Six intensive weekend workshops led by artists renowned for their approaches to making, facilitation and participation. Artsadmin’s Weekenders are open to all practitioners regardless of level of experience; all that is required is an openness to meet, talk, play, perform and collaborate.

Curated by the advisory team at Artsadmin, the series reflects a wide range of performance practices.

Dreams [Smaerd] Smeared By Jude Anogwih The work investigates the anticipations expectations, hopes, aspirations, ambitions of an individual and his/her dreams in the society. The elements interactively aid in determining the realization of these dreams, or the sometimes disappointments. Dreams are imaginary. They are threads that link the real and the imagined (illusive). They are imaginary lines of possibilities influenced by thinking or from bygone activities. More Videos @: http://vimeo.com/ccalagos
