8 – 9 – 10 February at RUFA Space, at the Pastificio Cerere in Via degli Ausoni 7. Free entrance.

Performance art is a discipline that is rooted in the body, the mind, the physical and temporal reality of the everyday experience.
The performance art course at RUFA focuses on giving the students the tools to create performance art, combining practical techniques and conceptual development. Students gain the preparatory tools, knowledge and confidence to explore the creation of individual and collaborative performance works.
Guided through a particular creative process by the artist and professor Marta Jovanović, students have created the “PERFORMANCE CLUSTER” event, a series of performances that took place 8th-10th February inside RUFA Space, in the evocative setting of the Pastificio Cerere. The event was open to the public.
