The Ways of Performance Art: The Void

By Dr Michael W Barrett and PhD

Eastern philosophies, particularly Zen, emphasize the importance of experiential understanding over abstract reasoning. This perspective resonates deeply within the realm of performance art, where the emphasis lies on the lived experience rather than strictly theoretical analysis. While Western philosophy tends to prioritize logic, categorization, and rigid belief systems, Eastern traditions invite us to embrace a more fluid approach. They remind us that the act of creating art, similarly to the act of living, arises from an immersion in direct, sensory experience. The Ways of Performance Art is an ongoing lecture performance series by Dr. Michael Barrett. It explores the transformative, revolutionary potential of performance art in the 21st century while challenging conventional boundaries of art, identity, and pedagogy.
