Os presentamos el primer documento de trabajo de MOV-S. En él, os contamos cómo se va a trabajar en esta cuarta edición de MOV-S.

Proponemos un modelo colaborativo, de manera que el programa del encuentro refleje las líneas de pensamiento que tiene el sector de la danza en Iberoamérica. Una de las claves son las cincuenta entrevistas que hemos realizado a profesionales del mundo de la danza y también de otros ámbitos artísticos para preguntarles sobre los temas que les preocupan a la hora de hablar del futuro de las artes del movimiento.

(Dance) Notation Series- Research Encounters
Reading/writing dance

Feb 4th
This event will be streamed LIVE in dance-tech.tv

watch the stream and chat with us here!

Three different speakers will present their projects and perspectives in relation to the reading and writing of dance. Kerstin Evert dance teacher and researcher will present the research project IDOCDE an online databse for dance education, choreographer Emilie Gallier will talk about her new work Synchronicity a reading dance performance and Carla Fernandes cognitive linguistic researcher will introduce the development and status of the Transmedia Knowledge Base for contemporary Dance project.

Kerstin Evert; coordinator of the IDODEC project, a network of twelve European dance educators around the development of an online database that will develop and document best practices of contemporary dance education, to improve networking among contemporary dance educators and to increase visibility of this vibrant art form. IN order to do so an online platform is being designed where tagging, defining groups and developing writen documents on dance education are main goals. Evert will introduce the project and expose some of the challanges in relation to writing dance.

Carla Fernandes is assistant Professor at IPLeiria and Senior Researcher at the New University of Lisbon. Her current research focus is in the intersection of cognitive linguistics and the performing arts, particularly concerning the creation of multimodal corpora, digital archives and new documentation models. She coordinates the state-funded international research project TKB: “A Transmedia Knowledge Base for contemporary dance”, a research project in the interstices between cognitive linguistics and contemporary dance studies. TKB is an extensive and transdisciplinay project aiming at the design and construction of an open-ended multimodal knowledge base to document, annotate and support the creation of contemporary dance piece. Fernandes will present the project focusing on the process of annotations and descriptions of movements.

Emilie Gallier; is choreographer, researcher, director of the PØST Cie. Gallier will present her project Synchronicity a performance, book publication of a poem, and the choreography on paper (score), together with an essay written by Daniel Rovers (writer). This publication is a platform for the choreographer to probe the writing of movements of thoughts, and to turn to the spectator as reader, observer, and performer.

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.

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.

This Friday, we'll be streaming Misnomer Dance's new work, Time Lapse, live from the Joyce Soho. We hope you'll join us for a great night, a lively chat, and fantastic art.

We're also accepting submissions for video works to show during intermission and before the show. If you have work you'd like to screen, get in touch. Leave a comment or shoot me an email! We're featured on the livestream.com homepage so it'll surely be a great event. 

It starts at 7:30 PM EST / 12:30 am GMT.

En los anteriores posts os hemos explicado cómo se van a establecer los contenidos de MOV-S 2012. También hemos compartido con vosotros un listado de las personas a las que hemos entrevistado y los temas que han planteado para debatir durante el encuentro que se celebrará en Cádiz entre los días 14 y 17 de junio.

Una de las preguntas que se realizaron fue la siguiente:

¿Qué proyectos relacionados con la danza y el arte en general, que esten llevando a cabo prácticas o provocando reflexiones sobre otros modos de operar en danza dentro del contexto actual, deberían presentarse dentro del marco de MOV-S?

El proyecto brasileño 1000 Casas, el Centro de Artes de Maré de Río de Janeiro, la compañía de Lia Rodrigues, la Red de festivales de Danza Contemporánea de México, El Graner de Barcelona, el Laboratorio del procomún, la Escuela Nacional de Danza de Perú y los proyectos en red Dance.tech, Dance Europe Movement o la Fundación de los Comunes son algunas de las iniciativas sugeridas.

Aquí podéis descargar en pdf el listado completo.

