and tested during an open time for the public at the end of the workshop. *The workshop’s outcome will be presented to the public.
