anne waldman (usa)

dichterin, performancekünstlerin, mitbegründerin (gemeinsam mit allen ginsberg) der jack kerouac school of disembodied poetics in boulder, colorado

kurzklasse: “dakini poetics”

in the tibetan buddhist tradition the “dakini” is a sky-walker, a feminine energy principle of shapeshifting playfulness and exchange who keeps you on your toes. using the image of the “dakini” as a metaphor for our creative imagination, we will explore some ”experiments of attention”, drawing on dream, memory, the de-centering of the first person “I”, and consider collaboration and performance as modes of working in the world.
