Performative Presentations.
I can't call the presentations I do Performance lectures, because they are more presentations and more performative than a lecture, that's why I chose to call my presentations Performative Presentations.
In these presentattions I present my idea, but add a performative layer to it: sound, video, movement...
2.0 Presentation
In the 2.0 presentation I was presenting at the high table and television in Pastoe, I positioned the television that you could see both the television and the satirs.
Before the presentation started, I went upstairs and started the video. In the video I was walking from my desk, down the stairs up to the place of the television. In real life I did the same movement, except that now I wasn't wearing a costume.
Because my research is about making spaces theatrical, I tried to already make the space in Pastoe theatrical by one simple intervention.
During the presentation I explained how I tend to work. In the middle of the presentation, I red a poem as an intervention of the presentation. The poem is called de geur van tijd, by using the poem, I was able to get my project and my style accross in a different way, the spectators were drawn into the same atmosphere.
Preparing the 2.0. helped me to find out what the important factors in my research are and how I still can stay ttrue to my sensitivity and intuition.
