A fascination for waves, the dance above and below sea level, leads one to wind, light, and hypnosis, and consider how rhythm is central to our being.

No two frames of wave footage are the same, nor are two seconds of being. The height, speed, texture of waves reveal the secret of rhythms

A Choreographer’s Score: Fase, Rosas danst Rosas, Elena’s Aria, Bartók

is a conversation in which the Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker offers the performance theorist and musicologist Bojana Cvejić wide-ranging insights into choreography and into the making of the four early works (1981-86). A narrative self-analysis is prompted by questions aimed at uncovering methods and intuitions from the formative years of this distinguished choreographer. Where did the first dance movements come from? How were intricate structures conceived, and how did the joyful invention of counterpoint and performing styles take place?

De Keersmaeker reflects on her memory of reasons and chance-events that determined choices of music and movement, spatial and lighting architecture. She seeks to illuminate what guides the “organization of bodies and energies in space and time” in the four works that make up the basis for her choreographic œuvre.

Searching for a way to mediate the rich and diverse material that forms a choreography, De Keersmaeker and Cvejić create a compound score for Fase, Rosas danst Rosas, Elena’s Aria, and Bartók’s String Quartet No. 4. The score for each of the four choreographies combines a detailed verbal account, illustrated by numerous drawings, schemes, photos, and post- performance documents, with demonstrations danced by the choreographer, and excerpts from performances in which explanations begin to dance.

Great documentation  about the meeting  that gathered

The conscious body: an interdisciplinary dialogue. Paris 8 5-7 October 2012

See documentation here:

http://theconsciousbodymeeting.wordpress.com/media/

This workshop proposed a meeting place for two communities who have been investigating the nature of consciousness in, possibly radically, different perspectives. Over the past half a century (and especially over the last 15 years) cognitive scientists and neuroscientists have been studying the nature and neural basis of our phenomenological ‘subjective’ experience of the world, our own body and action and ultimately our selves.  This research has employed traditional paradigms and scientific protocols of experimental (neuro)psychology as well as the emerging technology  of human functional brain imaging  (fMRI, EEG, MEG, TMS, intracranial recordings). Though most of the research on the topic has taken the traditional   “third person perspective”, the intimately subjective nature of this topic has led scientists to integrate subjective reports into their experimental paradigms.

The study of consciousness and awareness using subjective (first person) phenomenological tools has been a central occupation within post-modern dance and related somatic techniques  since  at least the 1960′s. Despite the shared topic of interest, there has been little cross-talk between neuroscientist and dance makers .We believe that such dialogue is possible and that it has the potential to cross-fertilize the research in both domains. For this purpose we have organized this weekend long workshop. The workshop will be organized in 3 blocks, each highlighting a specific dimension of inquiry (shared by both domains). Each block will consist of a presentation of cutting edge research in the field of cognitive neuroscience, followed by a movement practice led by a dance/somatic practitioner addressing the same general issues. Finally, each block will end with an open, informal discussion.  The workshop will start with a live dance performance and will end with a poster session which will allow for non-presenting workshop members to share their ongoing dance/scientific
research.

Martha Graham Dance Company Launches
On the Couch: An Inner Monologue Competition
 
Online video competitors interpret the psychological meaning of dance 
Winning video will premiere during Martha Graham Dance Company's
New York season in March 2012 
On the Couch: An Inner Monologue Competition
 
New York, NY - November 22nd, 2011 --- The Martha Graham Dance Company announces the launch of its online video contest, On the Couch: An Inner Monologue Competition.  As part of its "Inner Landscape" season theme, the Graham Company is calling for contestants to create a monologue for a Graham solo dance that suggests a patient in a therapy session.  
 
The contest is a light-hearted component of the Martha Graham Dance Company's Inner Landscape season, which focuses on Graham's revolutionary innovations in psychological dance.  Graham famously said, "I wanted to find a way to reveal the inner landscape - to chart a graph of the heart." The company will present a range of performances, special events and educational activities all as part of the Inner Landscape theme.  Highlights include premieres of new works for the Graham Company by eminent choreographers Lar Lubovitch and Yvonne Rainer. 
 
Participants can enter the On the Couch Competition by downloading a video of a three-minute Graham dance.  The dancer begins and ends the solo on a couch and dances through a series of emotions.  The contest challenges competitors to add a voice-over or text to the solo that reveals the character's thoughts beginning with the sentence, "Doctor, it's happening again." Graham's legendary quote, "Movement never lies," must also be used somewhere within the monologue. 
 
A panel of experts in psychology, dance, music, creative writing and media will select winners based on creativity and overall enhancement of the original video clips.  Judges will include Mark St. Germain, award winning playwright and author of Freud's Last Session and Julie Jaffe Nagel, psychoanalyst, musician and chair of Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Music for the American Psychoanalytic Association among others. 
 
The winner will receive $500, and the winning video will be premiered during Martha Graham Dance Company's New York Season performances in March 2012.  The second and third place winners will receive $300 and $200 respectively.   All three winners will be promoted widely -- particularly in connection with performances of the Inner Landscape theme. 
 
"The Graham Company is leading the world of modern dance in experimenting with innovative ways to connect with new audiences," says Janet Eilber, Artistic Director of the Martha Graham Center and creator of On The Couch.  "This project is a follow up to our 2009 video contest, the Clytemnestra ReMash Challenge - which was a first for the field and had international impact.  Releasing historic masterpieces to be reinterpreted using the latest in technology leverages our legacy of innovation by adding new points of access for audiences worldwide."  
 
