While We Were Holding It Together

by

Ivana Müller

In While We Were Holding It Together, a tribute to the power of the imagination, Ivana Müller subjects notions of body and mind, and the relationship between the two, to a closer inspection. This results in a poetic, humoristic and philosophical production that draws the audience into Müller’s clear logic. While We Were Holding It Together creates images in becoming, always changing, depending on who is looking. Is it a rock band on tour? A picnic in the forest? A hotel room in Bangkok? We look, imagine and re-invent while searching for what is hidden and for what we want to see.

Created in 2006, the piece has been shown more than 70 times in festivals and venues in Europe, the United States and Asia. In 2007, While We Were Holding It Together won two prizes at Impulse Festival (DE). The jury of this internationally renowned festival awarded the performance with the first prize for the best off-theater production as well as the prize of the Goethe Institute.

The piece was also nominated for the 2007 VSCD mime-prize, which is the annual prize of the collaboration of Dutch theaters and concert halls for the best show of the year in the category of physical theater.

The piece exists in the original English version and, since November 2008, also in a French version.

MoveStream 05 - Screendance | Scandinavia

11 February 2011

Interview with Rannvá Káradóttir

This interview is one of the many that I will be uploading as part of MoveStream's focus on dance videos/films made in the Scandinavian countries.  The series investigates the directorial choices that Scandinavian filmmakers make and asks more specifically about the dark emotional tone that is seemingly present in most of the works coming from Northern Europe.  It will explore this and ask why - is it psycho-geographic? or.... 

Margaret Sharrow says about Magma after visiting Liverpool Biennial. "It may be apparent by now that I have longed to go to the Faroes for many years. This film was far more than imaginative transport, however. It seemed not to posit an impossible relationship between the people  and the landscape; instead the black-clad figures became high-speed embodiments of the geological ultraslow dance of the land itself - the  magma..."

Rannvá Káradóttir  was in Copenhagen last week to show her dance film BOW which won the DFA Dance for Camera Jury Award in NYC in Jan 2011. I asked her about her screendance work Magma, and what makes it so surreal and other. 

Magma is the first film in The Cycle, a series of 8 experimental short films that embrace and discover movement through camera. The films are shot in the extreme and wild landscapes of a remote group of islands far up in the North Atlantic Ocean, The Faroe Islands. Fragmented stories are unraveled in these open and empty spaces, enhanced by the uncontrollable and extreme weather conditions that have an important character in all the films.

Deprived from dialogues and narratives, the repetitive patterns of movements, costumes, music, landscapes and other components create an intriguing atmosphere that takes the viewer to a surrealistic yet hauntingly beautiful universe.

July 26th 2010: First Anniversary of Merce Cunningham Passing

Merce Cunningham interviewed by Foofwa d'Imobilité, July 2000, Vienna, Austria
Merce-Art Forever!" project

Part I: Inter-face to face-view

Merce Cunningham interviewed by Foofwa d'Imobilité - July 29 2000 -
Vienna, Austria - 23 minutes – subtitles in the making, translation in
French by Odile Ferrard, Léa Lescure and Foofwa.

“I knew that Merce had a video camera, so I gave him a cassette and
asked him to record me as I was recording him. It gave an informality to
the interview, which I like. The interview is important to me because
it shows that Merce wanted his work to survive him, as he says it in
numerous interviews until 2008. I happen to have it on tape.”
Foofwa d'Imobilite

« Merce-Art Forever! » is a project by Foofwa d'Imobilite / Neopost
Ahrrrt
about the legacy of Merce Cunningham. It is composed of
interviews, readings, manifestos, dialogs, and different viewpoints, all
related to the present, past, and future of Merce's work. It is a way
to study and promote this legacy, which is certainly one of the most
important for dance in the past century. Foofwa will make these
documents available to the public for free and non-commercial
distribution, sharing (with credits of course) being the ultimate goal.
Check for updates, as the video are in the editing room…

Check www.merce.org for more information on the Living Legacy Plan and activities of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
