Open Session, Performance Art Stavanger
Studio K and Performance Art Stavanger initiated an Open Session on Thursday 02 February from 17.00-19.00 in Studio K (Kvernelandsvegen 41, 4355 Kvernaland). This session was led by the artists Anne-Marte Eidseth Rygh and Kari Ann Lending Kleiveland who introduced exercises based on their own practices as well as Gestalt psychologist Ruella Frank's theories about how memory and experience are expressed through six fundamental movements. The movements were explored as relational, something we create in relation to something or someone.
Open session is a concept where people meet at an agreed time and place, and do either planned sketches or completely spontaneous improvisations within performance. It is a concept that opens up for experimentation, try-outs and unity.
