The new Contemporary Performance Almanac Open Call has launched and we are giving away digital copies of last year's Contemporary Performance Almanac 2015!
Click here to download a copy ->
More info here on this years open source crowd funded Almanac 2016 ->
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
The Contemporary Performance Almanac 2016 is an overview of contemporary performance created or presented during the 2014/2015 season available for touring now. The book will be published in January 2016 and mailed to international presenters who are looking to invite touring work. So often presenters do not have access to the work of artists that are outside the touring circuit. Contemporary Performance sees a need to give access to both artists and presenters to find each other and start new working relationships. The book is a perfect bound 10″ x 7″ paperback book with each artist receiving a full page BW image and a full page listing.
MOV-S Chile continúa con los objetivos que se han desarrollado hasta ahora a nivel Iberoamericano, integrando además el contexto local regional y nacional en torno a las problemáticas y urgencias del sector de la danza chilena. Para el caso de Chile se asume una dirección nacional con María José Cifuentes, investigadora y directora artística de NAVE, quién ha participado en las ediciones de MOV-S de 2010, 2012 y 2014, llevando a cabo éste último año en Bilbao, el programa de radio de MOV-S en AlhóndigaBilbao.
Para el contexto chileno se pretende indagar en los siguientes objectivos:
- Potenciar las prácticas de pensamiento colectivo con respecto a algo que nos afecta a todos.
- Identificar experiencias para trabajar juntos en relación a olvidarnos de lo personal y pensar en lo común.
- Generar un contexto para pensar juntos, introducir otras metodologías y lenguajes de otras prácticas sociales y políticas en las artes vivas.
- Operar bajo una dimensión mucho más pequeña que nos permita atravesar la experiencia de modo más íntimo y operativo.
- Compartir códigos y herramientas en cuanto a nuestras experiencias de organización y gestión de la danza y su política.
El encuentro de Chile está pensado como un seminario de reflexión donde participarán diversos agentes de la sociedad civil, pertenecientes tanto a la danza chilena, como a organizaciones culturales o artísticas independientes. La propuesta es desarrollar un espacio de conversación y desarrollo de propuestas y proyectos, donde se reflexione principalmente sobre las necesidades de la danza. Su objectivo es reunir agentes culturales, sindicales y artísticos que han generado en nuestro contexto nuevas prácticas en torno al desarrollo del arte y la cultura, compartiendo códigos y estrategias que permitan una renovación en las prácticas de gestión, creación, educación y política de la danza. La discusión se enfocará hacia la importancia de la sociedad civil organizada y de cómo ésta puede ejercer una influencia en la creación de política pública de la danza.
Para ello, el encuentro se estructura en dos partes:
TALLERES
Considerando algunas temáticas importantes en el sector, se ha incluído al desarrollo de MOV-S la propuesta de dos laboratorios temáticos que permiten indagar en nuevas formas de gestión y curatoría de la danza.
Nuevos modelos de gestión cultural desde la colaboración y el trabajo en Red.
Impartido por Natacha Melo (Uruguay), miembro directivo y fundador de la Red Sudamericana de Danza. 15 de octubre. Horario: 10:00 a 16:00 h. Lugar: Biblioteca de Santiago.
Curatoría, la mediación entre todos.
Impartido por Catarina Saraiva, curadora e investigadora, ha sido Directora Artística del Festival Alkantara Portugal por más de 10 años y del Festival Panorama Danza de Brasil. 13 y 14 de octubre. Horario: 15:00 a 19:00 h. Lugar: por definir.
En ambos laboratorios participan 20 personas. Abierto al público y gratuito previa inscripción.
SEMINARIO DE REFLEXIÓN (del 15 al 18 de octubre)
Espacio de reflexión y trabajo, donde participan 25 invitados provenientes tanto de la danza nacional como también agentes específicos del ámbito artístico y cultural independiente.
El seminario estará guiado metodológicamente por un equipo de expertos donde participan Cristina Alonso de Graner (Barcelona), Victoria Pérez Royo de Artea (Madrid), David Gutiérrez de Museo del Chopo (Ciudad de México) y María José Cifuentes, directora de MOV-S Chile.
El encuentro integra en su formato:
- Visibilidad de nuevas prácticas: Mesas de exposición durante las jornadas del seminario donde se expondrán prácticas, proyectos y casos de estudio que han surgido como inquietud desde la sociedad civil y que permiten identificar de qué manera es posible incidir en política pública.
- Apertura a Público: El encuentro contempla diversas actividades que permiten diseminar los resultados e insumos del seminario, mediante un panel de participantes y voceros de la actividad. La intención es poner esta información al servicio de la comunidad mediante entrevistas, programas de radio, documentos o participan online.
Participan 25 personas:
- 10 representantes de las regiones más activas en cuanto a organización civil en danza: dirigentes de agrupaciones o personas que hoy llevan espacios o festivales.
- 5 representantes de la danza metropolitana: artistas-coreógrafos.
- 5 representantes de espacios y festivales.
- 5 representantes de la sociedad civil: junta de vecinos, sindicatos, espacios independientes, propuestas culturales independientes, etc.

For the 7th time, JOINT ADVENTURES is inviting choreographers, dancers, film and (multi-)media artists to develop new aesthetic approaches and visual languages for choreography and film in a 60-second ad format. We are searching for works that operate choreographically with the film medium and initiate unusual aesthetic dialogues. Cineastic media confrontations with choreographic approaches can result from a new combination of film, art, video and choreography; the goal is to sensitize the audience’s view of film and choreography as art forms and open its eyes for a choreography of images.
There are prizes in two categories. Monetary prizes will be awarded for the artistic quality of the films in the amount of up to 2.000,- EUR. In addition, prizes will also be awarded in the “cinema” category that includes the presentation of the winning films throughout Germany and Switzerland, as well as the screening at different European festivals. Within the framework of a cooperation with Das Tanzfest.ch, the winning films will also be included in the programs of the cities participating in Das Tanzfest.ch between 12th and 15th of May, 2016. The films submitted to the competition will be judged and the winners selected by an external and independent jury of experts; the jurors are active in the international film and dance worlds.
The award ceremony and the presentation of the winning films will take place in November 2015 in Switzerland.
The goal of the short-film project CHOREOGRAPHIC CAPTURES initiated by JOINT ADVENTURES is to anchor the various forms of representation and realization of choreography and film in the audience’s consciousness. It is meant to give this art form space for artistic input, exchange, networking and presentation in order to advance the interaction between choreography and media art.
All information required for participating in the competition is available at > www.choreooo.org.
