El programa del próximo seminario en la Isla de San Simón, que tendrá lugar entre el 11 y el 13 de marzo, es resultado de un trabajo colectivo en el que también resuenan las conversaciones iniciadas en el proceso de elaboración del segundo seminario, que tendrá lugar en Bilbao a finales de mayo.
Un grupo de trabajo visitó el espacio de San Simón el día 21 de febrero para situar su propuesta de programa expandido sobre el mapa, sobre el territorio de la isla y sus espacios singulares.
La Isla de San Simón es, en realidad, un territorio formado por dos islas unidas por un puente. A lo largo de la historia acogió un hospital de infecciosos, un hogar para niños huérfanos y una cárcel para presos políticos durante el Franquismo. Este espacio de tensión y dolor en el pasado es, hoy, un espacio para la construcción de futuros posibles, imaginados por los artistas abriendo otras maneras de articulación que se empiezan a analizar desde la propia práctica, atravesándolas para saber qué dejan en nuestros cuerpos, qué resuena después del encuentro y hacia dónde nos desplaza para tejer otras redes. Para pensar en otros modos de articularnos e imaginar otras complicidades posibles.

Después de tres ediciones en las que MOV-S se plantea como un congreso internacional itinerante acompañado de un programa artístico propio, en 2012 se propone un nuevo proyecto respondiendo a la necesidad de operar, desde otros lugares, en los nuevos contextos para la danza en los territorios iberoamericanos.
La cuarta edición fue un proceso de pensamiento colectivo para discutir, de forma horizontal, los modos de operar en danza en los contextos iberoamericanos actuales. Además, por primera vez, se vincula a un festival local, Cádiz en Danza, cuyo director, Pepe Vélez, comisaria el programa artístico del encuentro.
En esta quinta edición proponemos un proyecto nómada de acción colectiva que se desarrollará en un período de dos años a través de varios territorios iberoamericanos. A través de una serie de seminarios vinculados a festivales locales iremos abordando desde diferentes perspectivas el tema de la “Articulación”.
Encontraréis toda la información en www.mov-s.org.
La primera etapa del recorrido que se desarrolla bajo el proyecto MOV-S ha tenido lugar en Galicia. Ha atravesado un proceso de curadoría colectiva en el que participaron 20 agentes del territorio incluyendo a artistas, escritores, editoras, antropólogas, actores, tecnólogas…
El colectivo Misa de Domingas, que se reúne cada domingo a las 12h en Casa Tomada, en A Coruña, invitó a una serie de personas a discutir sobre el tema que proponemos como punto de partida: “Articulación: redes, colectivos y comunidades”.
A partir de la pregunta “¿Qué es hoy para ti una red?”, se activó un proceso caótico, sin normas ni metodología, para pensar en la articulación en las prácticas artísticas. Todo derivó hacia lugares no previstos: dejamos de pensar en crear una red y comenzamos a pensar y actuar en red, dejando espacio para el desplazamiento que supone entrar en escena y jugar con otros métodos, sin límites formales en los lenguajes y sin fronteras territoriales.
Programaciones expandidas, tecnologías de encuentro, relevancia, visibilidad e invisibilidad y la articulación entre instituciones, entre artes vivas y los museos, entre el cuerpo y la vida real, son los conceptos que el colectivo de pensamiento ha puesto sobre la mesa para atravesar de un modo íntimo, práctico y propositivo en el marco del seminario que tendrá lugar en marzo en la Isla de San Simón.
“Augmented Dance by Light“ is a research I started in order to figure out energy efficient alternatives to light design. I consider the light rather than the lighting power (energy) as a rare resource to use with scarcity on stage.
Working with the interactive textile designer, Pauline Vierne, we integrated small LEDs on dancers costumes to get dancers involved into the overall light design system.
Lighting the body space
During the first tests, I got very interested by the lighting effects created by the combination of light and movement: we were lighting the body space. And who else than dancers can deal with space and body?
We did many tests and learnt a lot from them, at the technical level as well as with the dance.
What I found very interesting while working at Lake Studio was the importance to get very basic when you deal with technical experimentation. This is the cost to leave space for amazing aesthetics outcomes. We are almost there and I hope to show you more in my next post….
Today, I can tell “boring” can be “enlightening”!

