About the event
This workshop will provide space for participants to experiment with video projection as a starting point to understanding and utilising EIZO-Theatre. Following an introductory lecture by Shimpei Yamada, participants are invited to work with projections to create effective and affective theatrical situations. EIZO-Theater is a new type of theater that Toshiki Okada has begun to develop in recent years together with stage and video designer Shimpei Yamada. It is an attempt to transform display space into theatrical space by the effects that projected images have on human sensibility. In EIZO-Theater, Okada has discerned enormous possibilities for expanding the latent potential of the very medium of theater.
About the organizer
SIFA 2023: THE ANATOMY OF PERFORMANCE - SOME PEOPLE
This year's title engages with the idea that the human experience exists on a spectrum. We are the sum of all the narratives that chapter and alter our lives; each trial and transformation, what our ancestors and communities have had to struggle through, our experiences as children and adults, things inherited and circumstances imposed on our lives shape how we move through life and experience the world.
When we encounter performance, we witness perspectives we can relate to, or that differ from our own, maybe even challenge our held beliefs, yet when we agree to remain in the performance space together, our personal worldview expands as we take in another’s.
Each SIFA edition features three tracks of curated offerings: CREATION, Life Profusion and SIFA X.
