In Association with Bookville, The Publishathon Event, Hull Art Lab
2006
As part of the Bookville Publishathon at Hull Art Lab, June 2006, Maggie Tran hosted a workshop that comprised of three sections, over three days -
1. Play - Exploring different types of performances with spontaneous activities to free up space for creativity, stop thinking, start doing, splurge and see what comes out.
2. Perform
A journey throughout the city of Hull the possibilities and ways of making performance in different types of spaces From trying out performances in an tent at Hull Art Lab and whilst live streamed on a monitor outside of it, to exploring 'exhibitionism' in a park and making interventions in a private home.
3. Publish
A chance to take an performance idea developed from the workshop or ones' own performance project, to hone down on it and to publish it. Participants were assisted as much as possible to actualise piece (documentation, the marketing of their work etc). Artist Jo Ray for example used Hull Art Lab as a workspace and created 'Hides' to take around the city, to observe people from and to take down notes. A piece she carried on developing after the Publishathon was finished.