“The Topanga Film Festival is a true original. A chance to see great films under the stars in one of the most magical spots on the continent. A jewel of a festival.”
~ Wendie Malick,, actor
Deep in heart of Southern California’s counter-culture enclave Topanga Canyon, a small evolution is brewing. Organizers of the 9th Annual Topanga Film Festival, to be held July 17th-20st, 2014 will include documentary films, panels, and networking opportunities. With hands-on demonstrations of cutting edge technology, those in attendance enjoy a user friendly, culturally creative experience.
The Bachelor in Contemporary Dance offered by Manufacture – University of Performing Arts of Western Switzerland – in collaboration with Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) is the first university-level programme in contemporary dance in Switzerland. Practice-oriented, this programme features partnerships with leading international institutions. Students therefore have the opportunity to become familiar with numerous choreographic languages; meet renowned professionals in dance education and practice, and become part of a national and international network.
The programme combines a core curriculum common to the Lausanne and Zurich schools with two different options, each developed specifically at one of the sites.
The Creation option, offered in Lausanne in partnership with P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels), is an integral part of the pedagogical vision followed by Manufacture’s Theatre department since 2003. The programme emphasises the concepts of creativity, independence, and a reflexive approach.
At Manufacture, the presence of a Dance and a Theatre department at a single location enables the development of synergies between the departments and fosters an interdisciplinary approach.
Audition: An audition for the Creation option is organised every year, after which Manufacture composes a class of twelve dancers.
Calendar
1st round of auditions in Lausanne (Manufacture): between March 31st to April 4th 2014
> deadline: March 14th 2014
1st round of auditions in Brussels (P.A.R.T.S): between May 10th to 12th 2014

Hi all,
I'm happy to invite you to a new dance series I'm curating at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
please let me know if you're around and can make it!
best,
Lior

KONTRAPUNKT is a series of six events which interrelates contemporary art and dance. Each event establishes a dialogue between one of the Museum’s exhibitions on display and a contemporary dance piece, and includes a visit to the exhibition, a viewing of the dance performance and an open discussion with curators and choreographers.
With KONTRAPUNKT, we aim to bring together the Museum’s visitors and the dance audience in a mutual discourse on issues of expression, interpretation and conventions - through the prism of the two disciplines.
our first chapter:
Kontrapunkt #1: Conflict as Raw Material
Arkadi Zaides/Gustav Metzger
13 February 2014 at 19:30
Over the past six decades, Gustav Metzger has reacted critically in his art to what he views as humanity's ongoing injustices, and developed various tactics aiming to rouse us from our indifference and expose us to what we have ceased to observe.
Arkadi Zaides, recipient of the Emile Zola Human Rights award, is the Israeli choreographer most identified with taking a political stance. In his work he seeks to remind his viewers of mundane occurrences which he believes they prefer not to see.
This platform provides an encounter between two artists who are stirred to action by reality, surrounded by conflicts which provide them with raw materials for a profound creation that raises a disturbing and poignant mirror in the viewers' face.
Video documentation of the two day Workshop with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen took place at Uferstudios on July 2011. It was followed by a talk between B.B. Cohen and the philosopher Alva Noë. The talk took place in the frame of an event by the research group “Aesthetic praxis and embodiment” of the HZT Berlin in cooperation with the Tanzfabrik Berlin.

Sex, digital technology, indescribable variations of gender identity, and a party atmosphere which demands of the guests to be at ease with nudity, sex and a general laissez-faire, n’ importe quoi, joie de vivre? It could be just another night in any Berlin club worthy of its name, if not for the chance of starring in a movie that combines the meta-modern doomed replicants-in-love scenarios of Blade Runner, the anarchic humor of a John Waters DIY opera buffa, and the ornate gender semiotics usually decorating the baroque queer-theory of Judith Butler.
Tomorrow, at Mindpirates, at the Fluid: the movie open casting call, Taiwanese-American experimental filmmaker Shu Lea Cheang is seeking “gender-fluid humans and non-humans who can act, suck, jerk, fuck, eject and get on a virtual high”. If you’ve watched his previous saga, I.K.U, which was the first pornographic film to be screened at the Sundance Film festival, you will be familiar with the plot concept for his next sex-in-the-age-of-biotechnology epic: set in a post-AIDS future, it’s about a mutant generation of Zero-Gens who are bio-carriers of Delta, a white, fluid, sexual-ecstasy-inducing drug and thus are hunted by multi-national corporations, new age drug lords, and all sorts of bizarre characters eager to satisfy the most post-human of kinks. Producer Jürgen Brüning and casting director will be present, so Email them your CV to register.

It seems like there is always something to do better.
It can be a motivated thought but it can be also discouraging.
So what is it that makes something "work"? That makes you say "this is it"?
Everything can be done in so many different ways, but in real time it happens only in one way, and I need to choose this one way.
When you feel like you found something and its "working", you start to feel good and comfortable about it, then comes the red light telling you "hey, don't get too comfortable".
When you wait for the right moment to do something and every second becomes full of consciousness and possibilities, you start to lose the sensation of the "right moment".
Well, I think its a matter of balance, or actually more correctly as Gary Keller describes it- contra balance.
Perhaps its not really about "the right thing" or "the right moment", perhaps its simply about our choices.
To arrive to the point that we actually make choices, that we are actually free and liberated to make them, we need to have all (or at least a lot) of possibilities available for us. How do we do that? By gaining basic and universal tools that can be relevant and applicable in different contexts and occasions.
Now I have a lot of possibilities. I need to make some choices.
