Draw to Perform - Ram Samocha
Draw to Perform - Ram Samocha
2013
(original copy)
“The first Draw to Perform symposium curated by artist Ram Samocha took place in London on the 5, 6 and 7 of December 2013 and hosted by and Arebyte Gallery. This symposium aimed to promote the growing stream of live drawing performance, to distinguish it as a unique entity and allow it to rise from the eclectic, wider definition of performance art. The participating artists all considered their body of work to be fundamentally concerned with drawing, in that for them drawing connects elements of line, movement, space and time.
In their practice, mark-making is often a result of gesture and body movement. For some, drawing is rather conceived as installation, video, performance, painting, writing and animation. Many of the participating artists were interested in exploring idea of trace as memory and in connection to temporality. Others were focused on the physical and sensorial experience of drawing, either in relation to human body proportions or to physical exercise.”

Ritually Reading & Researching
2013
(original copy)
“RRR was an experimental research laboratory, where durational visual-performance processes meet critical research methodologies. Across 12 hours (8 pm - 8 am) participants moved between ]ps[ (Hamlet Industrial Estate, Hackney Wick) and the Live Art Development Agency's Study Room (White Building, Hackney Wick) - on the hour, every hour, for 12 hours - unpacking peer chosen texts (in the broadest interpretation of the term) responding through collaborative performance processes, installation, text and audio. RRR occurred 4 times across the space of 3 years in Hackney Wick).
(This project was inspired by Li E Chen's 24 hours in Dreams campaign in which ]ps[ directors Bean & Benjamin Sebastian (together with Li) worked over a 24-hour duration, discussing, making, unmaking thinking and feeling).”

Vest And Page + Participants
(original copy)
“MayDay is an 8-day intensive workshop on the praxis of performance art, following performance artist duo VestAndPage's method through the process of making a performative piece. During the practical exercises, under various conditions, the participants are provided with means to conceive, develop and realize a performance, mainly only using their own body as a tool:
• To exercise and research on a changing daily basis.
• To work towards touching point zero in perception, introspection, judgement (on oneself and on others) and intention, to then rebuild a new way of authenticity-based perception and expression, for finally transforming visions and ideas into concrete artistic action.
• To take distance from merely being virtuous by establishing, evaluating, and energizing the personal action in situ.
• To free oneself from common behavioural patterns so as to create new ways of encountering, collaborating and living.
• To overcome the fragile constituent limits, may they be based on physicality, fears or social patterns.
• To touch and strengthen the most human inner sensors in order to activate personal and universal memories, for use as a germinal matter for future artistic substance.
Actions and exercises are innovative but inspired by Dynamic Breathing, Social Theatre, Living Theatre, Macro and Micro Spherology, Inner Library, Liminality, Archetypes, Rituality, Memory activation, Body-Space-Object, Time-Duration-Rhythm, Voice/Sound, Emotional Atmosphere, Inter-activity. The goal of the workshop is to provide the participants with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge and artistic sensitivity to conceive a final, individual performance. Final Group Performance includes artists such as; Bean, Charlotte Wendy Law, Francesca Lisette, Ria Righteous to mention but a few.”

Zierle Carter + Daniel Lackey + AMAE +
(original copy)
“]performance s a l o n s [ - was an opportunity to show documentation, performance, research & critically discuss the work and that of others. Each salon was led by an invited artist and then opened up into a general ‘show & tell’ where anyone could present work and engage a critical audience. Artists were invited to present work in any format appropriate to their practice. Salons included actions, performance lectures, film & print exhibitions and installation works. The sessions gave audiences in-depth insight into artists' methodologies & work and gave artists an opportunity to discuss their work with peers in a professional context. The ]performance s a l o n s [ ran throughout 2012 & 2013 and evolved into The Soap Box Sessions (SBS) in 2014.”
