Toynbee Studios, London
13 Nov - 14 Nov 2010, 11am - 5pm

Venue Information:
BOOK ONLINE

Simon Vincenzi’s Weekender will explore the “act of translation” as part of his ongoing research project Operation Infinity. This will be through an investigation into how the performer can act as a body of translation and how different states of being ‘held’ can happen whilst translating.

The lab will focus on physical acts of seeing, speaking and listening and how different texts can inhabit the body of a performer. Questions that might arise during the Weekender include “how can the body be abandoned to the physicality of understanding?” and “what might physical ventriloquism be?”

This Weekender is intended for all practicing artists from any discipline, from emerging artists at the beginning of their career to those more highly experienced.

SIMON VINCENZI’S PRACTICE

Simon Vincenzi’s work pushes the boundaries of expectations of theatre and the audience’s relationship to the act of presentation. His work is about producing a threshold of uncertainty:

between what has already happened and what is happening now
between what has been perceived and what has been stimulated
between what is seen and what can’t be seen
between what is heard and what might be heard

Memory, communication, time, the divided self, consciousness, death and disappearance are recurring themes that develop uncanny, evocative and intensely visceral stage worlds. He frequently develops work through rigorous and intensive periods of research in which the context plays an important role in shaping what is generated. This lab weekend is a unique opportunity to develop your own practice using methods facilitated by Simon, whilst joining him in his own practice-based research.

Simon Vincenzi is… a radical theatre visionary.
Time Out

OPERATION INFINITY
Operation Infinity is the title of a body of work that has stemmed from a previous Bock & Vincenzi piece The Infinite Pleasures of the Great Unknown, where six performers played the parts of thousands as the fictional “Troupe Mabuse”. Inspired by two fictional characters – Fritz Lang’s Dr. Mabuse and Shakespeare’s King Lear – the piece follows a never-ending choreography of chaos, possibility and prophecy. Operation Infinity draws on these themes and aims to reconfigure different performances in the same physical space, allowing an audience to use different forms of theatrical interpretation. With the Artsadmin Weekender Simon wishes to explore how the act of translation can affect such relationships with the audience also.

BIOGRAPHY
Simon Vincenzi is a London-based theatre director, choreographer and designer who has created a huge body of work over the past 15 years. Prior to Bock & Vincezi he created the ensemble performance piece Heartless. Then, in 1995 he joined Frank Bock to form Bock & Vincenzi. During their 13-year partnership the duo made works for both adult and children audiences that include Three Forest Dances In A Room Of Wood, Being Barely There I Saw You Too and Breathtaking. In 1999 Bock & Vincenzi began a seven-year research period culminating in The Invisible Dances (2004-2006); a theatre work in three acts presented over three years. During this collaboration Bock & Vincenzi worked with over 50 specialists including both sighted and visually impaired performers, dancers and actors; artists with physical disabilities, sound and video artists, computer programmers, philosophers, poets, writers, a phenomenologist and a spirit medium.

Works made for Simon’s evolving project Operation Infinity include: The Infinite Pleasures of the Great Unknown, Club Extinction and Luxuriant.

As the piece ends in roaring darkness, it’s as if we finally join [the performers]. And you’d be amazed at just what a blast that is.

Susan Kozel combines dance and philosophy in the context of new media. She works with bodies, ideas and technologies. She has a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Essex, UK, and a long history of various movement techniques (from ballet to butoh). She is an internationally recognized and distinguished researcher. Susan has recently started a permanent position as a Professor of New Media at MEDEA, Malmö University.

MEDEA Talks presents: “Social Choreographies”

Friday, October 29 15:00-17:00

Place: MEDEA, Ö Varvsg. 11 A

Limited availability, sign up using the form below

Susan Kozel’s Medea talk will be about dance and social media. “Social Choreographies” is a research initiative but is also a way of looking at the urban world: seeing how we already ‘dance’ with our technologies and how, if we feel like it, can enhance the embodied quality of our mobile lives. She will talk about the IntuiTweet project that uses Twitter to access and exchange movement intuition. Can a social networking platform also be a way to enhance the performance of every day lives? Do Social Choreographies result? She will also talk about a few earlier projects that integrated bodies with sensing technologies.

