Campus #19 „Wer wir wirklich sind“

In this impulse, we oscillate between self-perceived, ascribed and fictitiously constructed identities. In dialog, we creatively explore the complexity of the concept.

The workshop aims to experiment through the body, exploring the subjective world of each performer, their references and imaginary, supported by creativity. The biography and ideology of each participant will be explored in order to discover how to move collectively. Through concepts proposed by the group, we will find a space free of prejudices where the body will be the main narrative instrument with which we will try to decipher who we are.

If you could capture yourself, restricted only to clothing and makeup, how would you do it? How are people/characters portrayed through what they wear? When we see something what does it tell us, what kind of codes do we give through how we present ourselves? Come listen and discuss the importance of clothing, and give a thought to how you choose to carry yourself through this world and why! Come prepared for fun outfits, makeup, wigs and videography! If you can bring along your camcorder or your phone.

The workshop will give you an insight into the creation of the costumes for the play "Amerika / Der Verschollene". We will develop our own costumes on the theme of identity from the Münchner Kammerspiele costume collection and then record and examine them in sketches. We look forward to creative minds, new ideas and stimulating discussions.
