When:
—
Venue:
Online
In this talk, artists Dr. Natalie Raven (UK) and Dagmar Schwitzgebel (DE/UK) – collectively known as Church of Performance – share insight into their DIY methods of performance making, including live performance-to-camera on the streets of Plymouth & editing post-production for their video (I’ll Never Be) Maria Magdalena (2020). Utilising Roberta Mock’s model of performance processes (2000) as a framework through which to discuss different insight and findings along the artist’s journey, Dagmar & Natalie conclude with reflections on how their friendship and continuing collaboration – in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic – supported them in surviving periods of isolation during multiple lockdowns. Fun, ‘serious play’, and a collaborative approach to working with friends supported them in enduring the pandemic, and continuing onwards on the road to recovery.
