Text

‘We’ is a strange language thing. Depending on its use and context the plural first-person pronoun may include or exclude you and me, the readers; it may co-opt us into unwanted communities or turn us into majesties. Inside the participatory performance Questionology - Program for Applied Questioning (Daus/Ruth 2021), we-speak was used as a central element for world-building. In their dialogical workshop Cordula Daus and Charlotta Ruth take up this thread to further explore the potentials and qualities of constrained we-speaking and writing with fellow language nerds. The participants are invited to one-on-one walks and error-friendly conversational improvisations: What happens when we leave the 'I' behind? How does language (English) perform through 'us'?
