The 16th edition of the Performance Art Studies workshop will take place from the 4th – 16th October 2010 in Kirschau and Berlin in Germany.

The aim of this 12 day intensive workshop is for the participants to develop a performance art work, based on the theme of the studies, which they will present in public performances in Kirschau and Berlin.
