Inhalt In this course we venture into a format with roots in conceptual art. Existing since the 1960s as a subgenre of performance, the lecture-performance or performance-lecture has its roots in the performance and conceptual art of the 1960s, and balances on the boundary between art and academia. And that ist the moment 'religion' as a concept comes into play. 'Religion' as the ultimate sensemaking framework of actors in the terrestrial field.

In this course the lecture space is becoming an experimental performance space. What we focus on is a type of presentation that goes beyond the academic format of the lecture. Artists (not only visual or performance) use the lecture to turn it into a performance space which fuses aspects of dance, drama and of visual and other media disciplines. Hybrid it borrows heavily from anywhere else: Often from elements such as transmedia storytelling, music, performative arts and other technologies and ecologies. It acts on multi-levels to juxtapose and contrast and subvert scientific arguments playing 'religious' rhetorics and tools.

The performance lecture at its best has varied functions and elements operating on multiple levels and layers in the field of our ecologies of attention. These can form an auditive, haptic and visual rhetoric or performative actions and artistic non-sequiturs. Techniques of storytelling and propaganda or more straight forward education lectures and audiovisual material are used to explore the relationship between sounds, images, bodies, senses and texts or between consensus and facts, or contrasting ideas or narratives. It questions the audience/performer/viewer/listener divisions in experience and plays with inter- and intra-action to open up a reflexive spaces enabling us to challenge the dichotomies between 'sciences'/'arts' and 'religions'.


Lernziele 1) Students will discover ways of detecting rhetorics of 'religon' in speaches as disparate as 'Going to space to benefit Earth' (2019) from Jeff Bezos and 'Von der Sorge' (2021) from Luisa Neubauer at the Berliner Dom.

2) Students will exchange and develop with invited artists and researchers to develop their own approaches towards the format.

3) Based on their own field of research students will be given the opportunity to create and perform their own short performance lecture (15').
