Introduction
1. What is Trigger – Performance Art Workshop For the Trigger workshop, I have this imagination:
An art gallery space, an exhibition site;
Seven or eight young artists;
Five days, seven hours a day;
Guided by the tutor, equal communication.
Through observation, explanation, discussion and practice, they will mobilise and trigger their unique perception, imagination, thinking and action, and express them in a unique way.
2. The workload is heavy, requiring physical and mental concentration and attention throughout.
The Trigger workshop has a clear course structure to ensure that each section unfolds in a gradual and targeted manner, with the goal of maximising and releasing each person’s creativity and uniqueness.
The Trigger workshop takes place in the museum’s exhibition space, so many of the topics and exercises in the course will borrow from the exhibition’s space and artwork resources in a targeted manner, forming a unique and effective interaction with them.
Trigger is not a popular performance art education workshop, and we hope that people who are interested in creating art will sign up for it. We are all students in front of art, and we look forward to sharing the harvest!

The course consists of three parts
The ‘Trigger – Performance Art Workshop’ will be held in the gallery of ‘Gravity and Favour’, a solo exhibition by Shinji Omaki at A4 Art Museum, and many of the topics and exercises in the course will borrow the space and resources of the works in the exhibition to form a targeted interaction. Interactive. The workshop will progress through three stages.
1 Exchange and Discussion
Discussions are held throughout the course, combining the specific content of the course and the works observed to engage in dialogue and deepen theoretical understanding on many topics of performance art. Discussions are meant to clarify and strengthen each person’s individual judgement and self-awareness and cognition.
2 Practice Practice Practice
The core of the workshop is for the participants to do it physically. The exercises start from the feeling and understanding of the body and mind, from easy to difficult, the understanding and application of individual expression, interaction and cooperation, spatial and temporal elements, intervention in public space (the focus of this workshop), the working method from practice to creation, and so on, combined with the after-school assignments, and the practices are carried out.
3 Final Exhibition
The exhibition will present the participants’ individual performance works, which are essential for upgrading the gains from the exercises to the level of creativity, and for fully mastering all aspects of the process, from conception and preparation to the execution of a piece of work.
