Sopa de letras: Workshop interdisciplinar de pintura/escritura

*English below!

 

“Coja un periódico. Coja unas tijeras. Escoja en el periódico un artículo de la longitud que quiera darle a su poema. Recorte el artículo. Recorte en seguida con cuidado cada una de las palabras que forman el artículo y métalas en una bolsa. Agite suavemente. Ahora saque cada recorte uno tras otro. Copie concienzudamente en el orden en que hayan salido de la bolsa. El poema se parecerá a usted. Y es usted un escritor infinitamente original y de una sensibilidad hechizante, aunque incomprendida por el vulgo.”

 

“Para hacer un poema dadaísta”, Tristan Tzara (1896 – 1963)

 

En este workshop vamos a utilizar distintas técnicas afines al dadaísmo como la escritura automática, el cadáver exquisito, el frottage y el collage para primero hacer poemas dadaístas y luego dedicarnos a producir imágenes visuales. Abriremos la puerta a procesos aleatorios y asociaciones libres como manera de despejar el intelecto y sumergirnos en una sopa de letras y manchas. El foco estará puesto en la búsqueda de un lenguaje propio a través de procedimientos lúdicos.

 

Algunos aspectos que vamos a trabajar:

 

-El color y cómo los colores se influencian entre sí

-La observación y las imágenes mentales

-Diferentes tipos de puntos, lineas, planos y texturas

-El rol de los procesos aleatorios en la producción de textos e imágenes

 

El contenido del workshop va a responder a los intereses y necesidades de los participantes y va a haber un seguimiento personalizado si bien trabajaremos con consignas grupales. La elección de los materiales estará en gran parte determinada individualmente por los alumnos. Para la primera clase por favor traigan los materiales con los que quieran trabajar.

 

La persona encargada de este workshop será: Eva Pedroza

 

Eva Pedroza es artista visual y docente, graduada de la Universidad de Arte de Berlin y de la Universidad Nacional de las Artes, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Para más información: www.evapedroza.com

 

El workshop será en español. También nos podemos comunicar en alemán, inglés y francés.

 

Cupo: hasta 6 personas

 

Precio: 70 Euros

 

4 clases: todos los miércoles de julio 17 a 19 hs.

Alphabet soup, an interdisciplinary workshop on painting and writing

 

“Take a newspaper.

Take some scissors.

Choose from this paper an article the length you want to make your poem.

Cut out the article.

Next carefully cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them all in a bag.

Shake gently.

Next take out each cutting one after the other.

Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.

The poem will resemble you.

And there you are—an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.”

 

“To make a Dadaist Poem” by Tristan Tzara (1896 – 1963)

 

 

In this workshop we will use different techniques related to Dadaism such as automatic writing, exquisite corpse, frottage and collage to first make dadaist poems and then dedicate ourselves to produce visual images. We will open the door to random processes and free associations in order to clear the intellect and immerse ourselves in a soup of letters and stains. The focus will be on exploring a personal language through playful procedures.

 

Some of the aspects that we will work on are:

 

-The color and how the colors influence each other

-Observation and mental images

-Different types of points, lines, planes and textures

-The role of random processes in the production of texts and images

 

The content of the workshop will respond to the interests and needs of the participants. We will be working with group exercises though there will be a personalized follow-up. The choice of materials will be largely determined by the students individually. Please bring your preferred materials for the first class.

 

The person in charge of the workshop will be Eva Pedroza.

 

Eva Pedroza is a visual artist and teacher. Eva graduated from the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the National University of the Arts (UNA), Buenos Aires, Argentina. For more information: www.evapedroza.com

 

The workshop will be held in Spanish. We can also communicate in German, English and French.

 

Capacity: up to 6 people

 

Price: 70 Euros

 

4 classes, every Wednesday during the month of July, 17:00 to 19:00 hours.

On the tracks of DADA – Creative writing workshop in DADA manner

We will develop, write, perform DADA-istic poems, lyrics, short texts and similar.

To get into the mood, we will work with a couple of writing games, exercises and stimuli, some of them to be found outside in the streets since DADA is a lot about the higgledy-piggledy of the surrounding, the noise, image, and slang mix in a big city.

The Workshop will take about 2 – 2,5 hours and will be held in English, but people of all nationalities and tongues are welcome.

You can write in English, Spanish, German, any other mother tongue or in no language at all, as DADA works – amongst others – with phonemes, sounds and tones.

When: June 26, from 18:00 to 20:00

Fee: 18€ p.p.

Workshop Leader: Claudia Helena Dietrich, is a Graduate Artist in Visual Communication, Author of Travel Books and Lyrics, and a certified Teacher in Poetry.

Since 2016 she conducts Creative Writing Workshops together with writing fellows and on her own.

The idea for the DADA workshop was born after she held a reading of some of her poems and performed a DADA sound poem together with her friend, the musician Ana Bejar from Madrid, at Bartleby’s in March 2017.
