Norberg Festival 2009

Posted by Emelie Bardon on August 31, 2009 at 12:29pm

Oh dear, I'm so late. It's already been a month since the festival, which was a very good one on the whole. I wasn't very happy about the rain but I could cope. When it came to CCTV music, it was all quite messy. There was a misunderstanding already at the booking, I think, because we thought that the installation was supposed to be running throughout the entire festival. We arrived already on Wednesday (festival starts on Thursday) to hang our stuff, and we did. When it was all done, it turned out that it could run for no more than two hours on Saturday afternoon. Quite disappointing. On Thursday, we got the offer to have the installation running in a different part of the festival, the Pirate Tent, so on Friday morning we moved all our stuff there. It didn't turn out too good either. The pirates needed to prepare their own stuff, and CCTV music was turned on for maximum 15 mins at a take. I was annoyed. On Saturday morning, we moved camera, computer, and cables back to the 8 bit room for the scheduled installation. Unfortunately, the technicians didn't show up which delayed the whole thing even more. Further more, it was interupted by an unexpected wedding in Mimer!Anyway, the short hours we had the installation running, it was very appreciated by the few people who found their way there - as always. It makes me as happy every time to see people play and dance and enjoy themselves in the installation which is partly my creation. And we've already got plans for next year's festival. Hopefully, they'll work out better then. :)

Senator Ted Kennedy's Memorial at the JFK Library, Dorchester MA

Posted by Lisa Leake on August 28, 2009 at 9:35pm

Just had to comment on this moving experience. As a grant writer, community and arts activist for several decades, Senator Kennedy was a reliable and tireless advocate for arts and MANY social causes. He helped with my Community Foundation project while I was in grad school - part of which was to fund arts education. I shall not forget - and hope that none of you do, either. Maybe our prayers for universal healthcare will manifest.

FIA 2009/2010, Oct 12-Mar 26, Lisbon (deadline: Sep 6)

Posted by Marlon Barrios Solano on August 23, 2009 at 11:49pm

F.I.A – 2009/2010 From October 12th 2009 till March 26th 2010 A transdisciplinary artistic investigation deeply rooted in the Studies of the Body. A period of 6 months dedicated to a practical daily work which promotes the arising of essential questions brought by each individual in her/his own investigation. This daily work includes reflexion and discussion. Through it the proposals developed by each creator will come to form allowing a growing understanding and a profound knowledge of the matter under investigation. F.I.A is organized in blocs of 3 weeks of practical work focusing on the Body (sensation, perception, movement, relation) tangled with short term proposals from two days to one week long. All the work is guided by professionals from different artistic and scientific backgrounds (dance, writing, video, sound art, philosophy, anthropology, biology, body theory). At the same time each person is individually coached, having regular dialogues with the tutors and producing weekly papers that are presented to the collective for feedback. During these six months of practical work each creator should find the ways that better suit him in the process of sharing with others the questions of his current investigation. The final public communication will assume the form that each creator considers adequate as an exercise fitted to the matter of study. Applications till September 6th 2009. The applications must contain name, address, email, telephone number, date of birth, images of work, text biographies, curriculum vitae, writing in areas of interest and investment at the moment (artistic, scientific, social ...) , text to enter the area or areas to be developed through this program. And in case you want to join the last stages of artistic research - monitoring of the individual creative journeys - which take place between April and June 2010, you must attach a synopses of the work you may develop. More information & how to apply NOTE TO APPLICANTS: info received from Paula Petreca - a member of Rede Sudamericana de Danza who says: "We´re looking forward to improve the European influx among our students/research because the intercultural exchange we've already established with Spain and Latin American has been motivating us to spread our relationships."

