The Industry Invites - 19 July 2012

Hamish MacPherson and Martine Painter:  Mtg Place

Hamish and Martine are dance artists with a shared love of numbers and simple stylised movement.

Meeting Place is a duet which plays with unfolding a visual representation of an algorithmic formula.

Mtg Place is a narrower version of the piece adapted to fit the Hotel Elephant Gallery for this evening.

Made with generous support from Jerwood Space.

After the Future: A Homage to Bifo (Live Performance)

After the Future: A Homage to Bifo is a performed talk in which a performer copies (without prior rehearsal) words and movements from a video which shows Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi explaining key concepts from his book After the Future (2011). The performance asks where meaning resides - in the body, in the voice, in gestures, in words, in spoken or written language, in movement language, in languages of the body. Furthermore, the performance questions how the act of copying opens up space for multiple interpretation, association and agency for an audience, and how this impacts on the way meaning is made and un-made in performance.

Jonathan Burrows & Ramsay Burt present 'New dance and somatics'

A panel discussion curated by choreographer Jonathan Burrows and academic Ramsay Burt, new dance and somatics with guest panelists Siobhan Davies, Miranda Tufnell and Antje Hildebrandt.

Chisenhale Dance Space       
Wednesday 20th June 6.30-8.30pm

Contact and exchange of artists and teachers between the US and UK during the 1970s and 1980s led to explorations by British-based dance artists of new ways of moving, particularly ones that encouraged a focus on sensitivity to somatic processes. These included (but were not restricted to) contact improvisation, release-based methods of movement exploration, body mind centering, the Alexander technique, Tai Chi, and Aikido. This talk, the last of three at different London venues during June, will start with a historical introduction by Ramsay Burt, from De Montfort University, who will contextualise British new dance and the developing interest in these somatic practices during the period. It will be followed by a roundtable discussion chaired by choreographer Jonathan Burrows which will consider the different ways in which these explorations informed the work of British-based dancers and their practices. The recently published collection ‘The Body Eclectic’ considers ways in which professional dancers in the US have embraced an eclectic diversity of different approaches to their training. To what extent and in what ways was this also happening in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s, and if so what if anything is different about the way the approaches are being explored by British-based dancers today?

This is the last of three talks in this series will take place at Siobhan Davies Studios on 1st June, and Lillian Baylis theatre, Sadler’s Wells on June 7th, each of which will feature different guest speakers and focus on a different aspect of British New Dance.

Please contact the Chisenhale Dance Space office team on 02089816617 to book your place. More information on all three talks can be found here: www.new-dance-events.org.uk
