Artist Ed Woodham leads a workshop with 15 art students from the ProArte Foundation to create collective and individual visual performative public works based on the festival theme ‘MODEL’. The works are presented in scheduled public performances each day of the festival: as posed fashion tableaus, as waltzing architectural maquettes, as crawling sculptural theories, and as processional prototypical paintings. The theater ensemble “Light People” also participates in the performances.
