"Moments. A History of Performance in 10 Acts" is an international live exhibition on the history of art performance in dance and fine arts. As an exhibition 'in progress', the project shows and develops new formats of museal presentation of live acts. The starting point is the interest in the processes of coming to terms with history in so-called re-enactments of historic performances, but which also comes to expression in the recently erupted controversy surrounding the museal presentability of performances by Joseph Beuys in photographic documentation. This is also reflected in the practice of a younger generation of performers and choreographs, such as in numerous historical appropriations and re-enactments. At the center of this is the 'heroic' period of the 1960s to the 1980s in which a radical (new) definition of the genre took place in the more intimate dialog between performance movements of fine arts and dance. 

"Moments" develops new methodological and interdisciplinary formats of an active and not only museal representation of performance history. During the eight week duration of the exhibition project a scenic act around ten central stages of dance and performance history unfolds—as witnessed by a group of experts invited to accompany and observe for the entire period—before the audience. One of the key focal points is the performances and works by women who have consciously been thematizing, transgressing and critiquing the genre boundaries between dance, performance, and visual media since the 1960s. Here, they likewise reflect on the implicit male constructions of the gaze and the gestural logic of their colleagues.

The exhibition begins and ends in an empty space in which a lively exhibition display is built up in a permanent reciprocal movement between historical presence and medial documentation, museal re-presentation and scenic re-appropriation as well as new interpretation. A multiplicity of dialogically spirited situations emerge between performers, witnesses and public. Here, unlike more popular reenactments, recourse to history serves as a face à l'histoire, an active contrast of the historical and the present.

Among others, the artists represented in the exhibition will be Marina Abramović, Graciela Carnevale, Simone Forti, Anna Halprin, Reinhild Hoffmann, Channa Horwitz, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Sanja Iveković, Adrian Piper and Yvonne Rainer. The artists themselves document their historical performances in exhibition spaces. In collaboration with colleagues from art and theory (Alex Baczynski-Jenkins, Nikolaus Hirsch, Lenio Kaklea, Jan Ritsema, Christine De Smedt, Gerald Siegmund, Burkhard Stangl, Meg Stuart) Boris Charmatz approaches the documented works scenically and develops on-site a live act in a laboratory situation around this central moment of performance history. The artist Ruti Sela will be documenting this artistic approach to the work of their predecessors by way of film documentaries and will produce a film in the actual exhibition context itself. A group of students at renowned European universities will be accompanying the entire process. Directed by the group Charmatz, and in collaboration with the ZKM | Museum Communication, new performative methods and actions of the mediation of historical performance will be presented to visitors.

A publication will appear at the end of the exhibition.

Digital Culture Festival (map + parking)

Throughout the three-day run of Emerge, the Digital Culture Festival celebrates the collaboration of artists, engineers and scientists as distinguished guest artists and faculty and students from ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts and the Fulton Schools of Engineering exhibit a series of interactive happenings. These creations will fill indoor and outdoor spaces spanning the arc of design and arts buildings at the west end of the Tempe campus. The Festival will culminate in a Saturday evening gala that will also include the closing show of the ASU’s Night of the Open Door. All festival exhibits and events are open to the public.

The festival activities include:

• Immerge (Nelson Fine Arts building and plaza, begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 3) The setting will become the canvas for a unique interactive performance that immerses the audience in the futures imagined throughout the conference. Improvising actors (call them "animators") will move through the crowd enticing them to drive interactive sculptures and animations. The audience – based on their interactions with the actors and machines and their patterns of movement – will drive real-time graphics and sound engines. These engines will produce three-dimensional visual displays on the building and create surround-sound displays in the plaza. This cutting-edge show is being developed by a diverse group of ASU faculty and students from the arts, design and engineering units led by faculty members Daragh Byrne, Lance Gharavi, Hilary Harp, Todd Ingalls, Jordan Meyers, Loren Olson, Garth Paine, Jacob Pinholster, David Tinapple and Pavan Turaga. Read more

En esta ocasión os presentamos un nuevo documento que nos ha hecho llegar el proyecto Red en Movimiento 2.0 bajo el título Aprendiendo a colaborar y colaborando para aprender, de Adriana Bezanquen y Hayde Lachino.

REM 2.0 es la continuación de Red en Movimiento, propuesta implementada en 2009-2010 por iniciativa de la Red Sudamericana de Danza, con apoyo de la AECID (CAP), Centros Culturales de España, Ministerios de la región y otras instituciones públicas y privadas.

Su objetivo es instalar un programa de capacitación para la profesionalización del sector de la danza en América Latina. Aborda la temática del trabajo en red y el entrenamiento en el uso de nuevas tecnologías de comunicación e información.

A lo largo de 2 años y en el marco de este proyecto se han realizado talleres en más de 10 ciudades de Latinoamérica (Bogotá, Maracaibo, Buenos Aires, Quito, Santiago de Chile, Asunción, San Pablo, Montevideo, Cochabamba, Barcelona, Salvador de Bahía) y un curso virtual intensivo a través de la red social www.movimiento.org.

Para conocer mejor este proyecto descarga el pdf.

El artista Jaime Conde-Salazar propone formar una comunidad para el trabajo continuado después del encuentro en Cádiz, dónde los integrantes se reconozcan como una entidad comprometida y sobre la que haya una total libertad de actuación. Lanza también una serie de preguntas que cuestionan el modelo en el que el artista desarrolla su labor.

"Anthropology En Pointe"

Another Language Performing Arts Company invites you to Duel•Ality 2.0, an upcoming telematic cinema project created and performed by Company Directors Elizabeth and Jimmy Miklavcic. This original work explores the concepts of relationships and personal duality.

