Looking at performance art works of the past, we are faced with the documents of those works, not with the works themselves. It has been suggested that a greater understanding of the works can come from re-enacting the performance piece, as done by Marina Abramovic in her series 7 Easy Pieces.
The students of Yotsuya Art Studium's English Inter-Active class each chose one work which was of interest to them, and, in order to deal more directly with that work, they will re-enact their chosen performance piece.

過去のパフォーマンスアートに関して、われわれが接することのできるのは、残された記録のみであり、作品それじたいではありません。マリーナ・アブラモヴィッチが《7 Easy Pieces》 のシリーズで示したように、ある作品の理解を深めるためには、その作品を再演することが重要だと考えられます。
四谷アート・ステュディウムのイングリッシュ・インターアクティヴの学生たちが、それぞれ関心のあるパフォーマンスアートの作品をひとつ選び、その作品とよりダイレクトに関わるために、その再演を試みます。
