Arild Erikstad President of the IMZ Norwegian Broadcasting Corp.

The IMZ is a global association for all those involved in any aspect of audiovisual music and dance. All major public broadcasters are members, and all of them try to tell the story of dance and music, although dance films on television are more and more difficult to schedule. I hope this year’s competition will help to enlarge the dance film community and the audience of this beautiful art form.

In 2013, dance screen celebrates its 25th anniversary and its premiere outside of Europe.

Being part of the professional world of dance, film, music and television, we believe in the value of high quality in art; at the same time, we invest a lot of effort to reach new audiences and to help them to understand and explore the “language” of this art form. I hope our dance screen 2013 competition will contribute to both the quality and variety of dance films.

It is a pleasure and an honour for us that this 13th edition of dance screen, the international dance film and video competition, is hosted and coproduced by the San Francisco Dance Film Festival. And we are more than happy that the San Francisco Ballet and the San Francisco Film Society are joining us as co-presenters for this international celebration of dance on camera.

Special thanks go to our partners, the San Francisco Dance Film Festival and its team, the San Francisco Ballet and the San Francisco Film Society, the jury members, the panellists, the funders of the festival as well as to all filmmakers and all participants of dance screen 2013 with San Francisco Dance Film Festival.

The IMZ – International Music + Media Centre founded dance screen in 1988. It was established to create a dialogue between filmmakers, dance and video artists, distributors and broadcasters and to bring audiences in touch with dance from all over the world. IMZ is looking forward to teaming up with San Francisco Dance Film Festival, and I hope our dance screen will contribute to further enhancing the status of the festival and bring a larger number of international participants to the screenings and the competition.

Enjoy –

In my view, dance is the ideal art format on television. First of all, it is emotions and storytelling without the limitations of words, it is pure visual art, and it is a way of presenting all kinds of music, old and new, to a large audience.

Judy Flannery Managing Director San Francisco Dance Film Festival

We are thrilled to welcome you to San Francisco for the first US presentation of IMZ’s dance screen, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. It is an enormous honor for our young organization to welcome filmmakers and broadcasters from around the world to participate in this celebration of dance on camera. With the support of our local partners San Francisco Ballet, San Francisco Film Society, the Museum of Performance + Design, and with the help of numerous Bay Area dance companies, schools, arts presenters, foundations, and individuals, our festival has taken an enormous leap forward for this exciting collaborative venture.

Greta Schoenberg Executive Director San Francisco Dance Film Festival

The very nature of creating a dance film is a collaborative process involving artists and technicians from different disciplines. The sources of inspiration to create the wonderful films that are part of this competition are as varied and unique as the films themselves, but at the heart of each film is dance. Regardless of country, culture or customs, the universal language of dance, captured by filmmakers, is shared here to amuse, provoke or inspire. We are grateful to all 289 filmmakers and producers who submitted works and hope you will enjoy the 69 films selected from around the world to be in competition for the dance screen awards.

Thank you for joining us and for being ambassadors of dance. We are most appreciative of the leadership and support IMZ’s dance screen has given to the international dance and film communities to help promote and celebrate this growing art form. This opportunity to collaborate with dance screen provides another example of how local artists and participants can benefit from global partnerships.

It is the IMZ’s intention to make the performing arts available to a wider audience around the globe and help arts programmes occupy their rightful place in the media. Thus, the professional umbrella organisation and networking platform acts as an interface between leading international producers, distributors, broadcasters of cultural programmes, opera houses, educational institutions and record labels focusing on classical, contemporary and world music, and jazz, as well as classical and contemporary dance.

San Francisco Dance Film Festival

San Francisco Film Society

San Francisco Dance Film Festival has grown exponentially since its founding four years ago. Its mission is not only to promote and celebrate the best dance films from around the world, but to also encourage and assist Bay Area filmmakers in the creation and distribution of dance films. The non-profit arts organization includes educational outreach within its annual programming, with free screenings at the public library and dance filmmaking workshops for students and professionals held in partnership with organizations such as UC Berkeley, Alonzo King LINES Dance Center, ODC and the Ninth Street Independent Film Center.

The San Francisco Film Society (SFFS) is a world-class institution dedicated to elevating the artistic quality and social impact of film, providing support and education for the global film community, and creating memorable programming for its audiences. SFFS annually presents more than 300 films and reaches 15,000 students through its education programme, while disbursing millions of dollars to deserving filmmakers.

Co-Laboratory SFDFF will also present the first Co-Laboratory project, a unique collaboration between three choreographers and filmmakers who will create three short dance films one week before the Festival. Funded in part by The Kenneth Rainin Foundation and in partnership with the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, the three films will be premiered on the closing night of the Festival. SFDFF intends to have the Co-Laboratory be an annual event to inspire and support local artists of different disciplines to collaboratively create dance films for local and global audiences.

Carina Ari Foundations

Dance on screen makes the art of dance available to a wide audience. Moreover, film and video, apart from dance notations, constitute the most important documentation medium for the art form. The movements are preserved together with music and scenography. Extremely valuable for a deeper knowledge of dance creation are the choreographers’ own comments in interviews or introductions to their productions. The contribution from Carina Ari Foundations to dance screen 2013 with San Francisco Dance Film Festival aims to jointly support and foster the dance and media world.

Museum of Performance + Design

The Museum of Performance + Design is the only independent institution in the country dedicated exclusively to the performing arts and theatrical design. Founded more than 60 years ago by Russell Hartley – a San Francisco Ballet dancer and costume designer – the Museum’s mission is to preserve the history of the performing arts in the Bay Area and promote their live and theatrical qualities. The Museum of Performance + Design archives, collects and interprets materials, information and experiences that are locally connected and broadly relevant. By providing dynamic opportunities to diverse audiences, it supports and cultivates engagement, participation and innovation in the performing arts.

Austrian Consulate General in Los Angeles As America’s oldest professional ballet company, San Francisco Ballet has enjoyed a long and rich tradition of artistic “firsts” since its founding in 1933, including performing the first American productions of “Swan Lake” and “Nutcracker”, as well as the first 20th-century American “Coppélia”. San Francisco Ballet is one of the three largest ballet companies in the USA and currently presents more than 100 performances annually – locally, nationally, and internationally. Under the direction of Helgi Tomasson for more than two decades, the company has achieved an international reputation as one of the preeminent ballet companies in the world.

Flatiron flashmobesque: this large scale site-specific performance involved 42 dancers. Based on the historical legend which coined the term "23 Skidoo". It is said that the ship-like shape of the Flatiron building carved a windy slice in the New York Skyline which would blow women’s dresses up in the early 1900's, exposing seldom seen legs and causing men to loiter and watch. Local authorities would say "23 Skidoo" to the men, which meant they better stop their gazing and get out while the getting was good. This project is at the heart of site-specific dance, where an architectural structure informs a narrative, a movement and a phenomenon. In celebration of the 110th anniversary of the building, the spectacle took place on 21 June 2012 outside of New York City’s Flatiron Building.

Titles in bold: films selected for screening at dance screen 2013 with SFDFF festival 9

| Live Performance Relay

First performed in 2005, "Caligula" is Étoile Dancer Nicolas Le Riche’s first choreography for the Paris Opera Ballet. Intrigued by the complex and troubling personality of the Roman emperor, the choreographer evokes the torments of a frail man capable of loving the moon and idolizing his horse, a man impassioned by theatre and constantly playing a role himself.

003

C(H)ŒURS

Prokofiev’s timeless ballet "Cinderella" is presented in a compelling new choreography by British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. Jeff Tudor's film was made for Dutch Television and production company 3 Minutes West, and presents the world premiere staging of the ballet in Amsterdam by Het Nationale Ballet, who commissioned this major new work in partnership with the San Francisco Ballet.

005

Coppélia 2011

A musical theatre by Alain Platel. For years, the tension between the group and the individual has been the central theme in Platel’s performances. In C(H)ŒURS he examines – together with his dancers and the Teatro Real choir – how "dangerously beautiful" a group can be. What is the relation between the progressive 19th-century nationalism of Verdi and Wagner and the increasing current tendency of nations to cut themselves off? Platel questions the emotions originated by the assemblage of individuals and groups, he reflects about the dynamic of collective movements and about the public and the individual dimensions.

004

Cinderella

In this version created in 1996, Patrice Bart brings back the literary origins, the fantastic tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann and insists on the depth of its characters. In the ballet, a disturbing and mysterious atmosphere unfolds... With the Étoiles Dorothée Gilbert, Mathias Heymann, José Martinez, Fabrice Bourgeois and the Paris Opera Ballet.

Live Performance Relay |

A singular project is staged at the Salzburg Festival with the famous Felsenreitschule as a backdrop: for the first time the renowned Hagen Quartett appears at the festival accompanied by a dance company. The Swiss grand master of dance, Heinz Spoerli, presents three works he choreographed for his Zurich Ballet set to three of the great works of the quartet literature: Leoš Janáček’s String Quartet "Intimate Letters", Antonín Dvořák’s "American Quartet" and Franz Schubert’s String Quartet "Death and the Maiden".

