Some possible questions to address:
What is a community in the context of protest movements?
To what extent it is self-described and to what extent it is an imposed description?
Does visibility empower us or make us more vulnerable?
What’s the power in being unmarked?
How can artists be information brokers between echo chambers?
How networked discontent creates leaderless movements?
How to swap the traditional positions of strategy and tactics between leaders and crowds?
How to subvert social media platforms from mode of control into tools of emancipation?
How to make visible different types of non-physical violence?
What can bodies and movement do in public space and what’s the role of artists?

保加利亞籍藝術家亞森．瓦西列夫（Yasen Vasilev）正在尋找演員、舞者或表演者共同創作《NUTRICULA－台北版》，無相關經驗可。有興趣的表演者可以參與為期三天的工作坊，了解合作模式及創作理念，接著在兩週的排練中，進一步發展出屬於自己的版本。
創作過程中表演者須依循下列規則，以進入特定的心理狀態：
1. 將身體部位視為無關功能性的獨立物件
2. 挑戰不同身體部位的極限
《NUTRICULA》（中譯：燈塔水母）為保加利亞籍藝術家亞森．瓦西列夫（Yasen Vasilev）持續進行之創作計畫，希望邀請不同領域的表演者共同發展單人身體表演。表演者透過肢體語言展現全球化與在地性之間的緊張關係，促使瓦西列夫不斷重製此作。在既定的規則下，表演者的社會政治背景以及個人經歷都會影響對於作品的詮釋以及運用空間的方式。
最終呈現的檔案紀錄可視為藝術家對當前資本主義的抵抗。與其不斷發展新概念產出新創作，瓦西列夫更希望重複運用相同概念，藉由不同表演者的個人特質發展出不同版本的作品。瓦西列夫藉此計畫揭露全球經濟體系如何影響我們生活、生產與再製的方式，以及我們如何透過自己的身體作出回應。

NUTRICULA is a growing archive which invites performers from different backgrounds to activate a structure for a physical solo.
The work intends to bring performers to a specific state-of-mind by inviting them to follow simple rules – 1. explore the different body parts as objects separate from their function 2. test their limits.
Initially, a collaboration with Kwame Boafo, a Ghanaian performance artist, the collaboration faced obstacles because of visa and passport issues in both China and the EU. More here／https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3MqWQMEEYE&t=1s
The continuation of the work with various performers in different contexts is to a large extent a reaction to the political and economic conditions artists face today. More here／http://ednetwork.eu/…/how-to-develop-an-art-practice-in-ti…/
What interests me in the re-production of this work is the tension between global and local within the performer’s body, the way the socio-political background and the biography are informing the work and the way the performer claims space within the strict concept.
The resulting archive is a rejection of the capitalist imperative of constant production of new material instead replaced by recycling of the same form in a variety of versions, shaped by the identity of each collaborator.
In the process we are uncovering how a global economic system shapes the way we live, produce and reproduce and how we react to it on a local level, limited by our own bodies.
I am looking for both professional and non-professional actors, dancers and performers interested to go through a 3-day introduction workshop of the working method and potentially make their own versions of the work in two full weeks of rehearsal.
The full rehearsals will be remunerated but the piece does not intend to reach “a production”.

《抱朴子》為一部中國古代講述煉丹修練術的經典。全書分為兩篇，《內篇》共20卷，講述長生不老與丹道修煉方法；而《外篇》共52卷，談論政治及社會上的各種事情。
藝術家亞森．瓦西列夫以中國古籍《抱朴子》作為藝術研究計畫之文本，因此發起此讀書會，希望與參與者一同閱讀、討論這本經典。

Baopuzi is an Ancient Chinese Alchemical text, separated in two parts – Inner (dealing with immortality and alchemy; consisting of 20 chapters or “scrolls”) and Outer (dealing with politics and society, consisting of 52 chapters or “scrolls”).
Initiated by the artist in residence playwright Yasen Vasilev we are setting up a study group to read and discuss the text on the following dates
