THE MOMENTARY NOW
SCHOOL OF PERFORMANCE

The momentary now school of performance is the theoretical-practical course that Marcella Vanzo proposes at ZONA K to explore performance at 360 degrees. A course that was missing, made of action and reflection on performance, between visual arts, cinema, poetry and theatre, but also anthropology, psychology or sociology. 

Vanzo invites students to investigate different languages that plumb the depths of gesture, the body as a medium, the voice, the relationship with the other, with space, with objects, with the market. Students will work on transmission both individually and in groups, with a focus on doing, then practical exercises, physical work, readings and analysis of works. On seeing: exhibitions, theatre, performances, videos, together with meetings with artists, curators and experts.

At the end of the year each of them will present a personal project to a selected group of curators: Matteo Bergamini (Exibart), Paola Clerico (Case Chiuse) and the art critic and curator Gabi Scardi, who will follow the course.
