A workshop created around the theme of "oneself" in which, while experiencing the work "Disco" and
through "seeing / painting = performing", one meets and dialogues with oneself.
The workshop itself is a performance that expands the "Disco" platform. The emergent unknown self, or
what might be called "Other Head, Other Body", initiates new events.
◆Study Group: Workshops conducted by specialists (not open to the public)
A study group made up of specialists from various fields who come together to explore the possibilities
for using "Disco".
