Workshop talk
A workshop talk is a public or non-public event in which certain topics are dealt with in a conversation, dialogue or discussion that particularly concern artistic and / or scientific projects (comparable to a poetics lecture ). A workshop talk is mainly used when an artistic and / or scientific project has not yet been completed (compare also the phrase “chat from the workshop”). The focus is on a direct and often informal exchange of experiences, not the presentation of finished solutions. The term workshop should therefore be understood in this context in a figurative sense that emphasizes the (joint) solving of problems or also direct practice on the topic. The established loan word workshop also relates in a similar form to the common, practice-related exchange of experience. Often writers , visual artists, filmmakers or scientists are invited to a workshop discussion and then (for example by a presenter) asked about their current work. Workshop discussions are often recorded and transcribed so that they can then be published in book form (see primary literature).
