As part of their stay in residence at 3-Legged Dog art and technology center in NY, Kònic thtr
organizes this training program in R + d + i.
This course will examine the relationship between voice, body movement and audiovisual
languages. It is a transdisciplinary workshop linking installation and performance, searching
the relationship between action, video, sound and real-time digital processes on the stage.
This workshop proposes a process of training in a practical and theoretical activity that
combines the performative action with interactive audiovisual technologies. Contents will
be related with models based on projects and devices made by Kònic Thtr, to understand,
from its analysis, the significance of technologyc languages applied to contemporary creation.
Participants will work in groups and theoretical sessions will alternate with practice sessions
and demonstration, using available tools, and there will also be screenings of the creative
projects discussed by Kònic Thtr.

Workshop at Harvestworks. September 2010
Alain Baumann has been using Max/MSP as his main tool to develop the creative works of
Kònic thtr, and working with dancers to interact both with sound and image in real time
on stage. As an important part of their activity, Kònic thtr is actively contributing to the
dissemination of their knowledge, both by teaching in different colleges in Catalonia and
Spain and by giving workshops in many countries of Europe and Central and South America,
workshops in which the emphasis is the development of creative languages based on
interactive technologies.
FTM is a set of Max externals developed at the IRCAM that eases the handling of complex
data structures in the max/MSP environment. This course, taught by KonicLab's Alain
Baumann (Barcelona), will specially focus on the MnM package included in the library, and
have hands-on experiments with included abstraction MnMfollower, which allow us to do
real time gesture following when used in combination with sensors, camera analysis, or a
wiimote.

Artist-in-residence program at 3-Legged Dog Art & Technology Center
a {d’Aigua} show_5 presentations. September - October 2010
In 2009, the center of performing arts and digital technologies 3 legged Dog invited Kònic
thtr to develop a residency at its center in New York. Kònic Thtr will take the opportunity to
develop a new phase of the show a {d'Aigua}, an existing project with a modular structure,
and elaborate a new format for the piece at 3LD,, an interactive dance installation involving
audience participation opens up to visual arts audiences and new circuits. This time the show
will stage dancer and performer Masu Fajardo.
Kònic Thtr/Koniclab hope to strengthen their research in non-linear and interactive
performing and choreographic narratives.
a {d'Aigua} is a project originally developed in the context of several labs made by Kònic Thtr.
As part of this process, we highlight the encounters with the Catalan choreographer Maria
Muñoz, from Mal_Pelo dance company, with the aim of developing a cross-experience work
that includes dance, performance, music, computer graphics and interactivity.
In the performative project a {d'Aigua}, a dancer, a performer and musician interact on
stage with sound and image using the iXKa, a small wireless sensor device integrated on the
body and designed to capture the movement and the dancers on stage in real time. These
devices are used in conjunction with a piece of software called MNM and developed by
Frédéric Bevilacqua from the Real-Time Music Interaction Team at IRCAM, Paris (France). The
combination of sensors and software allows us to record the gestures of the dancer and then
recognize it in real time. Whole phrases of movement are recognized and reproduced, and the
dancer can play sounds that are being recorded simultaneously with its movement.
This stage piece was first presented in openlab format, at Officine Sintetiche (Torino, Italy),
and was premiered in Barcelona at the Mercat de les Flors during the IDN Festival 2009, with
the participation of the dancer and choreographer María Muñoz.
Later, the piece continues to evolve through encounters with different dancers and
choreographers. It was presented at the Electron Festival (Switzerland), with dancer and
performer Masu Fajardo, and also at 'Certesa Simulada. New frontiers of science, art and
thought’, program organized by Ars Santa Mònica from Barcelona in September 2009.
In 2010, this show has been performed in the Theater of Madrid, for the event Cartographies
of Dance, in Theatre Moulay Rachid at the Festival International d'Art Vidéo of Casablanca
(Morocco) and at Thsekh_Proekt Fabrika in Moscow (Russia). There’s also a tour plan in the fall
2010 with presentations of the show int he III Seminário Transcultural sobre Teatro e Dança in
Salvador de Bahía (Brasil) and in the International Videodance Festival Cuerpo Digital in La Paz
(Bolivia).

