Berlin Workshop/Provocation with Mark C.

Hi All,
I'm going to lead a little workshop/provocation at 103 Club in Kreuzberg during my upcoming visit to Berlin. Perhaps someone on this list is interested? The German text and exact info is coming, but the basic info is below. We're going to keep the number of participants very small this first pass, but if all goes well, we'll do more events like this down the road.
Just to be clear, this is not an open invitation (i.e., don't just show up!) if you're interested in participating, contact me off list and we'll discuss your potential involvement.
Strange Loops
Media Artist Mark Coniglio will lead a two day workshop-experience for contact improvisers and video artists called "Strange Loops". The purpose of the workshop will be to explore a series of provocations concerning the interaction between movement and projected video images, using the notion of loops as a thematic link between the two.
The task of the video artist will be to use live, mediated video projections to expose the performer, to burrow under his or her skin and expose the physical, neuro-kinetic or psychological forces driving the movement. In response, the performers will use this visual revelation to define their next action and/or interaction with performers around them, thus subtlety or radically changing the video dissection of their inner being as presented on screen. In this way, as the image influences body, and body influences image, a chaotic interactive dialogue will result; a "Strange Loop" based on interpretation, re-interpretation, and unexpected meaning.
The workshops will take place at 103 Studios [Falkensteinstr. 47 – Berlin Kreuzberg] on June 12 and 13 starting at 21:00. Beamers and space will be provided by 103 Studios; other equipment (e.g., laptops, software) is the responsibility of the artist. Those who have taken part in the workshop will informally present the findings of their research at 103 Studios as part the monthly "Dance on Screens" event on June 14th.