“The Knight of the Sad Face” and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, are mixed up in the wild love affairs of the stunning Kitri and the seductive Basilio in a richly colourful, humorous and virtuoso ballet. Marius Petipa’s "Don Quixote" premiered in Moscow in 1869 with music by Ludwig Minkus and met with resounding success from the start. The novelty lay within its break from the supernatural universe of romantic ballet. Written as if it were a play for the theatre, the work had realistic heroes and a solidly structured plot and scenes. The libretto and the choreography were handed down without interruption in Russia, but Petipa’s version remained unknown in the west for a long time. In 1981, Rudolf Nureyev introduced his own version of the work into the Paris Opera’s repertoire.

"Dear Pina" was an evening-length, site-specific dance/theatre tribute to Pina Bausch. This swirling opus of relationships in motion was performed by an ensemble of 28 Vermont dancers and one tall dignified couple; created for and set in the vast dirt floor of the 1890 Breeding Barn at Shelburne Farms in Vermont. Performances ran through 25 – 30 June 2012; to sold-out houses each night. "I've never experienced dance in so many layers of my being. I witnessed the whole human condition, joy and aggravation, brutality and tenderness, up close and deeply personal. That connection was why I wanted to see it over and over again."

Martin Schläpfer’s take on „Ein Deutsches Requiem“ was a big surpise as well as a great success. In his work he has combined topics like momentariness and death, sorrow, solace and confidence to a moving and brilliantly staffed dance piece. All three ensembles of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein – ballet, orchestra, choir and soloists (photo: Marlúcia do Amaral, Remus Sucheanã) are part of this production conducted by musical director Axel Kober. Press and audience were astonished likewise by this extraordinary total work of art.

Folie À Deux

| Live Performance Relay

la Source

"Folie à Deux" is an exploration into the interior landscapes of two people whose acts of intimacy are the fantasy that thinly veils a greater discord. "Folie à Deux" (a French term that literally translates as "a madness shared by two.”) is a psychiatric syndrome in which symptoms of a delusional belief are transmitted from one individual to another.

The Persia of legend and fantasy provides the backdrop for the thwarted loves of the hunter Djemil, the beautiful Nouredda and the spirit of the spring, Naila. For his first creation for the Paris Opera Ballet, Étoile dancer Jean-Guillaume Bart comes to grips with this libretto and breathes new life into a long neglected work from the repertoire. The light and colourful score was a joint effort from Ludwig Minkus and Léo Delibes in what was their first ballet composition. The libretto draws on Wagnerian romanticism, orientalism and Shakespearean influences and contrasts the real world with the realms of elves, nymphs and ethereal beings. This wonderfully poetic dance tale of astounding virtuosity is further enhanced by Christian Lacroix’s flamboyant costumes.

Paul Taylor is the last living member of the pantheon that created America’s indigenous art of modern dance. At an age when most artists’ best work is behind them, Paul Taylor continues to win acclaim for the vibrancy, relevance and power of his recent dances as well as his classics. Recorded during the Taylor Company’s 2012 performances at the Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris, Great Performances presents two of Taylor’s enduring masterworks. "Brandenburgs", first performed in 1988 to music from Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos No. 3 and 6; and his 2008 ballet "Beloved Renegade" set to music of Francis Poulenc. On "Brandenburgs", Mary Clarke from the Manchester Guardian wrote: “Beauty is the only word for "Brandenburgs"… [which] celebrates the good things in life. Such a radiant, seamless flow of invention that the choreography seems an entirely natural way of moving to this music.”

Live Performance Relay | Jean-Christophe Maillot presents us with his personal vision of "Swan Lake". It is a vast challenge for any choreographer to tackle this legendary piece which is so well-known throughout the world. For this project which has been dear to his heart for ten years, the choreographer wanted to work with the writer Jean Rouaud, 1990 Prix Goncourt winner, to bring a new drama to this pillar of the classic repertoire. Together they have adapted the timeless story of Siegfried and Odette so that this narrative resonates with our own questioning. The visual artist Ernest PignonErnest, a long-time associate of Jean-Christophe Maillot, has designed the scenery for this "Lac" and Philippe Guillotel has been responsible for creating the costumes. Tchaikovsky’s score is performed by the MonteCarlo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nicolas Brochot.

le Rendez-vous 2010

“Les Enfants du paradis”, drawing on Jacques Prévert’s scenario for the French classic movie by Marcel Carné, is Étoile dancer José Martinez’s first major ballet for the Paris Opera Ballet. In a disused cinema studio, the actor who played the mime Baptiste in the film goes back over his memories. The choreography brings back to life the Paris of the first half of the 19th century, its performers, its theatres and its cabarets. To an original score by Marc-Olivier Dupin, the choreography alternates large ensembles with the intimacy of the lovers’ pas de deux.

lol (lots of love)

"Le Rendez-vous" is based on a poem by Jacques Prévert. It is a fascinating work which tells the story of a young man outside a dance-hall who reads his horoscope predicting his imminent death. Accosted in a sombre alley by a hunchback who threatens him with an open razor, the youth eludes his aggressor by telling him he has a rendez-vous with the most beautiful girl in the world. But in escaping from one, he falls under the spell of the other, and destiny is fulfilled when she slits his throat.

les enfants Du Paradis

Against a video wall of screen-gazing individuals, six cyber souls stylishly nail the language of life online in their quest for romance. Talking and dancing at speed they make straight-to-the-audience confessions and dance the physical equivalent of poking and tweeting. In Protein’s awardwinning show, these ingredients conjure up a razor-sharp commentary on our Facebook society and an affecting rendering of human need.

It is a performance in which images, ideas and thoughts run together without needing narration, without a pause and without any chance to applaud in between. Heinz Spoerli is concerned above all with the conditions and prerequisites of profound faith – which is frequently accompanied by rejection, ostracism, insecurity and isolation, but "Heinz Spoerli is a magician, who uses sleight of hand to make us forget theoretical tedium. And so we experience 70 astonishing minutes in which dance and music fuse to a degree which is to be found only in Zurich, since the death of Uwe Scholz" (Andrea Kachelrieß, Stuttgarter Nachrichten). The musical point of departure is Bach’s “Magnificat”, which is confronted with other works by the composer such as the third Brandenburg Concerto, the Solo Sonata for Violin in G minor or the aria, “Ich habe genug”.

Twelve dancers on twelve serially arranged stations, each consisting of a soundplate and an automatic piano. The dancers are not dancing to recorded music but create music themselves with their steps, which are being translated by computer and transmitted onto the piano keys. This musical output is then re-interpreted by the dancers within a feedback network score. This interdisciplinary work of art functions as a metamachine, whose rules produce a visual piece of music and a kinaesthetic body of sound. Additionally to the performance recording, the DVD includes a documentary about the making of “Maschinenhalle #1”.

"The Nutcracker", Tchaikovsky’s eternal classic, in the choreography by Vasily Vainonen, is a colorful and sensuous dance production: dance in the highest perfection and mastery of modern technology. This successful production is recorded exclusively for EuroArts Music as a 3D spectacle. The film creates spectacular images of this great ballet production for the viewer. The innovative 3D technology allows an entirely new perspective; every moviegoer can experience the ballet from the front row right on the stage. Under the direction of Andreas Morell, this historically unique "Nutcracker" promises to be a breathtaking experience.

Now firmly crowned as a modern-day classic, this iconic production is perhaps best-known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble. Matthew Bourne blends dance, humour and spectacle with extravagant, award-winning designs by Lez Brotherston, to create a provocative and powerful "Swan Lake" for our times. Collecting over 30 international theatre awards including three Tonys, "Swan Lake" has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement on the international stage. It has become the longest running ballet in the West End and on Broadway and enjoyed four hugely successful tours in the UK and thrilled audiences all over the world.

notre-Dame De Paris

Live Performance Relay |

Esmeralda, Quasimodo, Frollo and Phoebus: four great characters around whom a highly dramatic, passionate story revolves. The Corps de Ballet underscores the dynamics almost like an ancient choir. And in the background is the silent but incumbent presence of the cathedral, both witness and actress in this drama. "Notre-Dame de Paris", inspired by Victor Hugo’s novel, with music by Maurice Jarre, sets by René Allio and the renowned costumes of Yves Saint-Laurent, returns to La Scala after more than ten years since its last performances. Once again, it will be celebrating Roland Petit and his artistic vein, his ability to evoke and synthesize in bringing the essential cores of the story to light. And the triumph of his vision of the performance as a total creation: dance, sets, costumes, music, theatricality.

022

o Composite 2012

Invited in 2004, Trisha Brown contrived "O złozony"/"O composite" to an original score by Laurie Anderson. Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz’s verses inspired the choreographer to develop a language where the complexity of postmodern dance blends with classical writing in a totally new alchemy. The starlit sky, envisioned by the scenographer Vija Celmins, opens up the dance to infinity...

023

Push

"Push" brings into play the qualities Maliphant’s work is famous for – hypnotic beauty and serene strength – while giving a spectacular showcase for Sylvie Guillem’s unique gifts. Rolling, cascading, their bodies in freefall or pushing energy between them, the two dancers are captured by the intimacy of their richly physical language.

