Sinopse
This masterclass explores immersive performances, and how to bodily engage audiences. We start by looking at some of Kate McIntosh’s previous works, which propose tactile and social encounters between strangers. We discuss the ethics, possibilities and pitfalls of audience interaction - thinking about agency and autonomy, transgression, exposure, implicit and explicit instructions, refusal, and sensorial situations. After our conversation, workshop participants imagine and discuss their own immersive proposals. This workshop is good for anyone who’s making performances (or curious about that process) and anyone exploring relationships with audiences. It’s also good for those who are curious about how works like In Many Hands?(2016) and?Lake Life (2023) and Worktable?(2011) were made.

Author's bio text
Kate McIntosh (1974), originally from Aotearoa, New Zealand, is a Brussels-based artist who practices across the boundaries of performance, theatre, video and installation. Her works often focus on the physicality of both performer and audience, the manipulation of objects and materials, and the development of direct relations with and between audience members. Kate's practice is guided by her ongoing fascination with the misuse of objects, playfulness with the public, a love of theatrical images and unruly humour. Kate is also a founding member of SPIN, a practice-centred production and research platform in Brussels.
