Dear Performance Artists, -teachers, -travellers and -Lovers,

Again, this year we are proud to announce another fantastic & unique

IPAH Summercamp 2011
&
Platform Young Performance Artists!

Make sure to be there. We have fantastic teachers, fantastic food, a fantastic Festival.
You will spend a fantastic time!
DON´T MISS IT!

Important: The Summercamp this year will not happen at Schloss Bröllin! One class will take place at the wonderful location Glogau Air and two classes at the Flutgraben e.V. The teachers this year will be He Chengyao from Beijing, Ray Langenbachfrom Kuala Lumpur and Jürgen Fritz.

Dates:

• 17. July 2011: Arrival of participants in Berlin, first dinner and talk about the organization.
• 18. - 24.: workshops
• 25. - 27.: days off, preparing the Plaform
• 28. - 30.: Platform Young Performance Artists at the Flutgraben e.V.
• 31. July: Departure

Money:

Like in the years before, we hope, that we can offer the Camp for 200, - €. This would include:

• Fee for the teachers
• Simple accommodation on mattresses in a big room together with other participants or private accommodation during the workshop!
• One dinner per day together with all participants from all groups.
• We are not sure about our funding in the moment, so we don´t know exactly, whether the 200,- are sufficient. We will know soon about that.

Registration

• Like in the last year, we have limited places up to 40 participants. So if you would like to participate, please register as soon as possible!
• Please register via email to summercamp@i-pah.de . You will receive a confirmation email with the information, to which account you should transfer the participation fee.
• Registration is compulsory if the fee is credited to the account of the IPAH e.V..

Please be aware, that the Platform Festival is not part of the IPAH Summercamp!

• Within the 200,- fee there is no accommodation and no food included after July 24th! Of course we will help you to find cheap sleeping places & maybe we can use some of the places from the week before, but we don´t know about that now!
• Not everybody from the workshop will have the possibility to perform at the Platform Festival! We have to decide about that during the first week! But we are lucky, that we may use 2 floors in the Flutgraben e.V. this year, so the situation will be easier than last year!

Symposium

This year we will have a small symposium about "Teaching Performance Art" organized by Jörn Burmester from the Performer Stammtisch.
Partners

Our Partners for the events this summer are:

Performer Stammtisch, Berlin
Flutgraben e.V., Berlin
GlogauAir, Berlin

IMPORTANT: We started a new webpage (www.i-pah.de), you can find all information there, they will be updated regularly.
Please register to the page, than you may post to the IPAH Forum. All your problems - now or in future - will be solved there!

Hope to see you everybody soon!

Yours all times

Bread and Thursday night performances

Hey All. I had to leave a little early from class Monday and hope someone can tell me any more info that was discussed for Thursday night 3-hour performances with objects. Also Nash: just a reminder that if you can get more bread from the dumpster, I would love to have it for my performance in North Carolina that is happening on Friday night!

Thank you.

Head pieces from Sawry, England

In the Lakes District in England, Joe Joe, Sarah, and I had the opportunity to make performance actions in nature. Here are some images, shot by Joe Joe. Thank you for your comments.

Cathy artist statement

Hello Everybody. Julie asked us to post our statements from last semester:

Cathy McLaurin Artist Statement

My process involves observing and thinking about what is happening in the world around me, and creating a response to it. I take something that is difficult or complicated and find a way to own it and convey that to the viewer. The viewer is left to organize their own story in response to what they have experienced.

I am interested in the uses and meanings connoted by materials and objects. I use common materials and objects - furniture/carpets, articles of clothing, sleeping or duffle bags - in unusual ways, engaging the viewer's senses of sight, smell, and touch. These situations work in a lingering way rather than an instant way, allowing for a philosophical pondering of meaning. Absurdity is employed to allow for contradictions in meaning. Common themes in my work are: temporality, memory, cultural displacement, and impermanence. Global events, everyday encounters, the work of Francis Bacon, and animal movement breed images and ideas that I incorporate into my work.

My practice is research-based, interdisciplinary, employing whatever process is most appropriate for the concept - painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, performance, video. I am especially interested in the performance form as transformation. My studio is wherever I am at a given moment.
