Comment: "thanks to everyone - I thought action just didn't seem right - event or a groovy, summery happening sounds spot on! :-)"

action
It is definitely used in the field, although it sounds odd to my ears!
Workshop with the performance and action artists Francoise Vincent and Elohim Feria, who since 1993 act together as VINCENT + FERIA. With their performances they react on cities and spaces which they visit. Thereby researching the needed requisites in the local environment. V+F will give an overview over performance art and their own work and will then guide the participants in elaborating individual concepts. The focus will lie on actions and interventions of visual, social, esthetic, plastic, gastronomic nature. At the same time exploring geographic, socio-cultural and imaginary spaces, elaborate the relation between performance art and the environment, treat complex questions of life and our time, and experience the act of presentation as what it really is: a very special way of communication.
