Complimenta III - Artist Residency

Interactive Training on Power + experiments in development

An investigation of power. What is it, what types, what forms. In practice, how is it built and what are its tools. Part conversation, reflection, live action, argument, implementation. The session introduces fundamental theories based on community organizing (social power), witchery (sacred power) and art (creative power). With this theoretical framework, the training will expand to concrete practice and experiments in its creation. We all deal with power constantly, as it acts upon, with, or against us. But do we know what it IS? Is the subject too dirty? To use it, want it, hate it, harness it or even deal with it begs an attempt at understanding. This training is for anyone looking to give the amorphous beast a shape.
