This two-day workshop explores experimental approaches to engaging with communities by situating creative work in public places. Facilitated by artist, curator-producer and facilitator Dan Koop, the workshop draws on his practice of creating performance works in unexpected public spaces, inviting audiences to move from observers to active participants.
Who is this for?
Designed for artists, thinkers and makers of all disciplines, the workshop offers a space to investigate how art can respond to place, activate space and create meaningful encounters. Across the two days, participants will take part in a mix of talks, group tasks, movement exercises and outdoor activities.