Seminario teórico práctico cuatrimestral:
“DELEUZE O EL CUERPO EUFÓRICO”
Filosofía-danza y sus mutuos contaminantes
“ Un pensamiento que fuese hasta el final de lo que puede la vida, un pensamiento que llevase la vida hasta el final de lo que puede. En lugar de un conocimiento que se opone a
la vida, establecer un pensamiento que afirmaría
la vida. La vida sería la fuerza activa del pensamiento, pero el
pensamiento el poder afirmativo de la vida (….) Pensar significaría: descubrir, inventar nuevas posibilidades de
vida.”
GILLES DELEUZE – Nietzsche y la filosofía (1962)
Esta propuesta nace como parte del proyecto de investigación “El cuerpo del Performer”, que lleva adelante la compañía independiente de video danza teatro Vacía de Espacio y que cuenta con el financiamiento del FNA.
Se plantea un recorrido teórico y físico en la obra de Gilles Deleuze buscando articular conceptos como cuerpo, arte, performance, acontecimiento, que emergen con claridad de la
lectura rigurosa y en clave rizomática de su obra. Se abordarán textos teóricos así como
lecturas que Deleuze hiciera de otros filósofos (Spinoza, Nietzsche, Bergson)
buscando la construcción de interrelaciones tanto teóricas como prácticas que
nos permitan pensar desde las fisuras que abre el pensamiento deleuziano en la
filosofía occidental.
Asímismo, aspiramos a poner en discusión y cuestionamiento conceptos que hacen a nuestra experiencia artística, política y ética en el mundo contemporáneo. Por esto mismo, se
abrirá el espacio a la investigación, improvisación y composición física
concreta construyendo planos posibles de esta obra filosófica, no solo desde
una perspectiva reflexiva sino también afectiva. El cuerpo como un concepto de
intensidades variables y el concepto como un cuerpo afectivo en devenir

There is no doubt that The rocking pop star Kesha is one of the hottest stars on the planet, made sure the party was not stop the second she walked into Vegas hottest adult pool Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay. Sponsored by Grey Goose, the first stop for the singer/songwriter was the red carpet where the rocking Kesha, wearing a black bathing suit, jean shorts, a red feather hair accessory, Ray Ban sunglasses, Chanel heels, and a colorful paint-on tattoo on both arms, posed for photos and conducted interviews. Dozens of fans lined the carpet as they waited to catch a glance and get a photo of the “Your Love Is My Drug” singer.
The great artist Kesha is no unfamiliar person to pushing the boundaries of what's suitable .But even she definitely wouldn't ride a motorbike in these high heels. The pop star posed astride a bike in six inch platforms and super-short hot pants for her new video Take It Off. With her push-up bra and lack of leather jacket, she looked less than ready for a bike ride. The 23-year-old later went crawling during the dust for the music video. Currently the legendary icon Kesha is popular for her crazy outfits and has been nicknamed Baby Gaga. Her 'Tik Tok' and Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' have confirmed to be super famous songs. Funny thing is they are nearly the same song. Listen to a mashup of the two songs and see the weird similarities. These songs are fun, poor quality music that most teens and young adults can crank up and dance to. No need to in fact understand the lyrics. It's a formula, right.
Not much is off-limits to the rocking Kesha, one of the hottest breakthroughs pop stars of the past year whose debut album, Animal, debuted at number one and has sold nearly one million copies in the U.S. alone. The 23-year-old legendary icon has sung about all from throwing up in Paris Hilton's closet, to getting hit on by old men, to getting her heartbroken and being rejected by a guy. Fans are always excited to see their best rocking star Kesha on stage so buy cheap Kesha tickets online to enjoy her shows live.

