GómezPeña and the members of La Pocha Nostra will host their legendary summer performance workshop in the city of Athens from June 1st – 14th, 2015. The workshop will be open to performance artists, experimental actors, dancers, theorists, activists and students from all over the world. The Pocha/Greek committee will be selecting 24 participants from throughout Greece, Europe, the Balkans as well as the Americas. The focus will be on new performance art strategies and the human body as a site for creation, reinvention, memory and activism.
We will also place particular emphasis in the relationship between the human body and architecture by intervening different indoor and outdoor spaces. At the end of the workshop we will have an epic jam session open to the local arts community.