As the first day ended it beginns: very relaxed and informal. People are easy and always open to talk with. Everybody is interested in the work of the others. It does not matter if you're an artist, nerd, programmer, visitor or studend. Everybody chats with everyone. This way is the key to get connections, be inspired, think in new ways and get to know what's behind. The artists are reachable instead of being just on stage to talk, show their work and go. This kind of special atmosphere is what this festival makes it remarkably.

Day two - the festival starts with a keynote by Christian Jaquemin from Paris.

It's all about projection, argumented reality/image processing.
Christian talks about the virtual world and the real world and its perception and the use in an artistic way. How does a subject in the real world perceives the virtual world? There're issues on the point of view from where one looks at the projection, because it might look different from various angles. Especially in 3D projection. One way to deal with it, is to project on 3D objects, like an organ or the inside of a church. The calibration is the main key to make it work or not. But if one works with a mobile object, like a boat, the calibration might become a problem of being precise. Christians main interest lies in working with the "physical" shadow. People often try to not have any physical shadow, cut it out and so on. But he wants to use it on purpose in order to project into this shadow.

He will give his workshop on Friday

After a small coffee break we all start with the workshops.

Swarm Cubes (Part 1)
DKIA: Nora Dibowski and Simon Laburda
With a new gimmick, a LED cube, DKIA give another "sewing" workshop. Many little wires get soldered together and in between are LEDs and on the bottom some electronic. Goal is to have two of these to let them communicate with each other through a mobile phone for instance. They would make some sounds and light up their LEDs. Nerd toys. But beautiful.

The Hitch Hikers Guide To Circuit Bending and Junkbot
Philip Fischer, Michal Wlodkowski, Erkin Bayirli 
Also here again like last yea. Many kids toys will be brought out of their normal context. Soldering here and there, putting some electronical stuff inside or use what's there and change it, you'll have a very colorful toy which makes sounds it usually doesn't do.

Ableton Live
Jacob Korn
A beginner how to make true Techno music workshop. I'm always sad I can't make it. Just to have my own techno computer (because I taught my own workshop).

A Gaga-based Dance Class
Johanna Roggan
Giving a movement class for choreographers and total beginners is always (good) fun. For me at least. But what they all have in common is the need to sink into what I'm talking about and really take the time to establish the pictures I'm giving in by my voice. The constant checking what is the given image and how does it feel inside me is an ongoing process. Especially when bringing it into movement. It needs an informal, safe atmosphere in order to open a little and let things happen without control. Basically it's about finding a movement which fits to the image somebody (me in that case) gives in. This way of interpretation is very personal and physical on a even anatomic level. So there is no right or wrong. There is just I feel it or not.

tasty lunch break and we gon on with:

Swarm Cubes (Part 2)
DKIA: Nora Dibowski and Simon Laburda  

 
The Hitch Hikers Guide To Circuit Bending and Junkbot
Philip Fischer, Michal Wlodkowski, Erkin Bayirli   

glMixer – A New Tool for Live Video Mixing
Bruno Herbelin   

VVVV – An introduction into the Multipurpose Toolkit
Marko Ritter, Valérie Francois Vogt

Here we (*) are again. The young Art.On.Wires festival opens its doors for the second time.

Like last year, we arrived in a very warm and wellcoming atmosphere here in Oslo. Not just because the sun is shining...

Today the day starts with an introduction talk by Alexander Eichhorn, the founder of this festival.

The day is reserved for talks and lectures. People introduce themself and their work in general or more specific, talk a little about the workshops they will give and answer some questions.

Marko Ritter (D), co-founder of the company intolight, starts the lecture about his work and research. Intolight got a grand from the E.C.A.S. network to develope their project CHET (collective hedonistic toolkid). One part of this software mainly based on vvvv is switchboy. It's a toolkid for Vjing. You basically can do everything with it. The software will be open-source and Marko hopes for many people who will contribute new patches for switchboy in order to develope this multi-functional toolkid. You can do mind mapping, project 3D graphics, Videos and all the things a good Vj programm should be able to provide.
Marko will give a workshop together with Valérie-Françoise Vogt for vvvv - An introduction into the Multipurpose Toolkit on Thursday and Sunday.

