GVA SESSIONS 2011 // CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

GVA Sessions 2011 Dialog: Sound and Movement July 16th - 23rd 2011

GVA Sessions is an interdisciplinary research and international exchange platform organized by the Gilles Jobin Company, geared to respond to the ever changing artistic environment of the performing arts, primarily contemporary dance, music and related creative technologies.

The GVA Sessions 2011 we will be focusing on exploring one of the longest established collaborative partnerships in the performing arts: that between choreographer and composer, choreography and music. This year, it will offer a mixed format providing a collaborative space for different types and levels of knowledge, artists research and production.

Since 2007, the GVA Sessions have led knowledge exchange gatherings inviting international creative arts practitioners to Geneva (Switzerland) with the goal to share their artistic inquiry, think  and create together, in an informal collaborative yet rigorous setting.
GVA Sessions is offered to the selected participants through a grant. More infomation on the website of the Cie Gilles Jobin.

The image’s role in dance is multifarious. It is a wellspring for work,inspiration and references; it is a powerful tool for writing, memory and props.The ex.e.r.ce09/10 program will pursue three lines of research, exploring how dance has impacted the imageand how the image has impacted dance from a historical, technical, artistic and aestheticviewpoint.