Kenneth MacMillan’s dramatic choreographic realisation of the Shakespeare tragedy – by way of Prokofiev's classic score – was presented as a live relay in the Royal Opera House’s 2012-13 worldwide cinema season, and played to packed houses. Directed for cinema by Ross MacGibbon, this latest film of the MacMillan staging features two of the Royal Ballet’s top principals, Lauren Cuthbertson and Federico Bonelli.

Romeo And Juliet 2012

| Live Performance Relay

027

The legend of the martyred lovers of Verona, immortalised by Shakespeare in the 16th century, is revisited for the Paris Opera Ballet by one of the key figures of contemporary dance, Sasha Waltz. Won over by the powerfully sombre romanticism of Berlioz’s dramatic symphony, the choreographer draws inspiration from the score to combine music, song and dance on the stage. She distances herself from all forms of narration to evoke the emotion inherent in this tragic love story. The ballet becomes timeless and explores the relationship between love and death, and the obstacles which, even today, continue to separate those who love each other. Nimble, elegant gestures accompany the fire and passion of the young lovers to their final resting place. With Aurélie Dupont (Juliette), Hervé Moreau (Roméo), Nicolas Paul (Père Laurence ).

Scheherazade

Alonzo King’s "Scheherazade" is a re-envisioning of the ancient collection of Persian, Sanskrit, and Arabic stories of 1001 Nights. The exquisite dancers of the LINES Ballet present a vision of the transformative potential these stories possess: the way that we are offered a chance to listen to a voice that can change our lives, the power of art to illuminate all the chambers of our hearts. The new score by tabla master Zakir Hussain re-interprets the original music by Rimsky-Korsakov, incorporating traditional Persian as well as Western instruments.

028

Shift

“The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy by William Shakespeare concerning two young "star cross'd lovers" and the role played by their tragic suicides in ending a long running family feud. It is one of the most famous of Shakespeare's plays, one of his earliest theatrical triumphs, and is thought to be the most archetypal love story in the history of Western culture. Several ballet adaptations of the story have been made, the first written in the 18th century. The best known feature music by Sergei Prokofiev, and a variety of choreographers have used this music. The first version featuring Prokofiev’s music was performed in 1938.

Live Performance Relay | "Shift" uses light and shadow in ingenious ways and what at first seems to be a solo becomes a ghost duet, a trio, then a quartet: a conversation between Maliphant and the extraordinary lighting of his long-time collaborator Michael Hulls on the nature of perception and reality. The sinewy yoga-inspired choreography constantly shifts but within its elastic design lies a strong centre. It's deviously clever and desperately difficult to pull off, but Maliphant makes short, light work of it.

"Solo" was created for Sylvie Guillem. Accompanied by the music of the Spanish guitarist Carlos Montoya, "Solo" is a celebration of Guillem’s extraordinary ballet technique. She twists, stretches, extends and poses, and her simple presence makes the dance compelling and filled with the passion and spirit of flamenco.

"Sous Apparence" by Marie-Agnès Gillot is one of the highlights in the contemporary dance calendar for the 2012-2013 season. Marie-Agnès Gillot, who has already a few works to her credit, is at last creating a work for the Paris Opera Ballet.

| Live Performance Relay

In "The Little Mermaid", Hamburg Ballet Director and Chief Choreographer John Neumeier blends dance, dramatic stroytelling and spectacle into a stunning interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fable. It demands the heights of artistry from the dancers (photo: Yuan Yuan Tan & Lloyd Riggins), who must venture into deeply emotional terrain in order to convey the ballet’s full message. Neumeier elevates a fantasy into a sophisticated portrayal of psychological transformation and the resilience of the spirit, human or otherwise. Featuring an evocative score by Lera Auerbach, this heart-wrenching story of sacrifice and unrequited love comes to life against dazzling scenic, costume and lighting designs.

033

The nutcracker

The creator and artistic director of the Baltic Dance Theatre, Izadora Weiss, is a choreographer who, with her previous productions, has proven the skill of creating grand, moving spectacles. "The message of this spectacle is connected with the common fight of the democratic structures of the relations between men and women", Izadora Weiss says: "We keep hearing declarations about the equality of rights and respect for the weaker sex and yet we keep seeing countless acts of violence and of contempt resulting from common consent, traditions and cultivating wrong values. Our ‘Rite of Spring’ is a vehement protest against such status quo."

035

The Trout Quintet

A new production of Rudolf Nureyev’s staging of Tchaikovsky’s classic at the Wiener Staatsoper with a fin-de-siècle set. "The Nutcracker" is probably the most frequently performed work of ballet literature, and for generations of visitors it has become a key experience. In this production, Nureyev’s special take on "The Nutcracker" can be seen on the stage of the Vienna State Opera for the very first time. Created in 1967 by Rudolf Nureyev, this version is a solitaire in the performance history of the Tchaikovsky classic, as it focuses on the psychological aspects of reality and dream; material suggested in the tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann.

034

The Rite of Spring

The story of „Forellenquintett“ (“Trout Quintet”) is situated in a magic forest reminding of Shakespeare’s „A Midsummer Night's Dream“. A mazy place where strange figures meet: lovers and friends, elves and goblins and, of course, the fisherman and his prey, the dazzling trout (photo: Ann-Kathrin Adam, Alexandre Simões). „Forellenquintett“ is a playful and humoristic dance to the sounds of Schubert’s music in the atmosphere of a fairy tale and the joyful exuberance of a Viennese wine tavern. Never before, Suisse choreographer Martin Schläpfer presented a work that is so light and cheerful.

Rapt Productions captures the essence of RAWdance’s “Two by 24: Love on Loop” in this short film edited from the original eight-hour performance. Using San Francisco’s City Hall as its backdrop, RAWdance created the time-based work for 24 dancers in honor of love and equality.

"Triangle of the Squinches" is set to a commissioned score by legendary musician Mickey Hart and features an innovative kinetic set by cuttingedge architect Christopher Haas. Alonzo King explores the inner and outer space of the body: how do we strive to touch something infinite with our material forms? What is the resonance between the bodies we inhabit and the forms we create?

Un Jour ou Deux 2012

Trapped inside a tiny box of light, Sylvie Guillem raises her arms and slowly starts to push against imaginary boundaries. Repeating the phrases with increasing intensity she compels us with the mesmerising allure of her torso, back and arms, finally becoming like a whirling dervish, hands and feet moving in a blur of light and movement.

Created for the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet, "Un jour ou deux" was the first work Merce Cunningham ever composed for a company other than his own. To pay tribute to this great artist and to his fellow traveller John Cage, the centenary of whose birth was celebrated in 2012, the work has been revived with a new generation of dancers directed by some of Cunningham’s close collaborators.

A highly unusual piece featuring contemporary circus in UK cathedrals. UK vocal group I Fagiolini collaborate with Australian company Circa in a new piece specially created for cathedrals which fuses Circa’s exhilarating brand of contemporary circus with the exquisite sound of I Fagiolini’s singing. "How Like An Angel" celebrates the beauty and grandeur of three stunning English cathedrals. Polyphonic Films presents a response to the show in film, capturing the essence of this ground-breaking collaboration. The film was commissioned as part of The Space, a collaboration between Arts Council England and the BBC.

Recycling Medea

"Set In Motion" is a humorous, grotesque cinematic chain reaction which choreographs the varied relations between the human body and furniture. In various tableaux vivants a furniture store is converted into a site of unleashed kinetics. Seven performers adapt to chairs, tables, sofas etc. Whilst the tension between stasis and movement grows, actions on their part trigger reactions on the side of the material, and this, in turn, triggers a chain reaction which blurs the boundaries between bodies and things.

This balletic retelling of a mother murdering her two kids, choreographed by Renato Zanella, is based on Euripides’ play and features music by Mikis Theodorakis. Script, sound and dance join forces in a powerful film that reflects the desperation of a society that spent all of yesterday turning its children into those who make up today’s lost generation. The film begins with the first bars of Theodorakis’ music and ends with the final notes of his work, framing the occasional spoken word. Six solo dancers – among them the extraordinary Maria Kousouni as Medea – appear in expressive close-ups, lyrical dance scenes, revelatory moments in rehearsals; a blend of traditional ballet and modern expressionist dance, interlaced with images of masked teenagers rebelling and the heavily armoured, incensed police. Protagonists from a different, merciless realm that has taken over our everyday reality.

Featuring extracts from many of his biggest hits in a journey through a series of magical worlds where stories are told through dance.

Barely

Graceful structures of wood stand in a vast landscape. Bodies of dead fish hang on the trestles and waver in the wind. The atmosphere is heavy, like harsh wind under water. On the surface of the water, where the fish used to swim alive and free, a woman tastes the air that is unknown to her. Now she has become like a fish on dry land, in a place where she cannot thrive. Her neck and collarbone move roughly with each breath. She breathes in but loses her breath simultaneously; she struggles while the sunlight flares on her scaled skin.

Inspired by the color black, a peaceful dance filled with a journey of water (blue paint) across the land of Estonia, pushing its way through the black soil. The dancer represents the god of the earth guiding the direction of the water through his dance.

