ATMOSPHERE - Marc
Vanrunxt
23 April 2016 - NTG Gent, Belgium
- performance
Against the background of a
city in political transition the choreographer Marc Vanrunxt and the
dancers searched for the possible contract between 'the art of
choreography' and the desire of the young dancers.
Regardless the shared resilience, Istanbul is in almost
everything a denial of the way Vanruxt normally works. The city is
not just another context in which one can soak but it is a place
where his basic principles of thinking, centered around time and
space are being tested.
This collaboration gives him the
opportunity to (re)discover a number of themes and variations that
form the basis of his work, together with younger dancers who have
had a different training or come with different cultural
influences.
Together they want to be remembered of the
political meaning of the body and dance in another socio-political
context.

30 May 2016 - Brno, Tsjechië
- performance
Wendy's Subway
illustrates the concept of migration to children and their
families.The starting point is the story "Two small bags, ten
million dreams". A young girl is talking about a trip to the
promised land. On her road through Europe, the girl is wondering why
she can only take two small bags and why she has to leave all her
cuddly toys behind, all but one.
Like the girl, the
lorry travels through Europe. The play follows the road that many
migrants have taken and the audience, the children and their
families who have listened to her story, will form a long trail
across Europe.

IN LOVE -
http://www.divadelnisvet.cz Temiz
25 - 29
April - Centre National de la Danse, Paris, France
- artist residency
In Love, a
two-part solo dance performance supported by objects and sculptures,
is intending to activate the potential sensitivity of the
inanimate. The movement vocabulary is aimed at turning the body
into a moving sculpture. Everything is visible, and even
over visible.
Part 1: I - In this world of over
exposure, we navigate from one scene to another by
weightlessness proper to tactile experiences. How to make a
tactile experience visible? How to hide and reveal in a world
of over exposure? How to make an image last over time?
Part 2: II - Part one deals with these questions
whereas part two focuses on the conflictual aspect of any
concept, in this case the concept of love. In Part 2: II, we witness
how one (I) is transformed into two (II) over the process of
splitting, multiplication, division, reproduction, reflection,
repetition, identification, separation etc. © Irmak Altıner

VOICING PIECES - Begüm
Erciyas
26 April - 21 May - STUK,
Leuven, Belgium - artist
residency
19 and 20 May - STUK, Leuven,
Belgium
- performance
“Voicing
Pieces“ is an exploration of the poetic and political powers of the
audience’s voice. Oaths, testimonies, prayers, but also poems unfold
their performative power only when spoken out. The voice
doesn’t add anything to the content, however the written or
memorized text has to be put into use, into practice, articulated by
the voice and tied to a body, for it to have an effect.
"Voicing Pieces" proposes to regard the act of speaking, while
simultaneously listening to one's own voice, as a theater. One's own
voice becomes the site of the event. One's own voice can become a
spectacle, a fascination or a surprise.

stay in?” is written on a city wall. “We need free space
not castle dreams” says another wall text.
