CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
PAS | Performance Art Online Class 3.0
February or March 2023
In the past two years we have conducted 25 Online Classes on different topics of Performance Art topics with amazing artists from different time zones. From Hong Kong to UK and from South America to Ukraine we had people joining the classes willing to widen the perspective of performance work practice, theory and philosophy and collaborate together in different research settings. The individual and collective outcome of the participants has been enriching, motivating and led to new approaches of collaborative performance work. Online-based collaborations, video performances and live performances were made after the classes and created an international network of performance art lovers and makers.
Led by BBB Johannes Deimling and Monika Deimling

The Classes
PAS | Online Class #27
24 – 26 February 2023
Research focus: Stillness – or the calm before the storm
In music, silence is as important as it is to producing a tone. In dance, stillness is as important as movement and in performance, art stillness can become a very strong tool to underline a certain moment. And yes, stillness can be very active and very loud too. We will connect the made research this weekend to produce performances for the camera and freeze active moments into one or a series of photographs.
Research questions (Examples): “Am I not moving, if I am standing still?”, “What is the activity in stillness?”
Schedule:
24 February 2023: 6pm – 9pm (Berlin time)
25 February 2023: 2pm – 8pm (Berlin time)
26 February 2023: 2pm – 8pm (Berlin time)
PAS | Online Class #28
10 – 12 March 2023
Research focus: Absurdity – Fümms bö wö tää zää Uu, pögiff, kwii Ee.
The absurd is characteristic within the arts because as artists we speak about something that we cannot transfer via words. If we break through or change the regular course of action, we may open the door to a world that speaks differently but also more directly to us and others. By entering the absurd space, we are able to find the sense in non-sense. Two key tools in this process are observation and transformation. With specific exercises, we will embrace the absurd and bring them into a dialogue with our views, desires and challenges.
Research questions (Example): “Is it possible to eat an apple and then peel it?”, “What makes sense if nothing seems to make sense?”, “What does “Fümms bö wö tää zää Uu, pögiff, kwii Ee.’ mean?”
Schedule:
10 March 2023: 6pm – 9pm (Berlin time)
11 March 2023: 2pm – 8pm (Berlin time)
12 March 2023: 2pm – 8pm (Berlin time)