Drawing Blank

| Screen Choreography – Programmes not longer than 5 minutes

"Drawing Blank" is a dream-like story of impermanence told through dance and stop-motion painting. The main character, performed by dancer and choreographer Emily Honegger, discovers a magical property inside a discarded ink sketch. A miniature dance partner comes to life and inspires movement in the paper and ink world around her.

The demolition of the University of Salzburg is documented by performative archeology as an "invisible tale". "Frutiger" does not deal with Munich 1972, nor with the mideast conflict. It doesn’t care about the finetuned oscillating circuit of suicide and attention. "Frutiger" is about the power and the impotence of signs and shows images in mixed technique. 30% demolition, 30% contemporary dance, 30% MEL and admixtures of Olympia 1972 (5%) as well as Salzburg’s student movement (5%).

The film is about the triumph of feelings: once renunciation and loss have been accepted, after the heartbreaking pain, under an appeasing rain filling us with light, a new understanding arises, a new vision. A piece developing from the first impulse: searching for the pure white. The inspiration comes from the book “The elegance of the hedgehog” and the title is a dedication to the author Muriel Barbery. The music, recorded as a free improvisation, is a spoken word composition created and interpreted by the performer.

065

Frutiger

Several hundred million tons of exploitable ore, a zen-garden with incredible dimensions, form the stage for concerted action by mining machines and a handful of dancers from lawine torrèn. The crystal system of siderite serves as a reference point for the choreography's spatial structure. the waste rock that is separated from the siderite is called "gangart". The dancers seem too small besides the giant mining machines. By using "viewpoints" lawine torrèn integrate this "wrong" feeling of space into a subtle network of mountain, mining equipment and contemporary dance. Inspiration: Cage in an over-dimensional ryoanji-garden.

069 Indestructible object Duration 1' 05'' | Production Year 2012 | Recorded Roma, 29.09.2012 | Musical Style Classical music | Dance Style Contemporary dance | Piece Un minuto | Source video/audio HD/Stereo Inspired by one of the most famous assemblages of Man Ray: "Objet indestructible." The metronome, with accelerando pressure, magnetizes the attention of the dancer, who begins to dance by following the lines with more and more compulsion. The choreography takes on the appearance of an obsessive struggle that will prevail over the immortality of the metronome.

And there she was. Tossed in a pile of artificial body parts. Speechless from the jolt. Blinded by the plastic. Which arm is hers? What way is up? Will she ever find her way out? Joy Toy!

le Saut Infini

"The Idea was to let the audience listen to the sound of the muscle inside of the body when it moves. We wanted to create a special atmosphere for it, so we build the set out of paper, and recorded all the sound effects with the noise of paper." Patrick Jurányi

"Le Saut Infini" is inspired by choreographer Emery LeCrone’s earlier work "With Thoughtful Lightness", which premiered in the Guggenheim Museum’s Works & Process series in October 2011. Featuring New York City Ballet dancers Russell Janzen and Megan LeCrone, "Le Saut Infini" explores the dancers’ perception of space and time while capturing the physical, intimate moments between them.

lost Ambulation

The “MeTube” project was conceived by director Daniel Moshel (Moshel Film). Given August Schram’s fondness for oscillating between singing, art and new media, the film expert and the opera singer have merged their efforts. The result: a fusion of new media, classical opera singing interpreted in a modern manner and artistic, ingenious self-promotion laced with a dose of self-mockery. No less than George Bizet’s Habanera from "Carmen" has been reinterpreted for “MeTube” and enhanced with electronic sounds.

077

Monk: Reloaded

"Lost Ambulation" personifies restriction from within and without. A solitary dancer moves forward but does not progress or escape the confines of her unyielding environment. Location and the shift of the frame parallel her rigid physical and mental state; moments of transient beauty pass without awareness.

076

MeTube: August Sings Carmen Habanera

The Physical TV Company’s latest dance film, “Monk: Reloaded”, a collaboration between Australian director/choreographer/performer Richard James Allen and German light/sound/sculpture interactive installation artist Chris Ziegler, creates an unexpected cinematic experience of living in the moment. A solitary, hesitant figure grows bold then frenetic searching for steady glow and melodic resolution in a chiaroscuro hanging glass forest that responds with light and song to gesture and motion. Reframing “The Prayer of Saint Francis” using real time interactive installation technology, “Monk: Reloaded” reboots spirituality for the new media age.

What to do with the fading traces, without which I am less me? Be stronger? Hold them tight? To unite myself with them so that I am not left behind? Transform them or change myself and continue to dwell in the possibility of the next moment which could make me complete again?

079

Multiple exposures

The story of Narcissus describes contemporary society better than any other myth. In Michele Merola’s choreography it has the features, colours and reflections of a black fable. Narcissus today is none other than the mirror, pitiless and ironic, of a “liquid society” – as Zygmunt Bauman calls it – in which people are forever seeking new forms, driven by a horror of decline, rushing headlong towards a happiness as unreachable as it is obsessively pursued.

notonlylonelybodies

An odyssey in motion using lighting, color, perspective and contrast, "Multiple Exposures" is a series of moments captured in time. But which time? The past? The present? The future? Is this the story of a young woman looking forward to the future with hope or an older woman looking back on the past with regret? We examine the superimposition of one’s dreams and one’s memories, and how they may, or may not, overlap in life.

An intimate view of the human body observed from an unusual perspective. The camera’s eye brushes gently against the skin, discovering amazing fragments that contain a surprising humanity. At first, the great variety of details which create our bodies generate a series of abstract images. Then, starting from those fragments, the attention is focused on the transmission of the movement to the rest of the body. The camera moves like following an organic and natural chain that makes the singular parts have the sense of the whole. It’s not only an individual body and it’s not merely a physical unit; In those abstract pieces of skin we can recognize the common origin of human nature.

"Numb Ceremony" is a short abstract art film about a state just after loosing someone and before the grief comes, when it is impossible to understand what has happened. A frozen landscape with black creatures in a ceremony of taking farewell. "Numb Ceremony" was created with matte painting and compositing.

on Such A Day As This

MM2 has numerous meanings, from the short form for square millimeter to a class of force fields and, in Italy, a train station named Milan Metro Line 2 (MM2). It is from this train station that an Italian rock band has taken its name: the MM2 Band, founded in 1999. The group’s music has taken hold in the international market with sold-out concerts. Through email correspondence between MM2 The Band and MM2 Modern Dance in Philadelphia, a unique collaboration took place... A choreography was set to "Poker Cheater", a song by MM2 The Band. Recorded and mixed virtually, "Poker Cheater" was played in performances on both continents.

Their previous film "Aston Gorilla" won the Alternative Routes award at Moves 10, screening at Cinedans, Holland, and VideoDanza, Barcelona. Christopher is a founder member of the acclaimed Hofesh Schechter Company.

What began one day as an experiment, dive-rolling over a grounded camera, became an exposition of the tension between will and hesitation. Looking upwards: "Through editing attempts to fly, I found that hesitation is a powerful force of gravity. When we let go of this, any day is the day to fly." Ellen Maynard

Reflections

Three women, somewhat adrift. One lost in forgetfulness, the other in perfect control and the last, exploding. A videodance project created in urgency, an aesthetic and impressive search, the balance between what is sensible and physical performance. This project is an initiative by Audrey Bergeron and Broke Lab, an artistic research laboratory created by Merryn Kritzinger, Susan Paulson and Roxane Duchesne-Roy.

"Reflections" addresses the struggle for dominance and survival. Traditionally, Chinese lion dances at festivals bring good luck and drive away misfortune. However, in this short film, the lions represent dual roles of heroism and inner demons for a man coming to terms with his identity in a land that may never embrace him. The lion mask for him embodies a false sense of defiance, of power. Ultimately, when the mask is stripped of its outer skin, he is left unadorned to face his truths. This is a film inspired by a larger interdisciplinary dance theater work of the same name that premiered in San Francisco September 2011 and in New York October 2011.

"Ripple" is dedicated to the victims of the Sandy Hook catastrophe. In the film, a dancer begins alone in a dark void of a world, a dry world in which things tend to crumble and break. He is discovered and overtaken by the fluidity and love of the other dancers. They strive to bring him into a world filled with peace.

"Silk Cyclone" celebrates early work by silk dancer Louis Fuller and the Lumière brothers, while commemorating the Regina Tornado of 1912, which wiped out half a city.

„Skizm“ is a contemporary dance video, the upshot of an experiment with the aim to study the shape and movement of the body from different points of view. In its centre there is a process of an inner alteration. It can be familiar to everybody, though the initial question and the factors at play are different for all, and change with time.

Breakdance power-moves plus a million drops of water. With parcour artist Ryan Doyle, seven dancers from 4-time world champion breakdance crew “Flying Steps” show off remarkable power moves in stereo 3D and super-slow-motion. Shot at high frame rates, quick spins and moves slow down to a fraction of their normal speed. And when the moves are at their most thrilling, time practically stands still – taut muscles, concentration, power, acrobatics and the very special art of the athletes become truly visible. By bringing in water as an additional, dramatic element within the performance, the stereo 3D effect was intensified.

