Hosted at Metal Peterborough, a workshop with performance artist Stacy Makishi, for anyone who is struggling with procrastination and motivation when making work and has a curiousness about live art and performance.

Date: Monday 23 September, 11am – 5:30pm and Tuesday 24 September, 11am – 5:30pm (attendees can attend one or both workshops) 

Do you kill your creative ideas before they’re born? Do you notice that the more time you have, the less you get done? Are you constantly getting in your own way? 

Stacy Makishi introduces Killing Time. This workshop will motivate participants to:  

• Move faster than think
• Create faster than critique
• Resist resistance
• Pulverize procrastination

Killing Time is a physical workshop that welcomes anyone who is curious about live art and performance and those who want to learn from other artists or other art forms. There will be movement, writing, making images, flash performances, and making performance responses.

Participants are encouraged to come along with a willingness to try out new ideas and an adventurous spirit to walk out into the unknown. No experience necessary. Attendees can attend one or both workshops.
