Time：2017.10.15 Sun. 3-8pm
Venue：Taipei Contemporary Art Center, No. 11, Lane 49, Baoan Street, Taipei (MRT: Daqiaotou Station)
This workshop will engage all participants in learning the possibilities and creative process on how to make an alter ego. To inspire them, the artist will talk about the origin and artistic evolution of his alter ego “Bohovee” and also he will let them watch short video clips of his past performances.
This workshop includes three phases. Starting with the introduction of one’s self to know each participant’s personal background, second is a drawing activity to visualize one’s desired alter ego, and finally is presenting the background narrative and the special character. Through participating in this event one will learn and discover their creative potentials of the “other self”. Possibly one that has been suppressed inside of us. This activity can also provide a kind of contemplation about the mundane personality that we only get used to recognize.
About the Artist
Martin Lorenzo P. de Mesa, with a bachelor degree from College of Fine Arts, University of the Philippines, holds great interests in performances such as Japanese Butoh. He started to produce videos of performance back in college, and in recent years tries to create performances combining role-play and Shaman rituals.

Upset by the personal experience of his family, Martin Lorenzo P. de Mesa was in fear, and then tries to understand his brother via psychiatry and traditional religions.

現今Vogue主要分為三種風格：Old Way, New Way and Vogue Femme。此工作坊將由Sun Phitthaya Phaefuang帶領，課程中將專注於Vogue Femme，它是三種Vogue風格中最女性化的舞蹈風格，並深入介紹Vogue Femme的五種基礎元素：hand performance, catwalk, duckwalk, floor performance & dips等，參與者可在新的肢體開發嚐試中，體驗由內而外伸展的性感力量。
