Make temporary arrangements with objects and find out how they change your movements.

Let the objects move you
Mingu, the Prague-based duo of Mara Ingea and En-Ping Yu, works with object theatre, devised performance and installation. For this Human Rights Arts Festival workshop, participants will build temporary arrangements from everyday objects and try guided physical improvisation. You need no performance experience. The experiment asks how the things around us shape our habits and choices when we treat them as collaborators.
The two-hour session takes place at the Human Rights Learning Centre inside Jing-Mei White Terror Memorial Park. It is a selected workshop for ages fifteen and over, with twenty places and ten reserves. Applications run September 29–October 13; results are announced October 20 by email. Accepted participants must pay the NT$500 deposit by October 30. The workshop itself is free.