Part I: residency, 13 July – 30 August 2010
Part II: new work, June 2011
Tate Modern
Bankside
London SE1 9TG
www.tate.org.uk
For Part I of his choreographic project at Tate Modern, Michael Clark and his company have been resident
in the Turbine Hall for seven weeks, making the development and rehearsal of his work publicly visible for the first
time.
The Company's presence has transformed the monumental space into an arena for experimentation and practice,
foregrounding the processes – both artistic and practical – behind making and performing Clark's work.
As well as devising movement for his company's trained dancers, Clark has responded to the uniquely performative nature
of the Turbine Hall's public space by inviting 75 non-dancers to join weekly workshops with the company. The group of
untrained dancers have learned a piece of dance, specially developed by Clark, which will be performed en-masse in the
space over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Clark has presented work within gallery spaces on many occasions, but this residency enables him to respond directly to
the iconic architecture and specific character of Tate: as a communal space and as a museum. This series of experiments
is, in part, preparation for a new, large-scale performance commission due to be premiered as Part II of the
project in June 2011.
Working with collaborators, Clark will use choreography, film, light and sound to create a site-specific dance
event.
Michael Clark Company at Tate Modern continues Tate Live's commitment to presenting pioneering interdisciplinary
work that is rooted in dialogue with contemporary art. Working with collaborators, Clark will use choreography, film,
light and sound to create a site-specific dance event.
Artist Charles Atlas, one of the premier interpreters of dance, theatre and performance on video, and lighting director
for all of Clark's work, will curate a film programme of his and Clark's collaborative films, presented alongside the
dance event over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Also featured is the first UK screening of Torse, Atlas's 1977
two-screen collaboration with Merce Cunningham.
Clark recently presented the work come, been, gone at the Venice Biennial (2009), The Edinburgh Festival (2009) and The
Barbican (2009 and 2010) to great critical acclaim.
Michael Clark Company is an Associate Artist of the Barbican and supported by Arts Council England.
Tate Modern Live is curated by Catherine Wood and Kathy Noble.
Free public showings in the Turbine Hall
Friday 27 and Saturday 28 August 21.30

Dear Friends,
We would like to shortly inform you about the situation in Hungary. The independent theatre and dance companies and venues still didn't receive their yearly state support from the Cultural Ministry (for 2010). The reason is that the government ordered to lock a certain percentage of this support alluding to the general bad financial situation of the country. This means that the organizations working in the field will only receive 66% of the awarded amount. Many organizations have already debts and many are obliged to fire their workers and to give up their projects.
I enclosed a statement of support that we plan to forward to the cultural officials. If you feel like that please sign it and send it back. (You can send it back signed in e-mail or by fax: +3613581005).Also please forward it to those organizations whom you know were working with Hungarian artists in the past.
As a member of L1 danceLab and L1 Associacion we are also in a difficult situation as our support for 2010 will be about half of the last year's one. However we do our best to survive and to continue our collaboration. There will be a change in the theatre law in this fall. We have to see how will that change the circumstances.
Waiting for your help and reply and wishing you a nice summer time!Marta Ladjanszki
As both a practice and an area of theoretical discourse, Screendance is burgeoning worldwide as evidenced by the proliferation of Screendance festivals, symposia, conferences and publications. Also known as dance for camera, cine dance, and video dance, this hybrid form, which in the past has been found at the margins of practice in the fields of dance and film, is now taking a central place as an independent art form. Through the advocacy of practitioners and scholars worldwide, the field of Screendance is articulating its richly intertwined art-historical roots as a means to understand present dance, film, digital media and art practices and how they intersect in a complex discourse of ideas about the body on screen. The certificate has been designed to meet the growing demand of dancers, choreographers, filmmakers and artists who are seeking a more in-depth experience in exploring the relationship between the moving body and the frame.
The Graduate Certificate in Screendance at the University of Utah is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Department of Modern Dance and the Department of Film & Media Arts. This program provides professional level production courses with state-of-the-art equipment, movement and theory classes and the option for Certification in Final Cut Pro. The Screendance Certificate requires a two-semester on-site commitment.

