Getting Started or: How to Cope with the Challenges of a New Start in a New System?

With Neslihan Arol (Clown, Scientist, Stand Up Comedian, Meddahlık)

How do you get started as an artist in self-exile and/or at risk, being challenged by new procedures and inquiries? How do you cope with the emotional load that this big change unquestionably brings with itself? How do you use and channel your creative potential despite the challenges that you face artistically in a new country? The Host Neslihan Arol will share her experiences as an artist with a Turkish background and encourage the participants to ask and exchange about theirs, to share knowledge and encourage artistic connections and community building.

In English and Turkish spoken language.

This workshop takes place in the framework of Exiled Lives on the Stage: Practices of Self-Fashioning, Archiving and Decolonization. You can find more info here.
