ORDINARY DEPARTURES

March 23rd, 2011
28.03.11-02.04.11
Ordinary Departures: between everyday life and artistic practice.

Frascati WG/Studio Ite Dansmakers /Dansmakers PAL Gebouw

Amsterdam

Ordinary Departures:
Choreographers Giulia Mureddu and Keren Levi with musician Tom Parkinson reframe the everyday in their work, and the work finds itself out of a million encounters –with their family, friends, collaborators, ideas, technologies, forms and the work of others. Some of these departures are taken back out of the theatre and presented here.
The three will frame their performances of Prossimo and Envelopes with a series of events in and around the theatre. These include lectures, installations, workshops and concerts and will open up the concern, processes and inspirations that make up their choreographic practice.

Ordinary Departures is an initiative of Giulia Mureddu/ Stichting Broccoli, Keren Levi and Tom Parkinson/Stichting Neverlike. Levi and Mureddu are both alumni of the newly relaunched Dansmakers Amsterdam who support the project along with Frascati and Grand Theatre, Groningen.

David Mulder

Through social media millions of people report all their everyday minutiae. Turf (Dutch for running total) is a magnification of that trend. Mulder has set the goal for the year 2011 to count all his daily actions.

Workshops

Movement research (workshop)
Bruno Listopad

Mo 28 march, tu29 march, we 30 march 16-19u
Ite Boerma Studio Dansmakers
€ 25 1 day; €40 2 days; €60 3 days – incl. voucher for 1 Ordinary Departure performance

With this workshop the participants will have the opportunity to research methods that permit to intensify their performance by undergoing a precarious state characteristic of a body that is “strange to itself”. They will process their idiom through the stuttering of irregular repetitions, blocks and disfiguring textures. This will be achieved through an associative, emphatic and binary practice that questions the limits of the body and explores the relationship between the “self” and the “other, the intuition and control, the chaos and order.

Choreographer, performance-maker, artistic adviser and teacher Bruno Listopad has a diverse body of work which has won him awards and commissions throughout Europe. www.disjointedarts.com
