Play as practice for life, with Nana Balint

14 November 2026, 13:00 · INDECIS Artist Run, Bastion 3, Timișoara

A workshop for adults and children in which play takes centre stage and becomes a way of discovering what we can do together.

The workshop approaches play as a space for freedom, encounter and learning. Through playful exercises, we will practise attention, imagination, spontaneity, cooperation and our ability to respond to the unexpected. We will play, experiment and discover how, often without us even noticing, play can prepare us for life.

Nana Balint, founding member of C4Company, is an artist active in Timișoara’s independent cultural scene and beyond. In her work as an actress and performer, she engages with contemporary issues while exploring human nature within the chaos we create around ourselves. Building on the research developed for her dissertation, she has explored different forms of stage expression through interdisciplinary performances combining aerial acrobatics, physical theatre, digital art and dance, often in collaboration with visual artists.

Play as practice for life is part of the mediation programme accompanying the exhibition TIRED MASS. Throughout the exhibition, we are organising a series of encounters and activities centred on three forms of labour that most of us perform, even when we do not always recognise them as such: physical, intellectual and emotional labour.