After the lunch break the talks continue with 5uper.net/DAAL and DKIA.

Based in Vienna Philip Fischer, Erkin Bayirli, Michal Wlodkowski, the guys from 5uper.net/DAAL, talk as well about their artist collective and their artistic-research work. Michal gives us a short overview about their projects, one is the international festival coded cultures. Erkin introduces us to the roboter plant superViVo and some other agiland mobile cybernetic plants. It's all about playfulness and an easy access to solar topics, agil cybernetic plants and gadges.
They will give their workshop on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

DKIA are based in Vienna as well, working and researching in the fields of media art, electronics, prototyping and sustainable innovations. In the last two years they focused on LED technology and realized several LED driven projects.
To just drop in some words what they're doing: web development, participating activism art, interactive talking cubes.
They gonna give a full day workshop Thursday and half day on Friday.

Jacob Korn talks about his main projects over the last years, beside being a musician and producer for Techno and House music. Automatic clubbing is one of it. Now called I.D.A (interactive dancefloor application) which is a collaborative instrument. In the beginning it would run with kalypso and max.msp stand alone. He collaborates with different people to realize several performances, such as Frieder Weiß, Matthias Härtig, intolight. Next project is Harmony Universe. An instrument mainly for children. They learn playing with music and rhythm through an interactive software and visuals on the floor (for instance). It is a collaborative instrument, so if the kids play well, it sounds well...max4life and vvvv is used for the software stuff. Another baby of Jacob is Uncanny Heroes - a workshop based development for a tool to let people interact with the sound and visuals they're confronted with in a normal party situation.

He will give a workshop for Abelton live on Thursday

Harmony Universe // vimeo.com/9935622
Uncanny Heroes // intolight.de/projekte/uncanny-heroes

Lars Graugaard is basically talking about his great wish to have a software which does everything for him. Well, who doesn't. His longstanding research in music, working as a composer and programmer brought him to a constantly improving "organism" to make music and performances happen. One software, huge possibilities where and how to use it. Together with his students he enlarges the necessary patches for max.msp. Lars' aim is to have a flexible system to work with many different instruments and their very specific characteristics.

His workshop will be on Sunday.

Lars Graugaard // l--l.dk

After a small coffee break we continue with Jason Geistweidt (US/NO) and Brock Craft (UK).

Jason Geistweidt introduces us to his projects and philosophy of his work. It's all about collaboration  and trust and communication. Working on a huge project called "world opera" Jason is connected to 6 different countries in order to create and research how to make a world opera happen. In realtime of  course. Using video, OSC, vvvv and all you need, there is still the problem of time delay. Even if it is just about milli seconds still a lot of artists (musicians, dancers...) have problems to interact over camera to a different place in the world. Where am I? What is your time, what is mine?

Friday night there will be a linked performance with Oslo and California.

Last but not least Brock Craft talks about his work. Brock is an Interaction Designer, artist, and specialist in Physical Computing and Information Visualization. One of his many projects is "NetChimes". Basically you need a chime and a station to live stream it. Over a server you can listen to any chimes  listed on the server. We checked it out during his lecture and it worked perfectly.

His workshop for Arduino will be on Saturday.

Goody Hallet Dance from zena bibler on Vimeo.

Maria Hallett was a pirate's girlfriend. Her parents wouldn't let her marry Black Sam Bellamy because he had no money. He became a famous pirate, collected a ship full of gold, and sailed back to her hometown in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. On April 17th, The Whydah struck one of Wellfleet's famous sandbars and sunk, killing most of the crew. Legend has it that Hallett used to visit the shore every night watching for Black Sam’s return. Some say she actually witnessed the famous Whydah shipwreck, and cried out as her true love drowned; others say she spent her later days as a witch, condemning ships that passed through her harbor.

Filmed and danced near Uncle Tim's Bridge in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
