If you want to learn more about how to translate into a particular language, it also involves analyzing and interpreting your results to find original and useful content. If you do it right, like we're in the future and you're interested in a competitor, you can ask for a response. Holders of free and sophisticated motivation for automation sound automation, and the ability to express oneself in a special specialty of the day.

Before learning, I want to start well established in case you can access it.

And fundamental knowledge of bibliographic information for a fundamental explanation of community concerns.

Design your content

Coming up with your memory is crucial. You cannot invest in an investment involving a full and comprehensive investment. What is the main reason you were able to make your contribution? The arguments and ideas have been put together in an attempt to break into your own idea of ​​the main idea. You must provide evidence and precursors for the defense and the aphorism. No nuance was found in the piano and writing algorithms.

Investigations

Many related problems have arisen. You can still be a professional teacher at this stage. Some of the online wowessay services are more educated at the workplace in the project that has gone astray. It's a great idea, as well as what you have to say about the excitement and excellence of excellent lyrics.

VRYSTAAT ARTS FESTIVAL – JULY 2020 ONLINE - Bloemfontein, South Africa

SCREENDANCE: DIVERSITY & REPRESENTATION MATTERS

https://www.facebook.com/vrystaatkunstefees

An online panel discussion via Zoom 02 July 2020

South Africa: 14-15:30 SAST 

UK: 13:00 - 14:30 BST

Hosted by Georgina Thomson and Jeannette Ginslov

Introduction

This is an online Screendance panel event that presents and discusses the art form, Screendance.  Screendance artists from diverse backgrounds have been asked to present their work, revealing what Screendance is, how they create it, and why it matters. It is also a panel discussion about the form of Screendance, the representation of bodies on screen, cultural diversity and the body’s representation at International Screendance festivals.

Given the current socio-political climate we can no longer skirt around the issues of bodies race, diversity and their representation on screen. To date, this topic has never been fully discussed on a Screendance panel. Being highly contentious these issues are often difficult to talk about and overlooked in favour of other discussions on funding and networking, for example. These are also important issues, but the representation of dancing bodies cannot and should not be a discussion held by academics behind closed doors. Yes, it may be uncomfortable to talk about race and representation, but this discomfort needs to be discussed as we cannot get away from bodies, their representation and context. They are the very medium of Screendance, entangled with the medium of cinema. So how do we overcome something that we cannot and should not ignore? How do we ask these questions in and with our work and how is this represented on screens internationally? There may be no answers, but at least let us try to talk about these issues. We have work to do.

Session Description:

Sati: The Practice of Mindful Awareness 

We will explore the potency of embodied awareness: ‘bodyfulness’ as a reframing of the four foundations of Mindfulness (Satipathana) as presented by early buddhism. We will practice Sati in combination with contemporary practices influenced by embodied cognition and somatics. The sessions start with guided mindfulness practice, silence and unfolds to a council/dialogue practice.

DRE is Dance Career Recovery/Transition option that can be applied immediately following the COVID-19 pandemic, when social distancing restrictions have been lifted and you deem your locality/community safe. 

 It will assist you through the uncertainties of negotiating a “new normal” of a post-COVID-19 society and its income uncertainties, while returning you immediately to maximum movement productivity with minimal cost to you individually.

There are two stages to DRE.   Stage 1: You plan your DRE environment now during the pandemic. Stage 2: You implement it immediately upon the lifting of social restrictions. 

For more information on STAGE 1 & 2:  Link-  DRE

DRE is free to apply and use by any Dancer, anywhere.

A sensual, fluid, hypnotic exploration of a “human sculpture”: the bodies of five dancers pass, cross, follow, intertwine with each other. A video of dance, adaptation of choreographer Gilles Jobin’s “The Moebius Strip”.

The Moebius Strip, created at the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris during the spring of 2001 became one of his most emblematic pieces. “On the stage, viewed as a white painting, bodies are thrown like splashes of colors, mixed as tint areas and given rhythm by the shades of the clothes” (Rosita Boisseau). This creation evokes his father’s paintings, Arthur Jobin, which alternate between geometrical rigor and intensive vibration of juxtaposed colors.

Dance film 26 minutes / choreography THE MOEBIUS STRIP recorded in december 2001 at the Arsenic, Lausanne.

Dance film 26 minutes / choreography THE MOEBIUS STRIP recorded in december 2001 at the Arsenic, Lausanne.
Premiered 8 mai 2001, Théâtre de la Ville Les Abbesses, Paris (France)
Choreography : Gilles Jobin
Dancers : Christine Bombal, Jean-Pierre Bonomo, Vinciane Gombrowicz, Gilles Jobin, Lola Rubio
Music : Franz Treichler
Light design : Daniel Demont

Gilles Jobin has created a choreographic work in immersive virtual reality. With VR_I, the choreographer will invite the audience for a unique sensory experience. Equipped with virtual reality headsets, five visitors at a time freely navigate a real world inhabited by virtual dancers. Developed in association with Artanim, the work will hold its World Premiere from 6 to 10 October at the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in Montreal.

