WORKSHOP: THINKING IN ACTION
Meet the director of Doppelgängers³ and Festival Jury of Festival of Future Storytellers Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian!
A Conversation and Filmed Experiment on Queer Ecofeminist Futures and World Peace With Nelly Ben Hayoun - Stépanian
This 2 hour workshop will start with a short presentation on Nelly’s diverse documentary practice and invites drag queens, drag kings, any queers who want to dress up, and any willing participants to step inside the world of the Nelly's new work-in-progress feature documentary Heartsnatcher. This is an opportunity to connect also with previous participants to this workshop at Queer Wave Cyprus and be a part of a global network of talents. Participants will warm up together, then split into groups to test script lines and embody three key scenes: Timortis climbing the hill in search of world peace, Clementine’s hallucinatory birth, and the International Space Station reimagined as a Love Hotel. The session offers the chance to improvise, perform, and contribute ideas, textures, and props, helping shape the living storyboard of this new documentary in development.
There will be filming and photography taking place at the workshop.
