Blind Date: Booklaunch Emma Haugh
Kunsthaus Glarus
18.00-20.00
Following the invitation to a Blind Date, Emma Haugh has collaged materials together from Adrian Piper’s ‘Notes on Funk 1&2’ (1984), a collaborative lecture performance on Funk music, it’s history, relation to race and class, and the learning of funk dance moves for the cover of her own Reading Troupe Manual 02. The Manual contains instructions for a performative and theatrical reading technique. In RT sessions readers are invited to participate in an active embodiment of knowledge dissemination and production. This collaborative practice is an attempt to collectively enter the body of a chosen text through improvisation and amateur dramatics rather than analytic and academic language.