Moderator: Tanja Mangalanayagam, Project Manager at Skånes Dansteater

CITYRAMA in Torino, Italy and Bern Switzerland November 2010

CITYRAMA is a new performance created by Caden Manson / Big Art Group in collaboration with the students of HKB and the Teatro Stabile of Torino. CITYRAMA comprises a site-based theatrical and video installation that functions as a performance machine, asking the actor/participant to respond on stage to a flood of stimuli and make split-second responses in the context of a fragmented live movie. Multi-threaded stories, overlapping emotions, and conceptual actions that call attention to the physical occupation of the space combine into a portrait of the living city, of the city as a chimera created of voids and images, human stories and architectural constraints. In the interplay between occupation and transformation, CITYRAMA revels in the struggles of the ordinary hero to create her own world.

Computer games as a new form of art and entertainment are now firmly established worldwide. Interdisciplinary collaboration between scriptwriters, animators, composers and designers is essential to the creation of new game worlds. The Fantoche International Animation Film Festival, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, the Federal Office of Culture and the SUISA Foundation for Music initiated their «Call for Projects: Swiss Games» with the aim of promoting the creation of Swiss computer games of a high artistic standard. Grants will be provided as an incentive to up-and-coming Swiss game developers to produce daring innovative game concepts, to narrate interactive stories and to open the door to new visual worlds.

A credit line of CHF 300,000 has been opened in 2011 for the first round of grants. There will be a maximum grant of CHF 50,000 per project. The adjudication will be performed by an international jury chaired by Guillaume de Fondaumière, who has produced games such as «Fahrenheit» and «Heavy Rain» at French video game developer Quantic Dream. The selected entries will be presented at the Fantoche International Animation Film Festival in Baden in September 2011. Additionally, the SUISA Foundation for Music will award a prize of CHF 15,000 for the best original sound composition.

The jury’s criteria

The «Call for Projects: Swiss Games» is open only to developers in or from Switzerland. A playable prototype must be submitted no later than March 2011. Entries will be judged according to the following criteria: gameplay (the mechanics of the game), scenario (storytelling), visuals (aesthetics), music and sound design, technical innovation and interactivity. Overall impression and the interplay of the various components will also be taken into account.

Further information on how to apply will be provided on the Fantoche website as of 15 November 2010: www.fantoche.ch

Further details of Pro Helvetia’s two-year programme «GameCulture – From Game to Art», which is launched at the same time as the «Call for Projects: Swiss Games», are provided at:www.gameculture.ch

The 11th Consciousness Reframed International Research Conference,
November 4 – 6, 2010, Trondheim.

3 days – 20 nations – 65 speakers!


On behalf of TEKS and The Planetary Collegium:

In cooperation with the Planetary Collegium, at the University of Plymouth, England, TEKS – Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre, is hosting the 11th Consciousness Reframed International Research Conference, with the title of ‘MAKING REALITY REALLY REAL‘.


The Consciousness Reframed conference series was founded by Roy Ascott at the University of Wales in 1997. Consciousness Reframed is a forum for trans-disciplinary inquiry into art, science, technology, design and consciousness, drawing upon the expertise and insights of artists, designers, architects, performers, musicians, writers, scientists, and scholars, usually from at least 20 countries.

From November 4 – 6, 2010, the conference is being held in Trondheim, Norway, in conjunction with the new biennial for arts and technology ‘Meta.Morf 2010 – New.Brave.World!


CONSCIOUSNESS REFRAMED 11
Making Reality Really Real
...

"The status of our reality is uncertain. The solid objective world of our everyday experience is a representation of an oscillating immateriality that we recognise, at another level of resolution, as constituting quantum phenomena. It’s not that matter doesn’t matter anymore, so much perhaps as the idea that matter isn’t matter anymore. Can we not reasonably ask whether there is a reality beyond what quantum mechanics describes, even closer to the really real? If our material, everyday world depends on our consciousness, what existed in the world before human consciousness had evolved, and how will the world look if our consciousness evolves still further? For many who live largely online, cyberspace accommodates a vivid and consequential normality that renders the material world less relevant to their lives. Until recently, we adapted our sensibilities to fit into separate boxes, variously identified as real, virtual, spiritual, and so on, which we saw as being served by separate ontologies. That separation has now merged into a flowing continuity, in which telecommunications, computing, nano technology, bioengineering and pharmacology play significant roles. The binary opposition between real and virtual realities no longer holds, and the Western conception of the individual human brain creating its own isolated mind may be giving way to the recognition of a connected intelligence seeking fuller access to a primordial field of universal consciousness. What might be the role of the artist in all of this? Can a trans-disciplinary art practice contribute to strategies for making the real really real?"

