‘Your Time’, a workshop by Lisette Ros
INTRODUCTION
For nearly a decade, conceptual and performance artist Lisette Ros also has developed and delivered curricula, workshops, and performative lectures that merge artistic research with knowledge exchange. Her practice is deeply rooted in exploring the construction of identity, gender performativity, the fluidity of self-perception, and the invisible structures that shape daily life. Through workshops such as The Construction of Identity, The Fluidity Thereof, Your Self?, and Your Roots, she creates collective spaces where participants engage in critical inquiry, embodiment, and cultural reflection.
Beyond workshop facilitation, Ros actively engages in cultural entrepreneurship by forging long-term partnerships, interdisciplinary networks, and institutional collaborations, sharing en building relationships around the globe. Through this ongoing integration of artistic practice, education, and cultural exchange, Ros seeks to challenge conventional narratives, question box-thinking, and explore new modes of perception —both individually and collectively.
ROUGH OUTLINE WORKSHOP DAY Your Time
The workshop day Your Time taking place at the Kolenkitkas in Amsterdam West is a try-out for this brand-new workshop exploring the multifaceted concept of time—its structures, perceptions, and embodied experiences. Through movement, observation and material-based exploration, participants will engage with various notions of time, including:
• Chronos: clock-time, structured and linear.
• Kairos: empty time.
• Bodily time, psychological time, biological rhythms.
• The weight and passing of time, timing and momentum.
This workshop follows a practice-based and personal approach, integrating individual and collective explorations on the basis of exercises related to our senses, and inspired by known and unknown (performance) artists working with time.
Ros: "I will work closely with participants, offering personal attention and fostering an environment for deep exploration. Deconstruction will serve as an entry point, allowing us to reconstruct through shared and personal experiences. I will also contribute my own vulnerabilities, body and experiences.
I expect the freedom of using your own mind, commitment, inner- and outer body, personal creativity and individual techniques from the participants."
This workshop is a process-driven experience.