“To My Dear Cinematographer” deals with the confinement in relationships between people. The scarf as a connecting chain connects the dancer and the camera. The camera, as a person’s eyes, uses the subjective point of view, moving with the dancer to present the process of the conversation.

097

Umoja-one

Rave culture connects with the musical chromatic scale of Johann Sebastian Bach. Shot on Super 8 in the 1990s, the film is the result of a full night of dancing. Using the formalism of the music, and a classical dance aesthetic, the chaos becomes trans-historical, commenting on the nature of revelry, celebration and the human form rather than a documentary-style moment of history. (See also "Chromatic Revelry" for 10 short films.)

"Umoja-One" is a work about living: birth, death, and the moments of curiosity, exploration, and discovery that happen in between. The polyscape installation, representing the creative force of the universe, gives birth to the soloist. As the man discovers his physical nature, the source begins to move in response. Eventually, their respective movements are synchronized, and they become one. In this life, we strive to live freely, honestly and lovingly. In doing so we come in tune with the universe and it dances with us. And like the soloist, when we expire, we return to this powerful source.

Following the success of Sadler’s Wells’ Bollywood stage musical "Wah! Wah! Girls", Arts Council England commissioned Sadler’s Wells and Leopard Films to make a short film, "Sita Oh Sita", based on the main love duet from the show for The Space, the new free digital arts service developed in partnership with the BBC. This five minute film was shot in the style of a Bollywood pop promo, on location in Petticoat Lane Market in London's East End. Inspired by the world of Mujra dancers, who for generations have entertained the rich and powerful with a spellbinding mix of dance and song, "Wah! Wah! Girls" tells a passionate and playful story of love against the odds, set against the vibrant background of the East End in 2012. For this film, composer Niraj Chag reworked the love duet "Sita Oh Sita" and the lyrics were rewritten in Hindi by Japjit Kaur.

White

This community-engaged dance project is a collaboration led by Ensemble Indépendant with Télé-Québec Côte-Nord, TVCOGECO, the city of Sept-Iles and L'Envol maison de la famille with the support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec. The artists engaged with a community of parents and grand-parents with their babies and children through dance and music. The artistic process aimed to explore the metaphors of maternity and generations with the added comical effect of dancing with strollers. The music is composed by Scott Thomson and played by the Toronto based ensemble Woodshed Orchestra.

Created by Tiit Helimets with Rapt Productions, this film tells the story of how visual art can be created through dance. Helimets uses the three colors in the flag of his home country, Estonia, as three different canvases, and uses his dance expertise as a vehicle to paint each canvas with opposing colors. White represents hope and the whiteness of the eye. The dancer’s classical ballet outfit represents the oppression of other cultures that have held Estonia captive (photo: Sarah Van Patten). She traces black paint, representing the pollution of other cultures, across the canvas creating the Estonian people’s eye of hope.

A poetic portrayal of the stages of grief, "Ajar" ventures to stay open in the face of loss and the mystery of death. Fleeting movements weave the bond between two friends and the breaking of that connection. We are left “ajar” with the riddle of the in-between and the final ambivalence: “I am here and you are not, or are you?” Set in a tranquil garden, the imagery of cherry blossoms intimates the beauty and impermanence of life. Music by Ethel and Moby brings string quartets to accompany the bitter-sweet chords rising from the dance.

And The Happiness When?

When the relationship with the other becomes a net with too-large holes that let meaning slip away at the exact moment we try to grasp it. "Almost" is based on processes of accumulation and (re)composition work of the frame, which gives the film its distinct visual mood. Images are fragmented, repeated and superimposed on each other, interrupted and suspended. This project stands on the border between visual art, film and dance, with a kinesthesia that takes on a particular form: a poetic language that redefines the notion of “choreography” on screen and in direct relation to the editing.

At an unspecified time and place, a woman sleeps on top of a television. Innocent and unsuspecting at whatever age she is: TV, for her, is her bed, her sleeping pill and the substitute of life. The dream of her higher self passes through the TV screen. Could it be a picture of the future? Or is it her soul trapped in a projection already defined by others for her and for almost everyone else, a so-called "life"? And, finally, can she let herself be released?

Before Us

"Before Us" is an intimate and unguarded exploration of maleness and community. Two adult men and two boys move together through a series of screendance snapshots revealing some of the nuanced colors of male relationships. Director Rebecca Salzer captures vital masculine physicality – in all its developmental stages – while also revealing its underlying tenderness.

Blind Torrent

Beyond The Surface

A ground-breaking film shot almost entirely underwater, "Beyond the Surface" was inspired by stories of fisherman drowned at sea. A magical world is revealed in this haunting, dream-like piece, as fluid bodies intertwine and interact. Performed by Velcro Dance Company, a professional company of disabled and non-disabled dancers.

118

Blind

This piece comes from an idea inspired by the novel "The Fall" by Albert Camus: A law student takes a blind person as an opportunity to practice her kindness helping him cross the street, but her kindness is transformed into selfishness, contempt and the desire to damage the helpless and inferior being. The film goes from showing a bucolic, soft and light beginning to a growing aggressiveness ending in hilarious madness. This short film (non-profit experimental film) is based on contemporary theater dance.

"Blind Torrent" explores the ritual landscape of Devon in southwestern UK from the perspective of imagined archaeology and ritualized movement. The film is a poetic collaboration between visual artist Russell Frampton and choreographer and dancer Ruth Way and examines the idea of transmission of knowledge and the essential relationship between our bodies and the landscape. Featuring music from Mercury award nominee Ben Davis of Basquiat strings.

Helimets (photo) uses the three colors in the flag of his home country, Estonia, as three different canvases, and uses his expertise of dance as a vehicle to paint each canvas with opposing colors. Blue represents the peace and ease of the sky, Black represents the earth, and White inspires hope. Three principal dancers from San Francisco Ballet will trace the paint with their feet on the canvas while dancing original choreography.

Breaking

A moody space of striking dark and light where 3 young men explore their social, physical and animal natures. In solos, duets and trios, they gradually disrobe, shaking off the gaze of the spectator and emerging as three angelic, solitary and impassioned individuals.

124

Butterfly Soul

The vastness of the horizon. A man and a woman meet. Their bodies merge in front of the spectator and begin a passionate dance. "Breaking" is the cinematic vision of an energetic dance duet which was restaged in front of the Baltic Sea. The film is a journey into the dynamics of a relationship and examines human nature through retranslating it into a multilayered moving image work. Its anatomy consists of the precise orchestration of camerawork, dance and music. It combines choreographed image and body, instinct and close proximity to an amalgamation of dance, rhythm and movement.

"Butterfly Soul" explores the artist’s state of fragility through a metaphorical quest. The mind works like a butterfly and flies, disordered and at random, from one idea to another, between hesitation and dazzling speed, trying to resist the wind and the doubt. Whatever detours it may take, the butterfly is moving towards a mysterious destination – only it knows where.

"Cartographies" is a series of choreographic interventions in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. The 11th cartography takes place on green grass, on a stairway of stone. The subject is the duality of masculinity. Three male dancers learn how to use strength without strength, how to be gracious without the worry of being "precious".

128

Centrifuge

"Cartographies" is a project that was created by famous Swiss choreographer Philippe Saire as a series of choreographic interventions in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. The aim is to search for new ways of printing bodies on landscapes and creating fresh identities for urban spaces. Dance comes out of the spaces traditionally assigned to it and meets the public in everyday spaces and situations. In the 10th cartography, taking place in the old city center of Lausanne, three dancers, like in a vaudeville, evolve with passion, to French accordion music.

"'Carol and Mariusz' is a project-based duet, where we capture on film our live conversations of movement. These conversations take place in impromptu places as well as scheduled environments, where we seek a quiet intrusion into the daily life of society, printing traces and awakening the possible awareness of this humanly movement that we all commonly share. Doing this by opening the door to personal stories in the living of the now. 'Centrifuge' is one of these captured moments." Carol and Mariusz

Crawling For AccepDance

Searching for the identity of the urban space and of her own, this short film follows the steps of the dancer Emma Garau. She is crossing architectural barriers, dancing on and on, ending up on the roof of a significant building, offering the sensation of flying, and so invites you to dream. The city, the dancer, the music are equivalent protagonists and form an indivisible whole. The camera follows the steps of the dancer and becomes her shadow, which gives the viewer the feeling of being directly involved.

Desolation runs through the forest and nature suffers. The dance army will stop at nothing before reaching their goal – to gain power and to recruit the newborn dancer who lives in harmony with the environment. The overwhelming destructive force of the dance army grows as they destroy more and more trees. Soon they will run out of the oxygen they need to survive. Katharina Bischof’s experimental short dance film, with poignant aesthetics and emotional urgency, shows how men exploit their environment without realizing that they will perish with it.

Throughout 2011, a rhythmic chant echoed across the Arab lands, as young protestors called for government reform, economic opportunity and political freedom. This wave of demonstrations skipped borders with ease, carried in newspapers and magazines, on Twitter and Facebook, and the airwaves of al Jazeera and al Arabiya. These events came to be known as the Arab Awakening. "Eastern Winds" is a visual dance journey giving voice and color to the political and social struggles that took place across Arab countries during the 2011 revolutions and beyond.

