Perf11 & Perfo! (Pori & Tampere Fi. / 20-21 / 25 May)

Well, it's been a few years since we've participated in the Performative get-togethers in Finland, and it all seems to be getting better, more extensive, expansive, internationally acclaimed and interesting... I nearly didn't make it but sure am glad I (at least) could after all- even though in a reduced capacity... the original program was perhaps too ambitious - but it also highlighted this 'aporia' aspect and the problems of working together apart...

The original team consisted of various nationalities living in different parts of Belgium, meaning that applications for support had to be filed with different agencies - (a performance all in it's own category to be sure) - as well as being multi-facetted... so we will have to get back on the different reports later.
