They move freely, feel the music and enter a performative trance, rarely even ecstasy. → 8.12, 5:00 - 8 pm (Barbara, Świdnicka Street 8b) AUTOMATIC WRITING ALSO KNOW AS PSYCHOGRAPHY // It is the psychic ability to create a set of words automatically. The technique, especially used by the Dadaists and Surrealists in the 20th century, allowed for subconsciously creating clusters of words, which were then analyzed by the artists.

Based on the principles of clubbing, post-dance and electronic music, we will extend these movements in physical space and create the interdisciplinary performance "LUCIDITY". Starting from the community, we will create the content of the show. According to the Cambridge dictionary, lucidity means "the ability to think clearly, especially when it is momentary." The performance will be influenced by the soundtrack, which is to consist of ambient/meditative and electronic music. WORKSHOPS LEADER ↓ ↓ ↓ Arnis Aleinikovas is a Lithuanian interdisciplinary artist born in 1995.
