Michael Portnoy (US)
Workshop “How to Behave”
ZUZEUM Living Room
29 May at 12:00–15:00
This performance workshop explores the cultivation and choreography of idiosyncratic behavior—both as a way to develop live work and to design experimental intimacies in relational settings. We'll play with language, movement, and states of being to reengineer human exchange, approaching behavior as material—scoring it, stretching it, and watching it unravel.
No dance/performance experience necessary—open to anyone curious about how else we might be together.
