"In this 2 days intensive workshop, Petra Sabisch will introduce the open platform everybodys by presenting the general project, its motivations and modes of functioning. We will use and further develop everybodys' workshop kit by playing some of its games and, on the basis of our experience, discuss the relation between the games and the content produced. Finally, we will end with a lecture-presentation of everybodys by the entire group."

The workshop is intended for young theatre and dance artists, dramaturges and students of social sciences. The price for outside participants is € 40. You can apply by sending an e-mail to jasmina.zaloznik@maska.si.

"The artists’ collective Everybodys is an open group initiated in 2005, that implements open source strategies in the performing arts. The key motivation for applying the open source methodology is to develop new ways of sharing knowledge and producing specific discourses in the performing arts in order to redefine our conditions of work and the parameters of exchange, to generate heterogeneous works, to escape the restricted access to works, and to deviate traditional conceptions of authorship. Everybodys is an internet platform for texts and discussion, a workshop kit in-progress, encompassing tools and interview-games designed to facilitate discussions on performance work. This kit develops through the "integral feedback" of its usage. Everybody is invited to use it, to develop it further and to join in at www.everybodystoolbox.net."
