This workshop explores the full lifecycle of performance art, encompassing writing, sketching, and strategic planning that focuses on preparation, performance, and documentation. We’ll balance artistic intent with unpredictable variables, analyze how documentation choices influence the work itself, and examine what remains after the work is complete. These remnants, whether objects, descriptions, recordings, or digital archives, create meaningful afterlives where a two-sentence description can be as impactful as extensive video documentation. Ideal for artists refining their practice or considering how ephemeral actions maintain presence beyond execution.
