Exploring Free Form
As one of the top street artists that represent MIA, internationally renowned – KAZILLA is famous for creating true ‘performance art’. Painting live murals and works of art in the spotlight for a myriad of audiences, such as leading recording artists and their masses of onlookers, museums, exclusive events, major brands, print and TV. To most it would be a bit unnerving, asked to make a masterpiece in front of hundreds, sometimes thousands of eyes, all watching your every move and mistake. Using the pressure and constant critique to her advantage, Kazilla has mastered the art of “free hand”, “working your mistakes, instead of your mistakes working you”, “speed painting” and the “minute masterpiece”. The best part of KAZILLA’s “work” is that 95% of her live work is indeed free handed.
Exploring free form: We all have good and bad habbits, all learned through past behaviors. The beauty of free hand or “live” work is that the act of pure inspiration and creation comes from a place without habbits. Dive deeper than the mental, deep within your psyche/DNA/ancestral lines, or WHEREVER your ‘make and break’ primal instinct has sprung from. once your are free from that pre-conceived notion, we are open to formulate organic thoughts and concepts and therefore our creativity flows freely. Bruce Lee couldn’t have put it better when he remarked : “You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.”

In this workshop we will break down the normal routine, explore ways to open the mental process to new avenues of direction and inspiration. Then comes the fun part – getting loose. Make a mess, or a masterpiece. Either way it will leave you with a few simple ways to bring a constant flow of inspired ideas, no matter what the task. As a bonus, the collective end result will be included in the ‘Laser Cat’ phenomenon at the end of the festival. Join Kazilla as she discusses her craft and gets the entire audience involved in creating a one of a kind masterpiece. Things could get a little messy, but not to worry, we have your back.
