The Players Workshop | Yoann Bourgeois

The Players’ Workshop is a nomadic research space questioning living art and it forms the basis of Bourgeois’ artistic approach, serving the development of his activities. Yoann Bourgeois designed it to assemble a group of artists from different fields with a simple directive to “play with one another.” It establishes a research site and clarifies a singular relationship with performing arts.

Using games and trampolines, the collective approach of the workshop helps encourage the development of concrete tools to increase attention and encourage structured thought around the concept of being present.

The vertigo games attempt to break down for an instant perception’s stability, projecting upon lucid consciousness as a sort of sensual panic. The simulation games push one to become another. Delving deeper, participants will explore possible links between the two game categories. The method reflects the conditions necessary for play: free, separate, uncertain, unproductive and regulated actions.