These issues form the background to a conference of artists, scholars, scientists, and engineers that will constitute the 11th Annual International Research Conference, "Consciousness Reframed: art and consciousness in the post-biological era", convened by Espen Gangvik of the Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre, and co-directed by Roy Ascott, president of the Planetary Collegium. Previously the conference has taken place in Australia, Austria, China, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

The Consciousness Reframed conference is being held in Trondheim, Norway, in conjunction with the new biennial for arts and technology ‘Meta.Morf 2010 – New.Brave.World!‘

Salón del taller de Butoh. Denise Fujiwara está al fondo, detrás del piano. (octubre, 2010)




3er día. 14 de octubre de 2010.


Un erorme moretón en mi rodilla izquierda, una raspadura en el mismo lugar y dolor en la espalda baja son los recuerdos físicos de las dos sesiones anteriores; yo esperaba ampollas en los pies pero no recordaba que son comúnes los dolores por pequeños golpes y como consecuencia del continuo contacto con el suelo. Todo tiene su precio.


Taijiqigong, desplazamientos, énfasis en la interacción con el compañero (¡eso refrescó el entrenamiento!) y desequilibrios, uso y aprovechamiento del desbalance y fluidez en el desplazamiento, y nuevamente el centro en la cadera y los hilos que la tensan y la dirigen... Recuérdenmelo, ¿estaba yo en un curso con el Odin Teatret?


Parte del entrenamiento básico es caminar entrando en contacto con el suelo, con suavidad y en una gran lentitud; es un ejercicio que Denise nos dice lo toma del entrenamiento del teatro No japonés, donde la caminata es invisible. Este tipo de caminata no me ha sido extraña en absoluto, la aprendí durante el tiempo que viví en China, primero en el Taijiquan, que tiene un ejercicio similar base, y después en la meditación Chang (el zen de China), que la usa para mantener la meditación por el contacto con el cuerpo en movimiento. He experimentado el teatro No como espectador y esa caminata de verdad no se percibe desde el público, es el desplazamiento del actor el que se percibe; los pies son invisibles hasta que el actor mismo los utiliza como foco de alguna acción. Un trabajo árduo para hacerlo tangible, aún habiéndolo aprendido en otras técnicas.


Aquí un recuerdo de desplazamientos de un escena de Teatro Noh que grabé en Kioto en 2006:

Vinieron entonces los nuevos ejercicios con un objetivo muy claro, entrar en contacto con suelo. Primero el contacto debía de darse con la piel y después con los músculos y finalmente con los huesos (¿debo recordar que tenía dolores casi todo el tiempo?). Aún cuando era posible la interacción con los otros, las primeras fases del ejercicio fueron muy personales, pero a partir de que entramos a los huesos, la idea era seguirse desplazando y sumarse al posible contacto con el otro. Mi cadera se reencontraba con todos, había atracción y rechazo, mi cuerpo giraba y en momento se golpeaba, se rozaba con el cuerpo del otro; una vez, sólo una, entre en un hermoso juego con una compañera en donde nuestras miradas no se separaron por unos dos o tres minutos, pero nuestros cuerpos se desplazaban, caían, giraban.


Denise interrumpió por segundos para pedir que usáramos más el suelo y que cayéramos y nos levantáramos buscando la fluidez y la suavidad en la caída aún cuando hubiera alta velocidad. Sufriendo físicamente (de verdad, era doloroso) entré al juego con esa circulación que me hacía caer y levantarme, girar por el suelo y saltar, un juego que hace años me hizo vibrar creativamente con el training grotowskiano.


Vino la pausa teórica y eso nos dió un respiro; muchos comentarios salieron a flote, sobre la interacción, sobre el no coreografiar o el no personificar, sobre cómo ser un elemento y no dejarse ir por la repetición misma de nuestros movimientos. Denise habla de la inexistente repetición, de una siempre novedad aún en la forma misma: el Butoh tiene una forma, una forma que viste el espectáculo, una forma que le da forma, pero esa forma es un proceso, nunca es una premisa de trabajo. Nosotros estábamos aprendiendo esa forma con el proceso del taller, con el "embodiment" de los elementos.


