MAR SÉNOBUA DANZA : 

COSTA CONTEMPORÁNEA (MI EXPERIENCIA – UN BREVE PERO LINDO RECORDATORIO-)

Verano de 2012, septiembre. Me preparo para pasar cinco días de evasión y contacto con la danza, conociendo a gente nueva y trabajando de una forma muy diferente a la que hasta el momento había experimentado.

Allí, una recepción abierta: con presentaciones entre unos y otros, organización de los espacios de alojamiento compartido, preparación para empezar con las clases, y… clase al aire libre!, una estupenda sensación de libertad bailando al viento de Almería, muy agradable, y para mí inspirador.

Después de un tiempo de trabajo e intercambios, comida y descanso.

Por la tarde, excursión. Un pequeño viaje hacia un espacio abierto con elementos pintorescos e inspiradores (en mi caso fuimos el primer día a las ruinas de las minas de Rodalquilar – Cabo de Gata-) donde dejamos llevar el cuerpo comunicando ideas y expresiones personales y grupales, donde nos conocemos aún más por la expresión libre de nuestro cuerpo.

Otro espacio donde experimentamos con la danza fue La Isleta del Moro, una zona de puerto marítimo donde invadimos con danza el espacio y compartimos otras nuevas sensaciones.

En general, un intercambio muy productivo, con profesores con larga y nombrada experiencia, Guillermo Weickert y Roberto Oliván, que enseñaron conocimientos muy interesantes sobre danza y aportaron su propia personalidad artística y humana de una forma bella, bastante allegada y natural, muy de agradecer.

Por la noche, espectáculos. Arte, cultura, disfrute, pasión y sentimientos. Y después… cada uno lo que quisiera, aprovechando las mágicas noches del verano.

La última noche, jam session. Después de disfrutar de las actuaciones de otros profesionales del humor, la danza y la música, interactuamos también nosotros en el escenario, contando historias espontáneas mediante la danza improvisada.

Un gran equipo de profesionales y no profesionales de distintas artes y disciplinas se concentran y comparten momentos entrañables y motivadores dando rienda suelta a las múltiples capacidades que tenemos de comunicarnos de forma cooperativa y creativa.

Para mí, Costa Contemporánea es una bonita oportunidad de desplegarse en sentimientos e inspiración, danza, movimiento, amor, amistad y disfrute.

Intercambio, conocimiento y sorpresas…

Gracias por la iniciativa a su directora, Nerea Aguilar, que sigue ofreciendo este evento cada año.

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 GVA Sessions 2011 will take place in Geneva in July as an eight days seminar-workshop. It offers to the participants a hybrid collaborative format that will have two intersecting instances:

1. Perspectives and Frames International Seminar : July 16  - 17   2011
We will start a two day seminar over the weekend with an international guest group of choreographers, composers and interdisciplinary artists who will dissect and discuss with participants their recent work and practices, exploring the practical and conceptual challenges involved in the composition of choreography, music and sound.

Speakers :
Gilles Jobin (choreographer), Cristian Vogel (composer), Foofwa d'Imobilité (choreographer), Myriam Gurfink (choreographer), Cindy Van Acker (choreographer), Ariella Vidach (choreographer), Anna Huber (choreographer), Jennifer Bonn (composer), Kasper T Toeplitz (composer), Cristian Garcia, Perrine Valli (choreographer), Eric Linder (composer), Andre & Michel Decosterd (music & architecture), Adan Harper (composer, musicologist), Daniel Schorno (composer).

2. Collaborative Lab : July 18  - 23  2011
Monday begins six days of workshop at the Gilles Jobin Company studios where concepts and ideas will be explored and embodied by the GVA Sessions participants in different collaborative configurations. The first 5 days will start with a 90 minutes warm-up leaving the rest of the day for encounters, informal collaborations and self-organizing creative projects.

GVA Sessions 2011 culminates  eight days  of creative explorations with an informal showing session open to the public on Saturday July 23rd 2011.
Other stimulating activities have been scheduled  for two evenings during the week.

> LIVE CONNECTIONS - on April 21 till 24 - from 10.00am to 6.00pm / La Fonderie 

The Live Connections project stands as a platform for exchanging knowledge and experimenting the use of interfaces in audio and visual performances. The interface is the necessary link between gesture and music, or gesture and images, as musical instruments do but with the possibility to completely reinvent the form and action. The interface becomes a place of experimentation and a new art form, where everyone is free to invent new interactions between the gesture and the sonic or visual result (or even other kinds of results). As a central point, the practice questions the notion of performance and the meaning of the presence and action on stage. Ultimately the interface is not an end in itself but rather a means to stage a unique project of musical or audiovisual performance.

-    Interfaces realized with daily life objects put and manipulated on a table.

-    The body as interface: use of the Microsoft Kinect.

-    Interface made with various sensors, based on  I-CubeX

The workshop will be organized around two poles, one pole focusing on the creation of custom interfaces, and one pole focusing on the interaction with sound or images. The idea is then to connect things together, in order to make a work-in-progress concert on the evening of the last day. People interested in the performance rather than the implementation aspects, such as dancers for instance, will work in tandem with someone of the interface or sonic/visual interaction group, in order to follow the creative process.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own audio or visual content, in the form of patches for Max MSP / Jitter, Processing, Kyma, Ableton Live Sets, etc.

No. of participants: 16 maximum.

Price: 150.- including technical backline & brunch

 By reservation only!  inscription_workshop@electronfestival.ch

Captors? Interface? This conference aims to present the new lute-making instruments to an audience of the initiated… and the uninitiated.

With Atau Tanaka, who regularly plays with the help of multiple captors (movement, pressure, etc.) and who’ll be giving a concert with four Iphones on the same day at the White Box.