DANSCAMDANSE 2009III International Dance Film Festival25-26-27 november 2009 - Art Cinema OFFoff - Ghent - Belgium.DANSCAMDANSE is an international film festival focusing on the interactionbetween dance and visual media: the different ways dance is a formal subjectof film, or a source of inspiration. The festival aims to be the voice of acontinuously growing number of choreographers and visual artists‹a focusedopportunity for exposing new dancefilms creations and a platform forreflection on these themes.DANSCAMDANSE festival deals with the special relationship between dance andthe moving image, between the physical aspect of dance and the pure qualityof projected light. This relationship can flourish from both directions‹inone way as a presentation of mainly choreographic works recorded/producedfor the camera or, on the other hand, as an interpretation of dance,translated into a film.The festival is a chance to join cross borders between dance and film,creating a stage for different ideas and visions to reach one another.This 3th edition focuses on uncompromising, unconformistic ExperimentalDancefilmsin a broad perspective (only single screenformat).DANSCAMDANSE is interested in new, original and personal ideas that canarouse interest and exchange. The festival is not a competition but,instead, a meeting for promotion, inspiration and new discoveries.DANSCAMDANSE is an initiative of the MahaWorksOrganisation in collaboration with Art Cinema OFFoff and FlandersInternational Film Festival-Ghent-Belgium.MahaWorksDANSCAMDANSEZandberg 19000 GhentBelgiummore infowebsite: www.danscamdanse.beemail: info@danscamdanse.betel: +32 (0) 9 330.03.72!Deadline September 25th!Please forward the news!

Dance Festival in Edinburgh

Posted by CreationEditor on August 19, 2009 at 8:30pm

As you might know is currently the Edinburgh Festival on and so Dancebase put together an eclectic and exciting selection of performing artists and companies.More info of the upcoming shows can be found onhttp://www.dancebase.co.uk/and-then-some/View-all-products.htmlThe first show I went to see was Appel by Decalage. The performers Mickael Marso Riviere and Navala Chaudhari showed a sensual and exotic mix of bboying and capoeira accompanied by live music by Jason Kalidas using Bansuri and Tabla. As a viewer you feel like you are in a dessert with the sun rising revealing Chaudhari in an elegant contortionist position before she starts gently moving like a snake across the sand. Then Riviere comes in with a powerful solo of break dancing moves before both performers break into a well-tuned duet.More about Decalage can be found onhttp://www.companydecalage.co.uk/and excerpt of the piece:http://www.dance-tech.net/video/company-decalage-appel-atMore than a year ago I produced the 3 minutes video TRENCH with Company Chameleon while they were still in development of their final piece Rites. Thus, it was very exciting to see the full 42 minutes performance of the complete piece Rites of which Trench is a section. Rites is a breath taking dance work that demands everything from its performers Anthony Missen and Kevin Turner. Drawn from personal experiences of what it means to be a man through showing the different stages that shape us: family, friends, happy moments and extreme situations. Company Chameleon really gives the audience something they can relate to and to take away with them.More about Company Chameleon onhttp://www.companychameleon.com/and excerpt of the piecehttp://www.dance-tech.net/video/rites-introduction-by-companyThe third piece I would like to mention is The Simplicity of Grasping Air by Lindsay John. A large floor and back wall projection of slowed down water footage by Jane McInally reminds of a moving Van Gogh's painting and works well with John's Butoh movements. The notes I took along the piece say that it is too slow for my awareness which I mean in a positive way because I feel I am there in every single bit of the moment. My mind is not rushing anywhere...it is just here. I have to really look how things evolve...Another article about Lindsay John's The Simplicity of Grasping Air can be found onhttp://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/46527-the-simplicity-of-grasping-air

Virtual and Physical Dance

Posted by Inarra Saarinen on August 15, 2009 at 5:30am

I am artistic director and choreographer for Ballet Pixelle (balletpixelle.org) and am working to explore the intersection of physical and virtual dance. I welcome any and all discussions. We are looking at avatars interacting with real dancers. We are "dancing into the digital future..." Does anyone have any experience with this?

Also, does anyone have/use a low-cost motion capture system?
