Performative Drawing

This workshop focuses on exploring the possibilities of performative drawing and its application in educational contexts.

 

The main source of inspiration is the creative approach of Czech artist duo David Böhm & Jiří Franta, whose work challenges traditional notions of drawing by integrating movement, space, and collaboration. Their approach encourages us to think differently about drawing – not merely as a final product, but as a process, a shared experience, and a physical and emotional engagement. It allows participants to let go of the pressure to produce a specific outcome and instead focus on the act of creation itself and its transformative potential.

 

The workshop builds on the facilitator’s long-term experience with future teachers in primary and pre-primary education – students whose primary field of study is not visual art. The aim is to spark inspiration, offer a transformative experience, and open up new perspectives on drawing as a tool for creativity, communication, and pedagogical sensitivity.
