Performance workshop with Stelarc: From Extreme Bodies to Virtual Selves: Sumo, Butoh, Robots, Avatars and Performance

This theoretical workshop elaborates on alternated anatomical architectures, hybrid bodies and hyper bodies through a discussion of social, cultural and philosophical ideas of the body, issues of awareness, agency and identity are interrogated. What a body is, how a body performs and what it means to be human in an age of technological speed, power and precision will be questioned. Having discussed these poetic and philosophical notions of bodily action and machine operation, more practical issues of structuring, framing, timing and enduring a performance will also be considered.