Set in a historic 18th-century home and its surrounding fields, this dance on film is a quiet journey between two women (photo: Ashley Lippolis), accompanied by the rich soundscapes of musicians Vicki Brown and Mona Chambers. It is for the wanderers of the fields who dwell in sadness, loss, and flight. And it is for those who are drowning, both inside and out.

entrée

Soo Yeun moves with expert grace, a body suffused with gravity and lightness. She performs a dance amidst a crowd of people. A crowd composed of disparate bodies, and interests, engaged in an assortment of activities. Soo’s body becomes a focus of interest for some. Heads turn, cameras click. What is this body? Blood, bone, flesh, nerves? She evokes a ritualistic intensity, energetic, determined, focused, sensual, carving swathes of red and white through the air. Her bare feet touch the stone floor of the plaza. She is grounded, evoking a sense of stillness in motion.

Feast

A young former ballerina visits her old ballet school. She watches the dancers in the dance class and explores the rooms filled with memories. Despite her disability, she tries at the ballet barre and fails. But through her teacher, she finds a new way to live out her passion for dance. Finally, past and present merge into a new consciousness.

In 'Gravity', I try to reveal a balance between contemporary dance and Tai Chi. Explore the beauty of movement, which derives from inner power, the Chi, the gravity of nature. In those movements, they attract and are attracted, resist and are resisted, and somehow, pass the power next to each other like the ups and downs of life." Xiaoyuan Zhu

Homage

151

I Would Believe So As not To Believe

“I met a woman. Her faint light littered with miscellaneous stories. Her homage is a show, more oblique, figuratively the concept of Charlotte.” (Steven Fajana) Three characters in an empty apartment – Are they there to look at an apartment to live in? Or to dance? What inspires their dance dialogue and play is each of them with own individual traits, as their characters emerge. This is what we see! What do you see? What do they see? What do they think you see? What are they thinking we are seeing?

The choreographer Chevi Muraday creates a dance, "Yo Creyera Para No Creer", inspired by the musical composition "Licnobio" and the poem "Cómo me gustaría ser esa oscura ciénaga…" ("How I would like to be this dark marsh…"). Is life the cause of death, or death the cause of life? In this original and dramatic composition, the dancers explore desire, liberation, struggle and farewell.

like Hamlet

An isolated and neurotic women, Ingrid, is longing for a man to love her. The tall, dark, and handsome gentleman of her fantasies suddenly appears, but his limp expressionless form leaves much to be desired. Despite her animalistic, quirky, and raunchy attempts to pique his interest, he remains a lifeless puppet, leaving it to her to decide whether or not this counterfeit, flaccid gentleman is enough to fulfill her desire for love.

This a short version of the film "Comme Hamlet". A loose adaptation of the Shakespearian play based on schizophrenia, passion, violence and family. "Comme Hamlet"/"Like Hamlet" is an abstract dance journey through the tormented mind of an unstable individual. Loosely based on the classic play, the film takes us on a ride of incest, passion, violence and paranoid schizophrenia. Created and shot within the walls of the church Le Gesù in Montréal, Canada. What is real and what is only taking place within the mind of this Hamlet? What is madness to each one of us? This dance/theatre film is a story of a flawed individual who wreaks havoc on the people around him. (photo: Mark Eden-Towle)

The pictures are carried and connected by the vocals of Brian Asawa, celebrated as the “world’s best countertenor” (Opera Today) who presents classical countertenor pieces as well as contemporary compositions by John Reynolds.

Moment of Fever – Petra Zupančič

A man is drawn into an abandoned house. As he explores the house he notices that it is bigger from the inside than the outside. A sound in the distance lures him further into the building. The man follows what he thinks is music and stumbles into an empty room. A broken radio on the floor deepens the sudden absence of music. Suddenly the radio starts to play again. The man, unsure at first, starts to feel more comfortable and moves to the music. The room he is in starts to grow to facilitate his new state. This brief moment of joy is rudely interrupted as the man gets confronted with a new presence...

"Left behind them / Will be pyramids and mansions, / Memories of royal / Feasts, killings and tortures, / Drinking bouts and incidental / Tumbles into time, quiet moans / And reticent sobbing, or / Perhaps just a memory of curses / And a dance of aspiration. / Left behind us will be / Neither poems nor novels, / But just and only / The night when we first made love / And then slowly went on losing / The direction of tenderness."

ode on A Korean Urn

"Moving Socrates" explores the contemporary relevancy of six questions asked by the Greek philosopher and scholar Socrates (469 B.C. – 399 B.C.) through the voices of 21st century dance artists. The screen dance short was inspired by Christopher Phillips’ book “Six Questions of Socrates: A Modern Day Journey of Discovery Through World Philosophy,” and by the varied, visceral landscape of New York City. Through the eye of a single hand-held camera, Director Kim Karpanty responds to the performers’ reflections by exposing them in iconic locations with words and movement. (photo: What is Courage?)

The Korean Urn represents Korean culture. As an object close to daily life, used to preserve basic foods. It is a symbol of the long time spent waiting for life to be ready. In the film, the Korean Urn is used as a metaphoric object, visually and audibly, in a poetic way. In ancient times people communicated through drumming. In the dance, the urn becomes an instrument of percussion and the symbol of global communication. It is the representation of awakening souls. The film was shot mainly in Korea, in Plum village, and at the Royal Palace in Paris, France.

Queens Dream

An ice cream on a cloudy day, a revolution in the alleyways, funking footballers and a chicken shop tea dance are just a few of the magical moments made and found by diverse groups of dancers living in East London. Over a period of six months, eight East London based artists worked with young people and elders in Tower Hamlets to create short moving postcards of their area. The result is a series of nine films reimagining and revealing histories and everyday passions. "Postcards from East London" is the second work in an ongoing international dance film project.

The themes of the work include Saint Phalle’s pre-occupation with birth, death and transformation. Trance, ritual and repetition combine in a magical world invoking our dreams. The camera moves within the magical circle, sometimes a part of the dance, sometimes the dreamer herself.

They rotate on their axis at high speed, building up frustrations. In "Sons Of The New World," people break this circular motion. It starts with one girl: she stops, looks up and sees the world for the first time. She reconnects with herself and feels the intense urge to be alive again. And what starts with one girl, eventually affects everyone.

La Contessa is from the Big House, where she lives a formal life of elegance and predictability, governed by rules and etiquette. When they meet, communication and understanding doesn’t come easily.

The Doors of Infinite

190

The Stronger

The representation of the concept of the infinite from a philosophical, artistic and mathematical perception. Beginning with William Blake’s aphorism “If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, INFINITE'', we pursue that cleansing, a new dawn. The piece, with palindrome and fractal structure, presents firstly the concept of infinite accompanied by fragmented music and a discontinuous choreography; then a noise-and-silence loop as an inflexion point leading to a third part, where a new language is born out of an algorithm, accompanied by an Indian raga and slow and liquid movements.

189

The next Step Is

"The Stronger" is a short film that evokes the interior conflicts of two women grappling with love, betrayal, and shame and is inspired by August Strindberg’s play of the same name. An emotional and psychological journey unfolds as we are drawn into the interior worlds of two women who are in love with the same man. Without dialogue, the story is told entirely through subtle, but emotionally charged choreography juxtaposed with realistic vignettes.

The Time It Takes

The time it takes... © Victoria Sendra

Stuck in the tunnel of time, the only place to escape is in the same time, because time is imaginary. Fear of the future creates uncertainty in the present and so we set ourselves free by studying Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. Removing the boundaries of time and space allows fluidity through different dimensions, as a human brain would travel through thoughts. When brain activity becomes accelerated, the heart rate increases, and once the thought occurs that time is accelerating, it is realized that in reality time travels in a circle.

Triptych For An Unbalanced Society

Traces of Places

"Triptych For An Unbalanced Society" is a videodance in which the language of contemporary dance fuses with patterns, shapes and colors. Dance, movement, rhythm and compositions are the main charaters, expressing emotions produced by momentum and spontaneity that are surrounded by urban spaces, synthesized in primary colors and shapes. The visual fragmentation in different frames helps taking them out of context, representing a more poetic imaginary where visual elements shape the background where the dance takes place. © Roddy Simpson

"When you can move through a house blindfolded it belongs to you ... as if you were a blueprint of your house" (Michael Oondatje 1989) Watched as if through a window on time, a dancer moves through the mnemonic traces of places which inhabit and haunt her presence. Guided by her kinaesthetic memories and shifting between "here and now" and "there and then", her embodied stories unfold, rewind, retrograde and interweave.

Untraceable Patterns

Inspired by a true-life relationship and set to a musical score of the same title, "Veronica and Vincent" was composed by Daniel Bernard Roumain. The composition is based on a recorded interview Roumain did with an elderly lady from the neighborhood he grew up in, recounting – with some regret – her relationship with her late husband. Daniel Bernard Roumain edited that text and interspersed it with his original violin composition. "Veronica and Vincent", originally choreographed for the stage to Roumain's score, captures that longing for connection and the nostalgia that can arise when that opportunity is no longer available. This re-imagining of the duet features dancers Andrea Basile and Brandon "Private" Freeman.

