Abstract
Conducting a workshop has been introduced and operated in many fields in the past decade. There are various types and goals in workshops. Normally, the workshop could bring one new discovery or findings that one has never thought out before. For the study, we operated the performing art workshop for generating participants’ self-expression. This workshop was held in rural part of Japan in Tendo. Targeted participants were elders. During the activity, the camera functioned as not only the recorder of the scene, but also it played as a role, since many participants were expressive and gazing toward the camera. This presentation shows how the camera took part in the workshop in terms of workshop design.
