WORKSHOP: FLUID W/ AUTUMN KNIGHT AT CONTEMPORARY ARTS MUSEUM HOUSTON
This participatory workshop with artist Autumn Knight at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston will demonstrate methods used for developing a working understanding of the critical uses of fluidity in perspective, physicality, and thought within the personal and political. The workshop invites participants to use a group improvisational method that stimulates body awareness and further develops spontaneity that can uncover surprising sources of potential material. The entire group will be submerged in the group dynamic. There is no audience; the intent is to simultaneously become viewer, participant, and creator—to remain present.
