The experimental laboratory is intended to convey and make tangible the possibilities and potential of performance as a medium for self-definition and self-reflection in the classroom. With the help of performative exercises, students can gather their own experiences on their own body as well as on a cognitive level, and perceive performance as a meaningful means for a reflected approach in (art) teaching.

Together, extended approaches for performative exercises in the classroom will be developed and also realised within the course. The process of experiencing and living through performative practice is an essential part of the course and is important for teaching performance as an art form in class. Towards the end of the semester, individual performative approaches and their possible applications as well as thematic references will be didactically prepared so that they can be included in the students' own everyday teaching.  

- Active cooperation and participation in the performative exercises
- Attendance (max. 2 absences due to illness must be documented with a doctor's certificate)
- In case of more than 2 absences, the course must be repeated or supplemented by selected and documented lectures from Bits & Bites (in case of didactics).
- Development and realization of an own exercise at the end of the semester

Limited number of participants* (max. 12) - early registration recommended