Casi sin mayor préambulo vino un ejercicio (que me pareció mucho más largo que los anteriores), sobre los estados del elemento Agua. Y como ayer hablé de Kazuo Ohno como agua de estanque, su imagen estaba conmigo; sabía que era un tanto peligroso (por aquello de la imitación), y me dediqué a sentirme inspirado por esa imagen y soltarla, dejarla ir y dedicarme a ser el estanque.


Los estados del agua se sucedían uno a otro con rapidez, y las imágenes volaban en mi cabeza. El ruido de los otros trabajando era mucho mayor que las otras dos ocasiones; ruidos de pasos, de azotones, de manazos, de sonidos guturales, pero no había desconcentración. Estos ejercicios de corporeizar un estado de algún elemento nos permiten una total concentración, entre otras cosas porque son muy disfrutables, es agradable realizarlos. No hay mayor compromiso que dejarse ir por el estado del elemento, no movimiento específico, no estructura definida, sólo exploración, juego, observación del dejarlo correr, ¿por qué alguien habría de desconcentrarse?


Mis dos preferidos estados del agua fueron el agua de un jarrón al que le meten flores y la llegada de un agua de tubería a un estanque.


Esta vez Denise nos pidió repetirlos tres veces. El mayor peligro radicaba en comenzar a establecer una coreografía de movimientos y reconocer trucos o clicks para lograr el estado que requeríamos repetir, pues en realidad no estábamos repitiendo el estado si no ilustrándolo. ¿Cuál es la solución? Según Denise, sólo la práctica, y yo ahora también lo creo. Una imposición clara de lo que no queremos que sea o se haga, y una liberación para que el "ser" sea y se dé, así sin más.


Por primera vez haríamos uso de la música con la conciencia del ejercicio de la sesión pasada: usarla y dejarnos ir con ella o rechazarla y crear nuestro propio ritmo y melodía a partir de lo que hace el elemento.


Sí, hay una contradicción entre ser el elemento y el dejar serlo en la escena, pero también saber usar la música o rechazarla, y aún más, durante la presentación de los estados, entrar a escena y hacer diferencia entre cada uno de los dos estados, y hoy añadir la interacción. Ante las preguntas y la confusión, Denise trató de explicar lo que quería para la presentación final de la sesión, explicaba la pequeña estructura: -"uno entra al centro, mira a público y comienza..."-, y en algún momento calla y dice, y bueno, hagan eso y vean cómo le hacen, descúbranlo.


Esto es un juego de contradicciones donde la razón pierde, como aquellas sesiones donde Kazuo Ohno hablaba a su grupo sobre danzar con sus antepasados, sí, estaban todos en él, pero él sabía con cuál quería bailar y con cuál no. Será por eso que el Butoh es un arte, y no un camino místico o una religión.


La presentación fue formidable, la música que escogió Denise era verdaderamente poderosa y por primera vez descubrimos la interacción de nuestros estados. Hubo una especie de ensayo (nosotros no lo sabíamos como tal) y después comentarios pidiéndonos Denise consejos para hacer más poderoso el trabajo, ideas para fortalecer el espectáculo que se estaba dando: se habló entonces de interrelación, de transiciones claras para lograr los estados y de descubrir momentos para saber cuándo entrar a la escena.

De casualidad una compañera entró tan tarde a escena que cuando comenzó estaba sola, pero la carga de todos los trabajos anteriores le dieron un marco ideal, sus movimientos adquirieron una dimensión mayor a la cotidiana (¡claro!), y al final nos dimos todos un aplauso, pero ella se mereció un abrazo de Denise porque de alguna manera supo "cargar" con todo aquello que habíamos dejado los demás.


Sí, no hay mucho espacio para los razonamientos en los procesos del Butoh, de verdad, no lo hay. Pero también debo decirlo, no creo que hagan ninguna falta.

CYNETART 2010 Videoteaser #1 from Trans-Media-Akademie Hellerau on Vimeo.


