On our world’s stage, where economic and social systems move deeply into relations of the capital, La Pocha Nostra‘s and VestAndPage‘s generous theory and practice stress the complexity of being human – the pleasures and the pains. Before knowing you I was wondering what motivates artists to give, to share initiatory processes. To me, you have been the experience that embodies what art can do: assigning sacred tasks to the human imaginary, you showed me that I might be able to live my life as a work of art. I understand that efforts are required, as well as sacrifice – but everybody has his part on the stage. – Francesca Carol Rolla, 2017

The performance troupe La Pocha Nostra (US/Mexico) and artist duo VestAndPage have chosen to merge their unique pedagogical practices and announce a joint immersive performance class as part of the ART WEEK | Workshop Series. With this project, they will inaugurate a brand-new pedagogical campus at C32performingartsworkspace in Venice, Italy, situated in the heart of Parco del Contemporaneo at Forte Marghera, a historical park facing the western bank of the Venice lagoon. A final public sharing of the workshop will be presented on Tuesday, June 6.
