Full event details

How is political power performed? How can a protest be seen as a performance?
How to 'read' a live performance, not only on theatre stages, but also in (public) life?
With a special focus on political performances and politics as performance, we will start this workshop by looking at skills of reading 'live' performance more in general, before turning to analysing how public life is staged, rehearsed and embodied, using examples of recent political debates, rallies and protests.

There is also the option to have a tour of our beautiful campus.
