who asks what when and why?

The creation of a performance work demands different kinds of dramaturgical questions for the artist to consider: What are these questions? Who asks them? When and why?

Together we will explore what form and import these questions might take, as we draw reference from Roland Barthesʼ essay “The Death of the Author”, as well as from an in depth conversation with SOAK artist Julia Crockett about her own artistic process in creating her piece “KID”. Along with our collective discussions, each participant will have the opportunity and support to investigate and identify questions that could serve their own creative process.

For students who were not able to attend Julia Crockett’s work, KID, please watch this video of a previous iteration of the piece.

*Please note that this LEIMAY Ludus Lab has a short text for required reading: Roland Barthes’s The Death of the Author.