Well Contested Sites

The videodance is based on the choreographic project "Untraceable Patterns". This project was conceived to explore movements and sounds that create the sensation of trace and roots, but instead are a migration of themes with a chaotic tendency. The set is an installation of artisanal and technological instruments performed live either by the dancer or the musician. Musically, the score deals with very structured pre-existent material and the fragility of real-time performance.

Drawing upon formerly incarcerated men’s experiences and physical memories, "Well Contested Sites" explores the idea that a prisoner’s body is a contested site: its presence or absence, its power and its vulnerability, are all intensely realized in prisons, institutions that empha-

Using innovative camera and editing techniques, while maintaining an emphasis on the choreography as the primary expressive tool, the film reaches multiple audiences: for both the uninformed and those well-acquainted, the film’s artistry provides the opportunity to experience the impact of incarceration in a different way, divergent from discussion.

In the midst of the strangeness of words and the savor of foreign lands, the body attempts to vibrate like vocal chords.

Using the formalism of the music and a classical dance aesthetic, the chaos becomes trans-historical, commenting on the nature of revelry, celebration and the human form rather than a documentary-style moment in history.

"Beach Party Animal" is a choreo-mentary of British eccentricity and Brighton beach life. Set over twenty-four hours, where the land meets the sea and people come to be and be seen, we observe private moments in public places and guerrilla performers who seamlessly infiltrate with an equally unconventional public.

Conversations

The scene is the city. The life and death of a character, backwards. All this through one fixed shot involving dance, acting, figuration in a theatrical use of the city.

Then there was the artistic conversation between the composer and the choreographer inextricably linked to the conversation between music and dance. The relationship of the two dancers, husband and wife, provided the material for yet another layer of development and finally there was the overarching meta-concept of how any conversation develops, starting with the shedding of a cocoon of individual protection and limitation, defining a larger sense of one’s self, moving on to seeking, finding and gaining the attention of another, to flirtation, to a deeper understanding, and finally the effort to maintain the meaning of the conversation once the superficial layers are eroded away.

Dan’s House

"Dan’s House", a dance-for-camera film, is a love letter to dancemaker Dan Wagoner. This film is for all those who crave to have a tangible artifact of Wagoner, besides their own body memory of what he has taught in his dance classes and repertory. Created with Wagoner’s aesthetic in mind, "Dan’s House" captures Wagoner, and three dancers, within a day at Wagoner’s 18th-century farmhouse.

Saturated colors, euphoric music, and ecstatic dance choreography fail to engage an immobilized public. "Fanfare for Marching Band" follows the antics of a ragtag musical militia, as they embark on an inept invasion through a parallel universe where their exuberant music is out of sync and unheard. Reflecting on today's lean economic times, this music and dance film features choreography by Peter Carpenter and performances by the circus punk marching band Mucca Pazza, who stage musical "Actions for Joy" at various inappropriate locations around the city of Chicago. © Kalo Zer, Madeleine Curró

Death is that final dream that finally stops us from dreaming. But death is not just a physical fact. It can also be a state of mind. A person may abandon her life before it comes to an end simply by surrendering. And what about a person who resigned? What has she got left? Living a motionless life, paralyzed by constant defeats and disappointments, enslaved by her fears, how does she “wander the withered fields” of her existence? They say the engine of life is love. I humbly disagree. It is our dreams...

Gentle Spirit

Screen Choreography – Programmes over 15 minutes |

"Lo Siento"/"I'm Sorry" tells the story of a man who accidentally kills his mother in an argument. The quest for redemption generates the character's dream journey confused and disturbed by memories, encountering characters and situations: a journey of introspection.

218

"Gentle Spirit" is a narrative-style contemporary dance film based on the novella “A Gentle Creature”. The piece comes with the subtitle of “A Fantastic Story”, and it chronicles the relationship between a pawnbroker and a girl that frequents his shop. The story was inspired by a news report that Dostoevsky read in April 1876 about the suicide of a seamstress. Dostoevsky referred to it as a “meek suicide” that “keeps haunting you for a long time.”

216

Journey Home

Her

In "Journey Home", director/choreographer Christy O Harris explores human connection, strength and vulnerability through modern dance and the lens of a digital camera. The moving images reveal a sensitive awareness of the immediacy of the moment and the intimacy of dance with regard to space and light design. "Journey Home" celebrates the human condition and its evolution as it is transformed by the digital world.

The film tells the story of beautiful Albena and the men around her. Men from the past, who stealthily appear in her life and are always nearby. Men to whom she belongs by virtue of the rule, and men that seduce her heart. None of them gives her consolation; they all want to possess her… Albena’s only wish is to be happy… A film about greed.

là-bas, le lointain

I'm Sorry

"Là-bas, le lointain" is featuring a community in perpetual motion, coming together and falling apart, a cascade of embraces lost and found. Creatures reflecting on life, death and memory. A desire for escape to contemplate the beauty of the world, accept the ephemeral nature of our bodies and the obsessive presence of absence... To remember, to move, to fall, collapse with another body, love. To hold, to embrace until it strangles, an infinite cheek-to-cheek. To leave the earth to be suspended in the sky… (photo: Arielle Warnke St-Pierre)

Format Studio production | Co-Production Company Gildas Le Roux, La Compagnie des Indes (France) | Duration 27' | Production Year 2012 | Choreography by Héla Fattoumi, Eric Lamoureux | Source video/audio HD/Stereo How to film what is hidden? Filmmaker Valérie Urréa faced the challenge by directing a film based on "Manta". This solo – choreographed by Eric Lamoureux and Héla Fattoumi and performed on stage by Héla – has met with considerable success on tour. It is exceptionally political. The artist shares her experience of wearing the niqab, the Muslim full veil. The film claims its role as a subjective interpretation of the piece, fruit of an in-depth encounter between the dance artists and an artist of the image, film director Valérie Urréa, who is deeply involved in questioning the representation of the body in an Arab world in movement. The virtuosity of her camera work is to explore the depths. Or in contrast, caress the nearness of intimacy. This close-up work often focuses on capturing patiently, and as closely as possible, the dancer’s regard – that rare facet of hers.

Hong Kong is well known for its high-density concrete jungle, but not many are as familiar with its rich countryside. The poetical film "Landscape duet" takes an interest in Hong Kong territory and reveals both its urban landscapes and natural environment as two dancers physically explore the radically opposite locations and symbolically embody concrete and water. The wordless film implicitly denounces, through dance, the environmental issue of over-urbanism which little by little erases the natural landscape in many important cities. The hypnotic super slow motion introduction is followed and enhanced by the original music by singer/musician Matthieu Ha.

Masina

The film "Masina" is a free, poetic meditation on femininity told by body language. It affects some of its aspects in the context of both universal and related to life today. Although it is not a literal biography, it contains many items referring to Giulietta Masina, actress and wife of Fellini, which makes it a journey deep into the soul of a woman.

An embrace initiates the dance. Mixing fiction with dance, "Low" works on the cinema codes and on the emotions that bring an interaction of dance and images.

Meetings

Screen Choreography – Programmes over 15 minutes |

Choreographer Hallgrim Hansegård from Frikar Dance Company brought with him four of his best dancers of the Norwegian Halling tradition, to the Wudang Mountains in China. There dwells Kung Fu master Chen Shiyu and his disciples. The Kung Fu monks do not speak English, nor the Norwegian dancers Chinese. Together they have created a story under simple conditions, and with no interpreter. Awkward moments, moving compassion and childlike play are combined with the art of movement from two strong traditions. During the summer of 2012, the show was versioned for TV and filmed on location in Norway; a meeting between two widely different traditions – that may have more in common than meets the eye? The music is composed by Marcus Paus and recorded by the Norwegian Radio Orchestra.

Musical Chairs

It’s rush hour on London Bridge, one man is standing alone. We watch the world through his eyes. He looks up and sees a solitary figure standing on the corner of a tall building. He starts walking through the City of London, witnessing its characters, finally standing up to the Bank of England. "One Man Walking" explores some of the intensity and challenges of life in the metropolis, using krump – an expressive and highly energetic dance movement – combined with the uplifting, soaring excitement of free-running. Conceived entirely for the camera, "One Man Walking" features 30 dancers.

227

Pedestrian Crossing

"Musical Chairs" is a romantic tale about two New Yorkers, Armando and Mia, who share a love of dancing. Sophisticated Mia has a promising career as a professional ballroom dancer; Armando is a part-time handyman at the dance studio where she works. Despite their differences, there's clearly a spark between them when they find themselves alone in the studio. But before their relationship has a chance to grow, a tragic accident changes Mia's life forever. Armando struggles to find a way to win Mia over until he hears about an upcoming Wheelchair Ballroom Dance Competition taking place in NYC.

one Man Walking

Something strange lurks beneath the surface of everyday life. Incorporating contemporary dance and pedestrian vocabularies, "Pedestrian Crossing" follows eccentric and estranged characters that defy group behaviors, drawing upon the already-inherent absurdities and poetics present in San Francisco. In an unprecedented merger of dance, theatricality, and high visual imagery, "Pedestrian Crossing" reveals unexpected moments of imagination within and among our everyday activities. Walking down a cross walk or sitting next to a stranger on public transportation – even the dull moments of our daily routine can be a catalyst for inspirational art.

