Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Hartmut is going to talk a little about his work at large and the politics of how his films are constructed. And we’ll screen one of his best films: B-52.