"Dancers in the Graham Company are constantly inventing the interior life of the characters they dance," said Tadej Brdnik, Martha Graham Dance Company Principal Dancer, coordinator of both video contests, and performer of the On the Couch solo.  "Through On the Couch, we are opening this process to artists of all kinds -- inviting them to create new psychological interpretations of this short Graham solo.  In a way, it's our rehearsal process in reverse.  It's also an engaging way to showcase Graham's rich influence even on today's global culture." 
 
Details of On the Couch: An Inner Monologue Competition including instructions and rules of the competition can be found at http://onthecouchcompetition.tumblr.com. The competition opens on November 22, 2011 and the submission deadline is 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time on February 1, 2012. Winners will be announced on March 12, 2012. 
 
The Martha Graham Center's Inner Landscape season is a partner of Brain Awareness Week.
 
The Martha Graham Dance Company:
The Martha Graham Dance Company has been a leader in the development of contemporary dance since its founding in 1926.  Today, the company is embracing a new programming vision that showcases masterpieces by Graham, her contemporaries and their successors alongside newly commissioned works by contemporary artists.  With programs that unite the work of choreographers across time within a rich historical and thematic narrative, the company is actively working to create new platforms for contemporary dance and multiple points of access for audiences.  
 
Since its inception, the Martha Graham Dance Company has received international acclaim from audiences in over 50 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. The Company has performed at the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, the Paris Opera House, Covent Garden, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, as well as at the base of the Great Pyramids of Egypt and in the ancient Herod Atticus Theatre on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. In addition, the Company has also produced several award-winning films broadcast on PBS and around the world.  More information can be found at www.marthagraham.org.

Seminario teórico práctico cuatrimestral:

“DELEUZE O EL CUERPO EUFÓRICO”

Filosofía-danza y sus mutuos contaminantes

“ Un pensamiento que fuese hasta el final de lo que puede la vida, un pensamiento que llevase la vida hasta el final de lo que puede. En lugar de un conocimiento que se opone a
la vida, establecer un pensamiento que afirmaría
la vida. La vida sería la fuerza activa del pensamiento, pero el
pensamiento el poder afirmativo de la vida (….) Pensar significaría: descubrir, inventar nuevas posibilidades de
vida.”

GILLES DELEUZE – Nietzsche y la filosofía (1962)

Esta propuesta nace como parte del proyecto de investigación “El cuerpo del Performer”, que lleva adelante la compañía independiente de video danza teatro Vacía de Espacio y que cuenta con el financiamiento del FNA.

Se plantea un recorrido teórico y físico en la obra de Gilles Deleuze buscando articular conceptos como cuerpo, arte, performance, acontecimiento, que emergen con claridad de la
lectura rigurosa y en clave rizomática de su obra. Se abordarán textos teóricos así como
lecturas que Deleuze hiciera de otros filósofos (Spinoza, Nietzsche, Bergson)
buscando la construcción de interrelaciones tanto teóricas como prácticas que
nos permitan pensar desde las fisuras que abre el pensamiento deleuziano en la
filosofía occidental.

Asímismo, aspiramos a poner en discusión y cuestionamiento conceptos que hacen a nuestra experiencia artística, política y ética en el mundo contemporáneo. Por esto mismo, se
abrirá el espacio a la investigación, improvisación y composición física
concreta construyendo planos posibles de esta obra filosófica, no solo desde
una perspectiva reflexiva sino también afectiva. El cuerpo como un concepto de
intensidades variables y el concepto como un cuerpo afectivo en devenir

Reunión informativa inaugural: Jueves 2 de Septiembre 19 30 hs en Casa Puán SOLO CON INSCRIPCIÓN PREVIA. Vacantes limitadas

After months of research, we've found a new direction for the future: motion controlled music!

When Cycling'74 discontinued VST support in favor of Ableton Live! integration, we realized we'd have to find a new avenue for development. We looked through thousands of sensor control systems. We were swamped. Then we were delighted to discover Yann Seznec, the Amazing Rolo, who has developed a Wii-based remote control for music looping. Here he is, showing the remote control unit:

Oh sure, there are lots of breadboard remote-control gizmos around for music synthesis. Very few make it to stage. They fall apart. They break. They are difficult to calibrate. They are not simple. They require geeky programming with computers. And often, all told, they cost many hundreds, or even thousands of dollars.

But the Wii remote control provides buttons and motion control in a standard consumer device costing $60. Programmers have developed demonstration interfaces for multiple Wii controllers working in tandem. A whole dance troop could control an orchestra, each moving in different ways to control different instruments!

Towards this end we are planning to integrate Yann's Wii-Looper software with my Husserl metasequencer. With Wii Husserl, dancers will be able to play music by motion! Here is a screenshot of Husserl's professional interface in its premiere version, Husserl Sapphire Edition:

Husserl is the most sophisticated, integrated step sequencer ever made. Not only does it step through loops, but also plays layers, and fugues multiple patterns, all of which can trigger and modulate each other. It supports up to 16 independent input channels and can play 512-note polyphony on up to 20 different instruments. It can filter, transpose, scale, invert, and flip rhythms and melodies. It can remap any note to any other note across all 16 channels, or separately for each channel.

Husserl has now been available from Heavens*onEarth (http://heavensonearth.com) for almost a year. Heavens*onEarth clients include professional musicians performing for bands such as Shpongle and Younger Brother, Movie Studios including Sony Classics, and TV serials including Kings and 30 Rock.

Now with the Amazing Rolo's contributions, it will also be possible to play Husserl when dancing! Yann has already created software for controlling sound loops. You can see Yann in a movie clip demonstrating the Wii Looper here:

http://heavensonearth.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=238&func=view&catid=13&id=287

We are also looking towards some stage performances in Sacramento. Please let us know at Heavens*onEarth if you are a dancer interested in controlling music by your movements too.
