I AM.

I AM. is a new co-production by the Association of Professional Dance Artists „PULS“ and Slovenian Art Association „Imani“ choreographed by Ana-Maria Bogdanovic. Inspired by Antony de Mello's lectures „Awarness“, she probes that which cannot be grasped in any other way but only through negotiation (neither this or that), or rater topics that never cease to put us before the wall of cognition (love, god, thruth, existance, death).
As an alternative to the failed attempts of restraining „the great topics“, and reducing them to the level of recognizable, forcing them into letters and words, through movement, the performers explore the layers that evade our means of cognitive and verbal perception. Is our being capable of reaching its apex and its essence through movement, through dance? Can dance emphasize or even celebrate our being? What does it mean to be? When are we truly being?
I dance, therefore I am.

Time.Makes.Moment.Past.

Life in present time. Expecting future.
How can voice and movement interfere each other?
How does the meaning of text change by repetition, switching words, interpretation and context of situation?
The piece wants to give an inside view of the emotional body, by using the means of dance, voice and abstract visualisation.
The spectator takes part in the moment of experience, in which presence turns into past, the place of ending- and starting again.

feeturing …

„feeturing …“ is a solo that has parameters of a snapshot in time. The movement material is based on a simple act of walking and is fast developing to related forms keeping the shift of weigh as the only constant. Time as a constant is also being reassessed so that moving through tempo extremes creates a different reality of 'normal' timing. It proposes a question about the length of a moment, something that we take for granted as an experience.

Smoke

Four people dressed in red move in a particular way; three people dressed in black smoke cigars and move in a different, particular way. Perhaps these ways serve to suggest that these seven people are characters: exuberant sirens? dangerous mafiosos? Perhaps it's all just an event that takes place in or around ARGEkultur on June 20, 2008.

Performer: Ellinor Ljungkvist, Mike Winward, Cecilia Rydin Savander, Tine Marinka, Markus Axellsson, Ona Foste and Linda Trolese

Madame …!

Picturing women in our society – ordinary alienate? The choreographer is playing with the expectations of the audience and questions the ordinary genre of the female. The piece reflects on self-awareness, self-discovery of an outside form on self-decision as well as alienation. Shown will be an excerpt of 5 min of a 15 minute piece developed and inspired by the exhibition Frauenzimmer – UPDATE II.
„I have chosen this piece because it will be part of a bigger concept which is still work in progress. Venus:power will show 4 female characters embodied by two performers to discover the diversity of layers inside each of us. The pictures will be collected mixed up or exchanged with each other and resolve in space.“

T.R.A.N.S.

Work in progress

T.R.A.N.S. ist ein Soloprojekt dass im Rahmen der sommerszene 08 aufgeführt wird und in Cooperation mit dem Derra de Moroda Archiv entstanden ist. Ausgangspunkt des Researches ist ein Bild von Jules Perrot.
Geschlechtertausch war im klassischen Ballet des 19.Jahrhunderst gang und gebe. Männer wurden hauptsächlich als Choreografen anerkannt, die Weiblichkeit wurde auf der Bühne angehimmelt. Sind die männlichen Kritiker und ihre Sichtweisen schuld an dem wenigen was man über die männlichen Virtuosen der damaligen Zeit weiss?

Auszug aus „Gladiatorendämmerung“

Performance: Heidrun Neumayer & Martin Uhlir
Komposition: Martin Wistinghausen

Vier junge zeitgenössische Komponisten aus Salzburg und Bern vertonen den Mikro- und Makrokosmos des sportlichen Wettkampfs in vier Stationen. Im Rahmen dessen agiert die Choreographie von Heidrun Neumayer zwischen Musik und Video.
Teil der Dramaturgie ist das ästhetische Spiel zwischen Individualität (Gladiator) und den Erwartungen der Masse (Zuschauer).
Von der Schöpfung bis zum Tod durchläuft der Sportlerkörper sein Sportlerleben, wie auch die Situation des Wettkampfes von der Vorbereitung bis zur Siegerehrung. Das Zusammenspiel von Körpern, Trainingsgeräten und zeitgenössischer Komposition schaffen das interdisziplinäre „Spielfeld“ einer Auseinandersetzung zwischen Kunst und Sport.
Die Gladiatorendämmerung wurde am 13. und 14. Juni in der ARGEkultur uraufgeführt.
Heidi Neumayer wird Im Rahmen von CRUSH eine gekürzte Version des vierten Teiles nochmals zeigen.

