DTP Online – A conversation with Aldobranti
Monday, 12 December 2023, 20:00 – 21:00 BST, London Time
Draw to Perform is inviting you to join the upcoming conversation between artists Ram Samocha and Aldobranti. In this Zoom meeting, Aldobranti will give a short presentation of his practice. This will be followed by a talk between the two artists about the drawing process, the artist’s body, performing to the camera, and the idea of MOVEMENT suspending THINKING.
DTP Online is a program by Draw to Perform which includes an hour studio visit to artists that relate to contemporary drawing, performative drawing, and live art. These online events are giving the audience an opportunity to get a closer look at the work of key artists in the genre. They also give the audience a chance to observe the artist’s creative process and their choice of materials and techniques as the work progresses.

Today was the last day of my solo exhibition Drawing after Performance at the Phoenix Art Space in Brighton.
I did not have a solo show in a ‘white cube gallery space’ for a long time and I am happy that the idea I had in mind of using this space differently was successful. I decided to share this large space and use it not only for showing art on the walls but to turn it into a performative space that is active, changing, and serving the community.
Creating this complex project that included a solo show, an international festival and using this space to display works of art, workshops, talks and live performances, was challenging but worth it. This whole vision would not happen without the great support of many people and organizations.
We would like to thank Art Council England for supporting this large project by Draw to Perform. We would like to thank all the creative and talented artists that participated in the festival and also the wonderful supporting artists, dancers, and musicians. We would like to thank the Phoenix Art Space for this collaboration and Cass Art for supporting us with art materials. Big thanks to our amazing photographer Marco, videographers Daniel and Josh, sound technician Vince and all volunteers.
And finally to all our amazing family that without their help, patience and care there was no chance of making this project as successful as it was.
Thanks to all our audience, on-site and online, and to all those who have followed us all these years and are part of this growing community for performative drawing. See you next time in 2023 in the activities and celebrations of ten years to Draw to Perform.

Here are some close-ups of the artwork. All were part of the alternative tours that we did as part of our collaboration with the Enayball & Sussex Dance Network.
Free Your Map explored the city through the eyes and art of people who use wheelchairs. An accessible visual arts tour exhibiting work by disabled artists that draw with the Enayball tool created by @drawtoperform and @enayball and SDN.

The strength of the DTP online mentorship is the ability to tailor the program to the very specific needs of the apprentice.
