Rehearsing identities – a writing and performance workshop
In this workshop performance artist Filip Vest will share their practice and introduce us to methods that they use in their work to generate writing and movement scores, that the participants will get to try out for themselves. Through a talk and different exercises we will write and move in space to explore concepts and questions around identity, such as: How do other people perceive us? How do we see ourselves? You don’t need to have any prior experience with writing or performance to participate. Photo: Kristine Løndal

About the artist
Filip Vest (they/them, DK, b. 1995) holds an MFA from Malmö Art Academy. Through performances, installations and film, they explore subjects as identity, performativity and work.
