Performance art in practice pedagogical approaches

Worthwise, 2022

 

A collection of essays, edited by Aapo Korkeaoja

 

Performance art in practice- pedagogical approaches opens up a wide range of practices, thinking and philosophy within performance art. 

 

The essays are a profound collection of views to understanding performance art as a cultural phenomenon and a creative tool by experienced artist-educators, who write about their passion as artists and practices as teachers in Finnish art universities.  

 

Several methods on how to engage and understand body, concentration, human presence, identity, vocabulary, culture politics, art history and activism are introduced. Inventive feedback and dialogue cultures are shared with the readers as well as a range of personal experiences in various situations at workshops and performance grounds. The book also introduces vocabulary and concepts that have grown in relation to performance art - an art that eventually escapes all definitions. 

 

Performance art in practice- pedagogical approaches is a great tool for students & teachers and a pleasant read for anybody, that wishes to know more about performance art.

​

The writers Tuomas Laitinen, Annette Arlander, Tero Nauha, Eero Yli-Vakkuri, Leena Kela, Pilvi Porkola, Jussi Matilainen and Pia Lindy with the editor Aapo Korkeaoja all approach performance art and pedagogy from different angles.
