Please Just Tell Me What To Do reflects on the theme of choices and how tiring it is to choose. How many choices are we expected to make everyday? How free are we, really? How free do we want to be?

Control

Based on performative group experiments integrated into the course, the students’ bodies, experiences and surroundings will become essential components of the material we use and explore in the studio. Students will discover for themselves how performance practices employ diverse artistic strategies to construct, alter or influence situations. Through their own experimental works, they will learn how live performances, immersive environments, socially engaged projects, activism and digital interventions all shape expanded performative practices that constitute contemporary forms of live projects.
