‘AGAINST THE PERFORMATIVE (Rethinking The Development Of Performances: Cally Spooner’s Corpus Creation’


2pm / Playground, Leuven

“The government should be run like a great American company. Our hope is that we can achieve successes and efficiencies for our customers, who are the citizens.”
—Jared Kushner, 2017.

Since 2012 Corpus functions as a collaborative network for commissioning and presenting new performance work in a visual art context. The aim of the six core partners is to establish a new kind of structure that might improve the conditions for commissioning performance, to stimulate its production and development, and to generate strength in the emergent global conversation about “performance”. Cally Spooner, with a Corpus production that she developed across Redcat in Los Angeles, Bulegoa z/b in Bilbao and Playground, will zoom in on her new project and company that rethinks the notion of performance followed by a Q&A with Corpus partners.