CYNETART is an international festival for computer-aided art in Dresden.
The festival has been the focal point of the research at
Trans-Media-Akademie (TMA) Hellerau for 14 years now. This work has made
the festival become a countrywide and internationally recognised
platform of digital culture – providing an in-depth overview of current
developments of technology-based art.

Since the foundation in 1997 CYNETART has accomplished a lively mix of
creative programmers, skilful engineers and innovative sound technicians
and media artists from all over the world. With their original ideas
they come together in November every year. The event presents current
trends in the artistic contention about and application of computer and
network technologies.

Every two years the festival is accompanied by the international
CYNETART competition. With a total prize money of 28.400 Euro it ranks
among Europe’s top awards in the area of media art. An international
expert jury chooses the winners of the CYNETART-award from more than 300
submissions and 30 countries. It also awards a sponsorship prize and an
artist-in-residence-scholarship funded by the Saxon State Ministry of
Science and Art.

CYNETART is a dynamic and energy-driven festival which thrives on the
variety of its international artists and visitors. It features the
captivating architecture of the exceptional and authentic venue, namely
the festival theatre Hellerau and a program rich in contrast. The latter
includes performances, exhibitions, lectures and workshops as well as
electronic live-concerts – altogether an exciting panorama.

The upcoming 14th international festival for computer-aided art will
open on 11th November 2010 with the awards ceremony for the CYNETART
competition 2010. On seven event days the 14th edition of the event is
going to present an exhibition with the prize-winning works and selected
competition entries, first-class performances and an evening program
including live sets with international electronic musicians and VJs.

Bio:

Jean-Baptiste Veyret-Logerias has been practicing singing since he was 10 years old, as well as choir leading for many years. In 2003 he was part of the vocal ensemble conducted by Pierre Calmelet which won the silver medal at the national competition of the Florilège Vocal de Tours International Choral Competition (FR).

He started dancing when he was studying linguistics at the university in 2000. In 2005 he became one of the first students of the new ‘Essais’ programme at the CNDC in Angers (FR) / artistic director Emmanuelle Huynh, where he was invited to develop his own ideas on movement and staging. In that frame he was an interpreter in many projects, such as My Country Music by Deborah Hay, of which he made a solo adaptation : acclimatation. He also started developing his own research and made chambre son, a choreographic and vocal piece for an a capella choir. During this course, he was also invited to give singing workshops to the students of the two-year training programme for professional dancers.

After finishing his formation in Angers in 2006, he kept developing his work. He made a performance on breathing with vacuum cleaners, inspiratoire/aspiratoire, and kept searching on choirs in movement with a choir of dancers-breathers, breathing choir, in Porto (PT), and a choir of children dancers-singers, Singing with Nicaoax, in Oaxaca (MX) in the framework of the international forum “Prisma”. Moreover he was part of collective works, such as Tout Court, on invitation by Tommy Noonan at Stadttheater in Freiburg (DE), and Five people at Campo in Ghent (BE) on invitation by Dirk Pauwels.

¿que premisas/ paradigmas/problemas/ preguntas están en juego en el Arte contemporáneo hoy día?

la sensorialidad y la escucha como fundamentos del trabajo,



improvisación y composición,



dramaturgismo en danza.

Production : Opéra national de Paris / Telmondis

In response to a documentary commission on the Opéra de Paris, Jérôme Bel designed a solo show based on dancer Véronique Doisneau. Doisneau is a «sujet» of the Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris on the verge of retirement. On stage, in short minimalist sequences, she evokes her life inside and outside of the ballet and explains and dances memorable moments of her career. The film, which developed out of this show, insists on the poetry and quality of her movements, definitively defining Véronique Doisneau as (a) character.

Student of the Centre national de danse contemporaine d'Angers from 1984 to 1985, Jérôme Bel danced in France and Italy before becoming Philippe Decouflé's assistant for the ceremonies of the XVIth Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, in 1992. From Nom donné par l'auteur, his first piece in 1994, and The show must go on in 2001, up until the more recent Pichet Klunchun & myself in 2005, Jérôme Bel has been working internationally and shares his time between Paris and Rio de Janeiro. His creation, Véronique Doisneau, opened the season of the Ballet de l'Opéra national de Paris in 2004. The film based on the show was directed with cinematographer Pierre Please, write your responses as comments here.
