Tino Sehgal : how is it possible to work with Tino Sehgal's ideas and concepts in practical work

Abstract

In this thesis I explore how Tino Sehgal’s ideas and concepts can be used in practical work for a theatre practitioner as myself.My approach is practice-as-research, based on experience from a workshop lead by Louise Höjer - one of Tino Sehgal’s close collaborators - combined with reviews and opinions written about the artist and his work.The first part of the thesis explains what theories I use for analysing the gathered material. The second part explores this material and in the tired part I gather together the elements I have found, in order to make it possible to work with Tino Sehgal’s ideas and concepts in practical work.
