Artist Training Berlin - Course: QUEEROLOGY
Artist Training Berlin – Course Program 2024
PERFOMING ARTS: 3 September to 2 October “QUEEROLOGY: Workshopping the Tides Within”
by Michael(a) Daoud, Zain Saleh and Hassandra
QUEEROLOGY: Workshopping the Tides Within, is an interdisciplinary workshop first initiated by Michael(a) Daoud in 2019. The workshop merges movement research with creative writing to test and generate, self reflect and discuss collectively the close connection between repressed emotions, social expectations and unconscious tendencies, therefore offering the participants alternative tools of storytelling, choreography and dramaturgical performance building. An invitation to own one’s narrative, agency over the body and its movement, free from the overall dominant public. Together we question; Can we plan a performance? Or perform a plan? What is more persistent, riding a wave, or having it reach its final shore?
QUEEROLOGY: Workshopping the Tides Within, in this edition, touches on: GRIEF, ANGER and LOVE. We aim to create a shared space where we would collectively work on creating tools for choreographing one’s poetic writing through scores/scenes experiencing the generative and performative forces of collective sharing.
Michael(a) Daoud is an interdisciplinary artist working with archive, conceptual and performance art in the expanded field of time-based art. Their practice explores how historical and contemporary migration shapes large-group identity, using heritage-rich found objects integrated with the body to reveal the body's vulnerabilities and challenge subconscious boundaries between self and other.
Zain Saleh is an artist, writer, and dramaturg, his work delves into contemporary queer issues, the blend of activism and the arts, and cultural policies.
Hassandra is a multidisciplinary artist, DJ, MUA and event organizer, their artistic explorations delve into themes such as migration, nostalgia, and queer living archives.
