WORKSHOP OPPORTUNITY: Goat Island Summer School
Goat Island Summer School
Goat Island, a collaborative performance group based in Chicago, will present their eighth Artist-in-Residence Workshop at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago this summer. Since their inception in 1987, they have created eight performance works, and toured the U.S., Canada, UK, and Europe; in 2005 the group performed their latest completed work at the 37th International Theatre Festival of the Venice Biennale. They have produced a number of publications, focusing on both their performance and educational work. They have also produced two film projects that have developed out of their live performances. Goat Island has received six U.S. National Endowment for the Arts grants and were the subject of an American Public Broadcasting Service documentary in 1996.
Directed by the interests of the participants as well as those of the instructors, the intensive workshop will examine disciplines of performance, installation, writing, movement, music, research, publication, and documentation in various forms and combinations. Sessions will combine "theory" and "practice", investigating forms of thought and presentation, styles of collaboration, historical and philosophical perspectives, and methods of individual and collective _expression and creativity.