Duel•Ality 2.0 examines the many sides of the two characters Duel (Jimmy Miklavcic), and Ality (Elizabeth Miklavcic). This telematic work focuses on two people and the way this duo encounters and functions in this technological world. It looks at the relationship of man and woman, human and computer, software and hardware, as well as, live performance and projected elements. The performance also explores the connection between elements of creativity and how the audience perceives them.

The script developed by Elizabeth and Jimmy Miklavcic is a dialogue between Duel and Ality as they wrestle with each other, their expressions, and their technological lives. Throughout the play, they use their computers as extensions of themselves. This telematic performance shows the human side of technology, revealing that everything and everyone has at least two sides.

Telematics is defined by Roy Ascott as “computer-mediated communications networking between geographically dispersed individuals and institutions… and between the human mind and artificial systems of intelligence and perception.”

Duel•Ality 2.0 takes place in a Visualization Laboratory, the VisLab Black Box Theater, where the audience will experience 2D and 3D projections throughout the performance. These projections enhance the story by serving as visualizations of Duel and Ality’s thoughts, enhancing the experience of the technological journey.  Audience members will wear active stereoscopic glasses during the performance to view the 3D projections.

Duel•Ality 2.0 performances will be held February 24-25 at 7:00pm and February 26 at 4:00pm & March 2-3 at 7:00pm and March 4 at 4:00pm. The performance space will be at the University of Utah Intermountain Networking and Scientific Computation Center and will be in the Visualization Lab Black Box (VisLab) on the second floor, room 294. Admission is $7.00 general, $5.00 Another Language members and seniors. Students from any school will receive free admission. The VisLab seats 15-20 people, so reservations are highly recommended and can be made through the Another Language Web Store Box Office www.anotherlanguage.org/store, by calling the Another Language Office (801) 531-9419 or by emailing info@anotherlanguage.org. An audience discussion will follow the sixty-minute performance.

Another Language Performing Arts Company holds a reputation for creating unique, cutting edge work and Duel•Ality 2.0 will continue in the tradition of the unexpected. Be a part of this one of a kind event by attending the performances at University of Utah. Information on live streaming viewing options is available in the Telematic Cinema section of the Another Language Website. 

Patricia Caballero, Israel Galván y La Veronal son algunos de los artistas y compañías que presentarán sus espectáculos en el marco del festival Cádiz en Danza. En breve informaremos sobre el resto de nombres que formarán parte de la programación artística. 

Los cuatro últimos días del festival, del 14 al 17 de junio, acogerán el encuentro de pensamiento colectivo MOV-S 2012. Se organizará alrededor de mesas de trabajo, presentaciones de proyectos, cafés y comidas comunitarias y actividad física en grupo para quienes deseen comenzar el día en comunidad.

Tras analizar las entrevistas, los tres temas que os proponemos para discutir juntos son los siguientes:

· Acordar. Sostenibilidad de las prácticas artísticas
· Articular. Colaboración público-privada
· Movilidad y visibilidad

También os animamos a discutirlos desde ya en red (Facebook y Twitter) y/o a enviar textos o vídeos en los que se reflexione sobre ellos.

Cada uno de estos temas se debatirá en una sala diferente, cada una conformada por varias mesas de trabajo.

Cada mesa tendrá un mediador que generará y coordinará las dinámicas de participación y un relator que introducirá el tema a abordar y los objetivos hacia los cuales nos dirigimos, ocupándose de acompañar y apoyar al mediador, además de tomar notas, tuitear y ser el portavoz del grupo.

La discusión de los temas en salas se desarrollará de forma simultánea. Por este motivo, al inscribiros a MOV-S, debéis elegir uno. Compartiréis mesa con otras personas para debatir sobre el tema planteado, hacer un diagnóstico de la situación actual, trazar líneas estratégicas de futuro y, finalmente, lanzar una propuesta común de proyecto para desarrollar de forma colectiva después del encuentro.

Intentaremos generar grupos de trabajo voluntarios para llevar a cabo dichos proyectos. El compromiso de MOV-S es acompañar a estas personas y a estos proyectos y darles visibilidad a través de la página web y de las redes sociales.

La inscripción se abrirá a partir del mes de marzo. El límite de plazas para el encuentro es de 210 personas. La inscripción es GRATUITA e incluye la participación en los encuentros, la asistencia a la presentación de proyectos y entradas para los espectáculos (salvo aquellos con un número reducido de entradas, en los que se priorizará la asistencia de programadores).

En el apartado de la página web de MOV-S Información general encontraréis información sobre cómo llegar a Cádiz, hoteles, restaurantes, transportes y otras cuestiones de interés para vuestro viaje.

Realizaremos una grabación de gran parte de lo que suceda en MOV-S. Unos días después del encuentro estará a disposición de aquellos que no podáis asistir y aún así queráis participar a través de la red o simplemente saber qué y cómo se ha discutido. Además, podréis seguirnos en tiempo real a través de nuestro Twitter.

The next audition for the professional course with Ballet Junior will be held on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May 2012.

This audition is aimed at young dancers between 17 and 23 years old.

An excellent level in ballet and contemporary dance is required as well as an interest in today's choreographic world.

More information on our website.

Nuestra cuarta entrevista en vídeo tiene como protagonista a Berta Sureda. La actual directora de Actividades Públicas del Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía propone plantear la sostenibilidad de la danza a tenor de los campos de debilidad que se han puesto de relieve en el sector. Coincide con los entrevistados hasta el momento en que MOV-S debiera intensificar el trabajo más allá de los dos años que pasan entre la celebración de un encuentro y otro.
