In this masterclass, Tales Frey offers a theoretical and practical introduction to the concept of the performative garment, understood as a device capable of transforming the ways bodies move, perceive and relate to one another. Through artistic references and bodily experiments, participants will explore the relationships between dressing, action, play and togetherness, approaching the garment as a catalyst for events and new possibilities of experience.