My first …

„The eye cannot choose but see, we cannot bit the ear be still, our bodies feel where re they be, against or with our will.“
William Wordsworth

Toxicated body. Relation to physical movement. What is the difference. Which are the levels- in a sense when mind enters the body, awareness of it. When and how/why emotions of euphoria, laugh attack, fear, shame, aggressiveness …appears. How you deal with it without having a control over yourself. To hide it, to show it even more, to surrender, will you help yourself …what is actual reality of it.

In the middle with you

Doesn't matter if you are good or bad person, if you fall from the building anyway you will hit the ground.

People say that stupid question doesn't exist.
How things are connected and why they should be? Relation between us, them and others? Who are we? Who are you? What is our relation? What kind of atmosphere do we create, what is the taste of it? How many people will watch this piece? Did you count technicians? Where are you going after you read this? Why? With who? You will come back soon? Do you prefer day or night? Black or white? Today-tomorrow? Why? Why do we ask this questions which can't be stupid? How many telephone numbers do you know by heart? Would you like to see me with one leg shaved and the other not? It will rain 26. of September?
This was our starting point, questions we were dealing with in the process.

ich seh ich seh, was du nicht hörst

Der Ausgangspunkt meines momentanen Stücks ist das Ausschalten des Sehsinns und das Erforschen des damit einhergehenden, veränderten Bewegungsausdrucks. Dabei eröffnen sich für mich zwei Räume, der Raum im Hier und Jetzt und der Erinnerungsraum. Die Gemeinsamkeit der beiden ist eine eingeschriebene Intimität und Authentizität. Als ZuseherIn bildet man sofort Assoziationen und Geschichten, welche der Körper erzählt, ohne rationell eine Geschichte erzählen zu wollen.

Osmosi & Fries (and after the kiss he ate her)

Intersections.
Liquid traces moving through the body.
Skin and eyes are the places where the osmosis happens.
Images appears from the memory of the skin,
sensitive fragments are coming from the back of the eyes.
'This is what I see when I'm inside the green mouth'

Osmosis is an excange, and to be more precise, as the dictionary says, is a chemical process of diffusion of molecules through a membrane.
My attention was drawn from skin and eyes as 'places' from where you can perceive the world, get in contact with the outside. Skin, contact, or sensations that sometimes you can not name, but that are clearly vibrating in your body, from the surface to the inside.
And eyes: they see the present, but also your wishes and desires and reminiscences can make you „see“ …
I'm a very dreamy person, so for me was not always easy to deal with this layers!
Which one is the reality?
What am I seeing in this moment: present, or desire and wishes, or reminiscences?
What do I choose to see, what do I want to see now?
What is surprisingly coming out during this work in progress looks like a not linear story …
There is a toad that is not a prince, wind in the rooms and silent outside, wrinkles and hands, liscio romagnolo (traditional folk musik from my land)
Is a work in progress. It's a work made of a video and a performance on stage.
It's the first solo I'm creating for myself, and is the first video I'm editing!

Performance: Paola Ponti

Biography:
Choreography: I love explore, research, try to surprise myself, express through movement, never ending curiosity … never happened that I was moving without trying to know „why“, what there is behind, physical and not physical reason, but also never loosing this instinctive impuls to move that for me is the base on which everything is starting, rooting, and this strong love, passion for dance, that is my certainty

Without subtitles

„A dog is a beautiful animal“ he said, looked at the tree, jumped out and hold her hand. Later: the blueness of the blue while somewhere some music was played.“
Pekka Kortelainen dancing a dance.

