Background information:

This is the third iteration of a concept proposed by WeiZen Ho. In this process artists consider and reformulate the language/vocabulary that has been built up  around their practices over time. The provocation is to identify and play with the concept of performature and performateur, investigating how those terms can shift their approach towards performance - devising. The exploration is also to consider aspects of each artists’ practice that expands the notion of what is "performative".
