The center is the possibility to communicate directly with others without words on different levels - even sometimes more understandable and precisely. The energy, or the situation, or the moment he creates is a personal manifestation of privacy and cultural context. In the moment of the public presentation he is meeting others and share with them the moment of creation. In this way performance-art is more a pure form of communication than a form of visual image. The value of the art piece is more the moment of the transfer of an immanent context, that wants to communicate a view or an opinion and not only to show a nice picture, that limits the free space that is created. Performance art breaks structural borders for to have a free field of communication and with this an exchange of values, natures and originalities.(Angelika Fojtuch) PORT PERFORMANCE the Forum for Performance Art in the baltic area. The Port as a place of constant exchange, a daily inport and export of values, a place where water and land come together, is the basic idea of the project. In Performances Art the human body is a port for exchanges of inside and personal values with the outside world. Communication takes place. PORT PERFORMANCE connects Performance Art with education, traveling and meeting to a special form of learning Art in context.