Marlon Barrios Solano is the creator and producer of dance-tech.net, dance-techTV, DANCE TECH@, a series of online interviews and several projects of participatory journalism in the arts. He shares his experience with these platforms and sustainable models of production,
exchange and distribution of knowledge within communities of artists of movement, digital media and organizations. His interventions are always bodily grounded and systemically approached based on his hybrid background of dance, new media/real-time technologies and cognitive science.
He researches the many changes and necessary strategies implied by the new horizontal Internet architectures that facilitate participation, collaboration and its potential for the development of audiences and collaborative creativity.
He understands on-line participatory platforms as spaces for action, for the materialization of open social dynamics that augment dialogue and increase the possibilities of social innovation.
He approaches digital social networks as an alternative repository of cognitive/social capital and the locus of relational interventions questioning limits between bodies, countries, disciplines and organizations.
Marlon has researched, lectured and lead workshops in many international professional events and for educational institutions in the following topics:
Performance of movement and new media
Digital social networks
Networked Media Production and sustainability

Rebecca Parris was born on December 28, 1951 in Newton, Massachusetts into a family of educators and musicians. Her early career is marked by studies with world-class vocal coach, Blair MacClosky, and attendance at Boston Conservatory. At first she toured with top 40’s bands, then became immersed in the American jazz genre of singing, developing herdistinctive version of improvisation, scat, exemplary phrasing, and masterful story telling.
Parris has performed worldwide with great jazz legends, including Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Wynton arsalis, Gary Burton, Count
Basie, Woody Herman, Terry Gibbs, David “Fathead” Newman, Norman Simmons. Harold Jones, Andy Simpkins, Gerry Wiggins, Bill Cunliffe, Red Mitchell, Buster Cooper, Nat Pierce, and many others. Rebecca has performed at the legendary Monterey Jazz Festival in '90 & '95, North Sea Jazz Festival, >Oslo Jazz Festival and the International
Floating Jazz Festival, continuing to exemplify American jazz singing across the globe.
Rebecca's latest release is You Don't Know Me on the Saying It With Jazz label. Rebecca performs some
well-chosen standards with her long-time trio: Brad Hatfield, piano; Peter
Kontrimas, bass; and Matt Gordy, drums. Rebecca's previous releases include her
all-ballads CD, My Foolish Heart, The Secret of Christmas"Arial Narrow"; A Beautiful Friendship, with the Kenny Hadley Big Band, Double Rainbow with Eddie Higgins and Michael Monaghan, A Passionate Fling, Love Comes and Goes, and Live at Chan's. (go to: http://www.rebeccaparris.com)
Additional to performing, Rebecca is a noteworthy vocal teacher, widely in demand, from students near and far, that don’t mind traveling to benefit from her instruction. She is also a community activist who has led benefit concerts for numerous charities and causes, is an ardent supporter of “Save School Music,” and a recent advocate of the “Massachusetts Dance Festival.”
Rebecca Parris will be opening for two weekends of dance festivals during the first statewide MDF events, beginning on Saturday August 21st @ 8:00 pm, at the Boston Ballet top floor performance venue, and the following Saturday, August 28th, and the Fine Arts Center in Amherst. Sheyes""> will perform a few of her favorite jazz songs, then turn the
stage over to 11 professional dance companies for the evening.
Having just attended another spectacular performance by Rebecca last night, I can vouch that our regional icon and “First Lady of Jazz” from Massachusetts, is fully engaging in her playful, serious, sensuous way, that pulls you into an astounding musical experience.
Ticket prices for August 21st and 28th are $25.00 at the door, $20.00 in advance. Go to: http://www.massdancefestival.org/tickets.html

Massachusetts Dance Festival believes that dance, as a major component of arts and culture, is essential to meaningful lives and healthy communities. Dance and arts education contribute to quality
life in the 21st Century by providing rich education for youth and
promoting cultural understanding and tolerance, within diverse
communities.
MDF seeks to revitalize dance and arts-related professions by developing partnerships with businesses, corporations, institutions and
communities. Our goal is to successfully establish dance
artistically, financially and operationally, throughout the state, and
thereby contribute to the economic vitality of our communities.
Through annual, statewide education workshops and performance platforms, MDF will employ dance performers, students, teachers, technicians,
production workers, marketing professionals, and cultural facilities
employees. Each event will attract residents, college students and
tourists, contributing to access, education and diversity of the arts,
while stimulating employment.
MDF can help to establish Massachusetts as an important destination for arts, culture and tourism.
