Drawing performance is a multidisciplinary form of art, which focuses on the use of drawing as a performative tool, and on sharing the creative process with the audience via live action. Using a wide range of methods of artistic expression (i.e. mark making, dance, light & sound) the artists creates a dialogue with the viewer while exploring how drawing can be used as a way to communicate and to collaborate.
DTP ONLINE is a unique program that offers professional artists and art students an opportunity for personally tailored mentorship in the art of drawing performance. The program is guided and mentored by Ram Samocha, a nationally and internationally acclaimed drawing performance artist and the founder of Draw to perform.
This mentorship is a weeklong online program, designed for a single artist. It includes daily Skype/Zoom sessions, creative exercises, artistic brainstorming and personalized coaching with Ram Samocha. It will start with investigation of the artist’s current body of work and identification of motifs and elements, which can be translated and expanded into live action. By exploring different methods of performance (on camera and video, to online audience or as a personal undocumented process of exploration) the artist will work on a new creation demonstrating their own artistic DNA, which is transformed into action. The artist will be given an opportunity to showcase their work in live streaming within the different platforms of Draw to Perform.

There is a wide range of artists, designers, and other creative people who could benefit from exposure and training in drawing performance.
These include traditional fine art artists who focus on painting and drawing. These artists will benefit the creation of a live dialog with their viewer, which helps to enrich, augment and challenge the creative process.
On the other side are performance artists (dancers, actors, musicians) who wish to expand their range of expression. For these artists, the focus would be on finding how mark making, and the creation of a visual image can add an additional layer to their creation. These artists gain from expanding their creative toolbox with an additional powerful mode of expression.
The mentorship is also suited to individuals who are not necessarily from the artistic world but who wish to use performative and expressive art as part of holistic communication, therapy or as a meditative tool.
