Pupparatjik from the inside:
The workshop was announced at an all-meeting, and even though I did not know anything about apparatjik og Ute Meta Bauer from before, I have been listening to A-Ha since 1985/86 (I was then about 6 or 7), and thought that the concept of the workshop was interesting, and I was gonna be able to meet one of my childhood heroes.
The day before the workshop Ute had a lecture, where I was not able to pick up a single point she was trying to get through. My head was full, the room was full, and she talked fast. Magne was also there, and I got to say hi, since we talked a bit about the technical aspects of the workshop the next day. (I'm a student assistance at the academy)
Anyway (I'll no try to make this too long and boring), the next day we started out by Magne talking a bit about apparatjik, and showing some videos and stuff that was on the site. There was a mess of information, about what we were supposed to do, and that we were supposed to do whatever. It wasn't really easy to understand what was actually the case. But some groups were set up, and people joined the one with what they wanted to work on.
So we were let loose, and everyone started being super creative, and just doing whatever fell into their head, with Magne and Ute, and Regina (teacher at the academy) running around trying to give some directions in what they wanted, etc.
And the results you can see a lot of on the pupparatjik-page.
It was not quite what i expected from a workshop, for better and worse. But it was no matter, a nice two days before I now really have to work seriously with deadline after deadline (applications to be written, exhibitions to have, etc).
I'm not good with words, so this is probably not the best, but I will answer questions as best as I can.
