Is healing a process of restoration or transformation?

Healing #3

Elisabeth Pfeifauf

Every wound leaves behind a trace. The healing process is not necessarily a process of getting back to where it started from but more so one of transformation. The part that has been wounded was mended, but also strengthened to protect of future stress. This last performance showcases this topic by repairing a canvas, transforming it in the process and becoming a new object in the process.

Theory and Practice of the Performing Body

Studio INTERACT | BA Major Art Teaching module | Interaction/Performance supervised by: Italo Zuffi (Studio Leader) Aim of this Studio is to explore the expressive and narrative potentials of the body, and employ it as direct work tool to design and implement projects involving a live engagement. The process we will follow is partly based on a pre-defined structure dealing with both physical and analytical work, and partly meant to allow self-generative extensions in relation to the dynamics and outcomes we will create. Inner listening – that is, the capability to define the atmospheric qualities of our state of presence and connection. We will often refer to it as a way by means of which to closely observe and assess our works, from concept to execution.
