2011	Performative Turn On relations between theatre, dance and visual arts
	The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites you to “Per­for­ma­tive Turn”- the first edi­tion of meet­ings ded­i­cated to the rela­tion­ship between the­atre, dance and visual arts. The­atre, per­for­mance and chore­og­ra­phy nowa­days enter into an inten­sive dialog with the visual arts. More and more often we take part in chore­o­graphed exhi­bi­tions, lec­ture per­for­mances, arranged sit­u­a­tions, and spec­ta­cles. We are wit­nesses to a phenomenon which has for some years now been defined as the “per­for­ma­tive turn”. It is a paradigm present in the human­i­ties and social sci­ences, con­sist­ing in the arrange­ment of every­day real­ity and its eval­u­a­tion through the cat­e­gory of expe­ri­ence. Fur­ther­more, this turn impacts the pres­ence of “live art” in muse­ums and gal­leries. Our series of meet­ings explores the inter­de­pen­den­cies between the­atre, dance, chore­og­ra­phy, and the visual arts — from Judson Church and the attempts of democ­ra­tiz­ing move­ment via new forms of the “per­for­mance of knowl­edge”, the role of the audi­ence as part­ners of artists’ activ­i­ties, and the use of per­for­ma­tive strate­gies in actions taking place in the shared zone of arts and pol­i­tics. We will also attempt at work­ing out a common vocab­u­lary of the per­for­ma­tive arts. Each meet­ing has its unique form that pushes the bound­aries of a traditional edu­ca­tional event.
