Performative practices
The main field of study in performative practices is communication, mindfulness, multitasking, presence, authorship, community building, creating statement and moderating processes through basic ideas about action, body and space.

Alexandr Andriyashkin has been teaching performative practices since 2006 mainly through laboratories, 3−7 day workshops and modular teaching within theatre institutions.

The approach is based on the idea that the way we stand shows our attitude to ourselves, the world and others. And the way we walk clearly reflects our attitude to action and interaction.
Usually during classes we work with "simple" tasks and exercises to observe ourselves on a bodily level in relation to basic principles (partnership, communication, group interaction, etc.). The body is a good and accurate marker. By observing something or acquiring a skill in the body, we automatically influence all our attitudes, processes, reactions and structures.
Alexandr develops perfo practices in several directions:

/ ACTORS
To develop and apply bodily and psychophysical skills both in the repertoire already in progress and in working on new roles. Gaining experience of taking care of one’s body and tools, allowing one to maintain psychological stability and mobility at the same time.

/ CITIZENS
For those who are interested in applying contemporary art methods to other areas of activity, gaining the experience of paying attention to their body and its connection to the intellectual, emotional, energetic and intuitive.

/ DANCERS
To add volume to current dance skills. Understanding what else to pay attention to during performance, variation in the relationship during the dance to the audience, to statement, etc

/ BUSINESS COMPANIES
mainly to build communication skills within teams, increase ways of interacting within a project, dealing with conflict situations and getting direct hands-on experience of these issues rather than just words.
