"Error variations" workshop focuses on error philosophy in technological theatre. Technological theatre defines relationships between physical action, dramaturgical structure and technology through the exploration of inner rhythms of machine (in its widest meaning). Machine with its technical characteristics and anatomy is a base of performance structure, treated as a subject not any more as an object. Course will explore possibilities to evoke (technical) errors and use them as a creative source for performance process. It assumes resignation of dominating antropocentristic position which projects to technology fixed expectations. Fixed single function has been attached to most of technological devices used in everyday life. Operation with any other (non-purposed) functions will automatically create platform for error-occurrence.
Art and design, performing arts and new media students are going to enter into the space of error, where they will be left behind by support of industrial engineering and mathematically calculated guarantee. Students are going to create new ways of communication with technology (in its widest meaning), assigning dominating role to error. In this workshop error as a technical phenomena will meet error as a cultural prejudice.
Every day there will be a bit different approach around the main topic and students will work in groups in this common creative process guided by several lecturers and artists.
The course is aimed at starting from 2nd year students and can go on till post-graduate level.
