PROTOCOL — APRIL–MAY 2025

STACY MAKISHI — CPPM WORKSHOP

SOURCE

Participant-compiled ten-day protocol.

The workshop develops through repeated cycles of:

• checking in;
• listening;
• sharing;
• retelling;
• making quickly;
• performing imperfectly;
• receiving a response;
• allowing material to change through another person.

OVERALL MOVEMENT

WEEK ONE

The first week externalises personal material through:

• movement;
• voice;
• objects;
• installation;
• shame;
• failure;
• creative blockage;
• longing;
• fantasy;
• homage;
• short performance structures.

The participant is repeatedly asked to make before fully understanding.

Material is shared, retold and altered by other people.

WEEK TWO

The second week intensifies:

• compassion;
• response;
• second chances;
• high-stakes material;
• tiredness;
• fame and shame;
• collective object work;
• subtext;
• physical difficulty;
• vulnerability;
• consent;
• gift exchange;
• preparation for public sharing.

The work moves from:

PERSONAL MATERIAL

toward:

RELATIONAL AND COLLECTIVE TRANSFORMATION.

CENTRAL WORKSHOP PROPOSITION

A performance does not need to begin from mastery.

It may begin from:

• shame;
• failure;
• confusion;
• not knowing;
• tiredness;
• longing;
• an object;
• a misunderstanding;
• an imperfect response.

The material becomes performative through:

• attention;
• framing;
• care;
• relation;
• repetition;
• intervention;
• risk;
• public sharing.