A choreographer combines dance with immersive virtual reality in a work that provides viewers with a unique sensory experience. Blending art with technology, VR_I resulted from the encounter between Gilles Jobin and the founders of Artanim, Caecilia Charbonnier and Sylvain Chagué, motion capture technology experts and virtual reality pioneers in Switzerland and abroad. In association with them, Gilles Jobin developed VR_I, a work in which the creator questions our perception of reality and enters new unexplored and unchartered territories for contemporary dance. Thanks to the virtual reality technology developed by Artanim, VR_I viewers equipped with virtual reality headsets and backpack computers move freely in a total virtual space. Five viewers at a time may explore this world, moving in turn in an endless desert, an urban landscape or inside a loft at the top of a mountain. Participants each embody an avatar that faithfully replicates their movements, enhancing the feeling of immersion in the virtual world while also enabling them to see their peers. During the experience, participants can thus interact physically and even communicate with the others. Five virtual dancers then come to blur their perception, multiplying, growing to the point of becoming giants or becoming tiny. With these effects of scale, Gilles Jobin addresses the concept of spatiality in a truly original way. The international cast for this work that was designed and produced in Switzerland features American composer Carla Scaletti, Belgian fashion designer Jean-Paul Lespagnard and dancers Victoria Chiu, Susana Panadés Diaz, Diya Naidu, Tidiani N’Diaye and Gilles Jobin himself.

Somatic awareness+breath+mindful movement+connection

I am offering the Dancing Awareness class adapted to the online environment. I will continue our exploration and benefiting of the possibilities of playing with networked presence, shared vitality and expanded somatic exploration.  I lead the sessions as synthesis of my investigation on somatics, embodied cognition, meditation, dance improvisation and networked performance.

You need a hight speed internet, computer or smart devices with camera and microphone. You can do this class alone or with a group and need at least some space to move and play. You may also adapt the activities to your space and range of movement afforded by it. I suggest to place the device at floor level and be willing to reconnect with  you body and with others.

We will use the ZOOM video platform.

I am pleased to announce the release of A Performer's Perspective, an interactive online documentary that transmits the perspectives of three dancers in Judith Garay's multimedia dance work THE FINE LINE ~ twisted angels.

The overarching goal of this project is to translate and extend one’s perceptions of dance movement while also exploring how interaction and digital technology can be utilized to better communicate bodily knowledge to a broad audience.

The design of the site is inspired by a close reading analysis I conducted of The Synchronous Objects website (published in the MOCO  2014 conference proceedings) and seeks to present the dancer’s data through three interactive categories: instructional, exploratory, and translational.

The Instructional portion of the website includes reflections from the performers in selected scenes from THE FINE LINE~twisted angels and short documentary videos related to the making of the THE FINE LINE ~twisted angels and each dancer’s perspective: Vanessa Goodman, Bevin Poole, and Antonio Somera. 

In the Exploratory section we visualize the dancers’ movement data, collected with various motion sensors such as, the Myo armband and the Microsoft Kinect camera.  In future versions of the site, this section will be expanded to include more options for viewers to interact with the data.

The Translational section re-imagines the dancers’ data through varying artistic representations including music, animations, and visualizations. 

I am extremely grateful to the design/implementation team that has made the creation of this site possible including: Omid Alemi, Ethan Soutar-Rau, Theo Wong, Linda Nguyen, Professor Thecla Schiphorst, and the many other researchers that helped out along the way. Please see full credits here.

This project is still in development and if you have suggestions or ideas for future collaborations I would love to hear from you!

Dear friends of dance-tech,

I am introducing to you the new site of the innovative low-residency MFA Choreography from Jacksonville University in Puerto Rico.  The project received its first 10 students from across the globe this summer.  The site in Puerto Rico has been explicitly designed to serve as a bridge to Latin American artists who are seeking professional development.

The international group of artists will lodge at the guesthouse "Kloster" and they will gather to experiment with hybrid performance structures and explore new formats for presenting and making dance. 

Given that today the large majority of dance artists do not have access to basic productions means, the resources and infrastructures of the contemporary dance scene will be critically reflected on during this encounter. It will serve as a starting point for the exchange of different practices that these artists have developed in their specific contexts in Iran, China, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Belgium, France, and the USA.

During the Hombroich : Summer Fellows 2017 invited artists will examine and discuss concrete possibilities for creating non-standard dance formats that are material reflections of their working conditions, production means, artistic concerns, and modes of organisation.

UNSTABLELANSCAPE Online Festival: Forever Hybrid Week 1
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.