Without subtitles is generated by the wish to compose different physical items, movements, in order to build a body of dance. In that sense I was neither interested in the history nor in the psychologie of the performer but in how the performer engages with the physical idea. The performer is constantly negotiating the form in such a way that the spectator witnesses some body that takes decisions. Which creates a series of moments similar to a a collection off blurry photographs.
The question that emerged out of the compositional choices was what is an image in a public space as the stage. Which kind of projection plain does one offer?
The moment when the performer standing with a laptop on stage and presenting a slide show is a moment of inversion: he throws the pictures back into the audience that was until now projecting pictures onto him.
The work thus created exists 'horizontally', without a hierarchy. The bodies/objects sit with their full weight in the dance/space in such a way as to create awareness of space for the audience, just as for example the music and the object that is producing it do.
The spectator is invited to enter this space, to bring his or her own associations and to make his or her own sense out of the actions on stage. The spectator is a collaborator.

On Holiday

We don't have much more to divulge, other than to say that we are on holiday.

The two of us get into the dance studio and then certain things happen. We decide to keep most of them, in the order they occurred, without thinking too much about it. The movement could serve suggest that we are on holiday. In a sense, we actually are.

Schenis Moves

Libretti of Schenis Moves are contemporary songs of the songwriter and singer Nika Zach and Electronic Artist Michl Hornek. Dancing interpretation will be focused by choreographer Alexa Zach on the meaning of the songs, which is fragmental in poetic and lyric atmosphere. The main intention of the composer was to put the personal sight of every day situations to a global and general state of mind and individual habits becoming non-personal.
Values of the common society loose their generous personal relation and the individual goals getting official and global.
There are originally twelve songs existing as the sort of written lyrics in combination to atmospheric interpretation through a mosaic of rhythms and melodies. Human complex relationships and the different and illuminated ways of living together are taking place as main themes of the chosen songs. The sensitive question of individuality considering human perception appears concerning hopes, wishes and fears. How can we generalise our feelings and experiences to a common sense?
These aspects are mainly important for the concept of dance material and design being always in relation and in dialogue with the concept of music and lyrics.
The work with text and counterpoint relationships between music, dance, text and formal ideas are switched on and off in different kind of ways. The integration of contrasts and unusual time-space-solutions will give the process an interesting view on interpretation of songs. Some times the lyrics are expressed as associative and spontaneous expression of movement. Skills and shapes, motives and sequences are appearing and departing in different varieties of time aspects. The consequent way from lyric to choreographic material will be done as well as the path back to the meaning of music and atmosphere. Formal technical dancing material mainly coming from everyday movement skills are included as well as more sophisticated material coming from each individual dancer. The special kind of aesthetic is not a question of stile but interpretation of all aspects of relation between music, lyric and individual interpretation of time. The work with narrative aspects will be included as well as the work with musical formal dimensions and possibilities.
Technical fundaments of the piece are contemporary elements of different stiles and individual language of the dancers as well as elements of Contact Improvisation and aspects of the Axis syllabus Motor Principals created by Frey Faust.

Schenis Moves is the co-production of Nika Zach-Michl Hornek/Producer for composed songs and the choreographer Alexandra Zach. Dancing interpretation will be focused on the meaning of the songs, which is fragmental in poetic and lyric atmosphere.
Values of the common society loose their generous personal relation and the individual goals getting official and global.

World without end

The main topic of it are two worlds we are all living in. One is our inner, dreamy world, the other is the reality we are living in. Connection between those two worlds was the main subject of our work . As human beings we are all the time moving between our imagination and the outside world, very often standing in opposition to imaginary one. This piece is also around the subject of femininity and it's different aspects. Each performer is creating a character telling different story about what we have found out about women and their nature.

Performance: Marta Kosieradzka, Ewa Wilisowska, Olga Swietlicka

Biography:
We met at Anton Bruckner Privatuniversitat in Linz and decided to work and develop our ideas together. Since one year we've been searching for new choreographic ideas, developing and experiment with different concepts. We found out that our different backgrounds and experience can bring interesting results together. ''World without end'' is our second choreography. We are still searching and trying to find new ways of expression in contemporary dance using many sources of inspiration such as f.ex video or photography.
