RECONNECT is a six hours long artistic game during which we will strive to create a living and breathing translation of spatial potentials through human bodies. Starting with the reception of a plain narrative, translating it into the architectural – human formations and awaking those through light and movement, the participants will inevitably change their perception of space and get inspired to include an alive space into their practice. The workshop would be staged as a 4+1 steps in a linear chain of understanding a basic principle of creative translation in performative practice.