Private I’s

| Screen Choreography – Programmes over 15 minutes

The film follows the construction, eruption, corruption and destruction of the masculine self and other. It investigates the boundaries of masculinity, and the forces that operate on the male body, while borrowing from different cultures and modalities. The movement language can be traced to traditional forms and concepts integral to martial arts. It translates it into a contemporary individualized expression in different ways, while counterbalancing it with the mundane “every day” gestures of male bonding.

The Waltz

Screen Choreography – Programmes over 15 minutes |

"Time Dance" draws the audience into a kaleidoscopic journey full of human gesture – exploring space, topography and geometry by choreographic means. An extraordinary new music score amplifies the trace of the body in dance. Both dance and music examine the biological and electrical forces present in movement. For "Time Dance" the screen space incubates and expands ideas around balance and dimension. This is kinetic and photographic. As digital artists we look to alter perception of the moving body and how it interfaces with boundaries set by screens, cameras, projectors and post-production technologies.

In 1920, after months of total isolation in a friend’s country house in Lapras, about 400 km southwest of Paris, Maurice Ravel finally completed the orchestration for "La Valse, poème choréographique" ("The Waltz, a choreographic poem"), which Sergei Diaghilev had commissioned for the Ballets Russes. It marked Ravel’s return to great compositional work after a long uncreative period resulting from the terrible war years and the death of his mother, who had been, he said, the only reason for him to live.

Their voices are present through movement, expressing their journey to a realization of freedom in their life. Nature expands their meditation and connects them all in spirit, as they, as women, share the same need of fulfilling their destiny of happiness through freedom.

BalletBoyz: The next Generation

The choreographer Alonzo King, acclaimed as "one of the few, true ballet masters of our times" by William Forsythe, works with his company "The Alonzo King LINES Ballet" in San Francisco. Combining modern dance and classical ballet, he compares the relationship between choreographer and dancer with the creation of a song. The documentary portrays him in his role as a teacher and an inspiration for his dancers. His specific approach to dance is shown, and the spectator understands that being taught by a "poet of dance" is a very special and unique experience for every dancer. (photo: “Dust and Light”)

In 2009, award winning dance company BalletBoyz launched a new allmale dance company, handpicked from open auditions from a variety of dance backgrounds. Since then, they have become a worldwide hit with audiences, received rave reviews, have performed live to over 100,000 people and reached an audience in excess of 4 million through numerous TV appearances. Filmed over two years in the UK and on location in Ethiopia, the documentary follows the group as they travel to Addis Ababa to become the first UK dance company to perform in Ethiopia.

Beyond The Scene

This documentary takes place in a tiny New York apartment which can barely contain the combined energy of dancer Arthur Aviles and his mentor, Aileen Passloff. Arthur is a BESSIE & BRIO award winner who danced for many years with Bill T. Jones and is currently director of BAAD! (the Bronx Academy of Arts & Dance). Aileen is an octogenarian dancemaker, a dance pioneer at the Judson Church with James Waring and others. Their candid conversations touch on process, their decades-long relationship, dance history and what matters in dancing.

A new landscape is taking form in Montreal’s contemporary dance scene. Distinguishing themselves are choreographers Virginie Brunelle, Frédérick Gravel, and Dave St-Pierre. Somewhere between theater, performance, and dance, these artists stage pieces with current and universal themes, all the while questioning form. "Aux limites de la scène" ("Beyond the scene") explores the work of these three choreographers with a mosaic of interviews, excerpts of their work, and candid moments from their everyday life. The film follows their creative process and reveals how a new generation of Montreal choreographers is shaking up and provoking contemporary dance. (photo: Isabelle Arcand, SimonXavier Lefebvre)

like A Breath

Amelie is a contemporary dancer who has cystic fibrosis and diabetes. In spite of these diseases, the young woman works hard to gain access to her dream: doing her first professional dance show with the company Carpe Diem. The film follows her, without any words, into her life and her fight against the diseases and the professional dance world.

The Paris Opera Ballet is one of the world’s great ballet companies. Frederick Wiseman has filmed all the aspects of the work and life of this cultural institutional monument. By filming daily courses, repetitions and performances, Frederick Wiseman highlights the French school of ballet known for its emphasis on rigorous attention to technical perfection and precision of movement. This new opus is part of Wiseman’s long working method, a craftsman approach to film-making entirely shaped by his own aim: that of listening to the institution as it "speaks", trying to identify the rule it lives by.

The filmmakers Olivia Rochette and Gerard-Jan Claes followed the rehearsal process from the auditions to the opening performance. The documentary focuses on how De Keersmaeker and the Rosas dancers convey the dance idiom of the choreographer to the classically trained ballet dancers. The rigidity of ballet gives way to another kind of severity, namely the mathematical pattern of "Rain", which, however, conceals a powerful emotional layering. A poetic documentary about searching, looking and hesitating within the walls of the opera.

Members of the Urban Bush Women lead the young dance majors through community-building exercises, challenging them to look at issues of homelessness and displacement. During rehearsals, the students embark on a rigorous journey – both physically and emotionally – as they engage in what Zollar calls “an actor’s process through a dancer’s body". Zollar choreographed "Shelter", a dance for six women, in 1988 after witnessing homelessness in the United States.

Romeos & Juliets

When two percussionists and two dancer-choreographers decided to create a new artistic venture which deals with the delicate relationship between dance and music, they worked out how to share the scenic space together. Their idea was to create a bond between the body and the sound and to forego the traditional relationship between musicians and dancers. The centre around which the dances are constructed is a set of two percussive structures placed on stage. Never exchanging their role, the artists occupy the stage together, each appropriating the rhythms and the gestures of the other and thereby revealing a new manner of performing. All of this came into existence when dancer and choreographer Thomas Guerry met percussionist, pianist and composer Camille Rocailleux. Four artists attacked the stage, not in their habitual roles, but in a desire to profoundly share their similarities and to risk new territory.

The film was inspired by "gracerunners" – a production by Karen Foss, a Norwegian choreographer. The lines: "I'm tired", "I'm ready" spoken by the dancers throughout the performance refer to the life of every human being. Hence the main motifs in the film: running, then the sudden stops or slowing down, depicting a man struggling with limitations, the physical struggle of the dancer with the choreography, space, body, and the fatigue.

For several years now, the polish contemporary dance scene has been essentially formed by young artists who create solo performances with modest financial resources. A circle of dance theorists coined the term "generation solo". "Soloists" is a personal journey on which, within 7 days, we meet 7 soloists at various stages of their dance career. The film documents their work, from research through improvisation and rehearsal to performance.

Something Swing

Documentary |

"Steppes: A Crossover" is a newly created choreographic program that takes you on a creative journey from traditional Ukrainian roots to contemporary art. In 2011, USA-based Voloshky Ukrainian Dance Ensemble invited 35 dancers and musicians to create a new work with Mark Morris, who has been referred to as "the most important choreographer since Balanchine." A new work was born… but equally important was the creative process that forged new relationships between people, countries and artistic genres. This is the story of this cross-pollinating process… of sharing and adapting – simultaneously learning and teaching.

Still Moving: Pilobolus At Forty

In July 2011, the Hungry Sharks Association moved to Madrid for three months to realize street art ideas. Featuring 20 artists from all over Europe, more than 300 performances where shown in the streets of the Spanish capital during this time. The best pieces were later merged to create a 90-minute stage production. The documentary, which came along with the premiere of "StreetlifeMAD" in 2012, tells about the good and bad times in Madrid. It was awarded with the GTT-Memorial-Award in 2012.

T4Tango

At Dartmouth College in New Hampshire in the 1970s, four athletes joined a dance class. Their collaborative work led to the creation of Pilobolus and the transformation of modern dance. Pilobolus skirted the lights of Manhattan and settled in rural Connecticut. "Still Moving: Pilobolus at Forty" focuses on the company’s lifecycle – including a founder’s death – its evolution, transformation, and regeneration. On the eve of its 40th anniversary, Pilobolus returns to New Hampshire for a Dartmouth-commissioned premiere of a collaboration with cartoonist Art Spiegelman (photo: Pilobolus performs “Gnomen” on its 40th anniversary). At their studio, on the road, in community workshops, and on stage, the arts organism Pilobolus thrives.

Never before in the history of Tango that the Cultural dept. of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina would organize a Tango Championship in the USA. The story is told through the eyes of a novice Tango dancer as she explores the behind-the-scene drama, and interviews the contestants in a grueling, and prestigious 4-day competition full of surprises. It is a celebration of the many Tango enthusiasts in San Francisco, and the California Bay Area communities that made this extraordinary event possible.

The Assembly

| Documentary

Directed by IMZ award-winning filmmaker Rachel Davies (Gold 2005), "The Assembly" is Rachel’s personal journey to rediscover her youth choir 25 years on, reassembling some of the original voices to create a song of praise to an inspirational teacher. Blending social realism, adolescent fantasy, performance and pop, "The Assembly" is a celebration of community, rooted in the memory of the early 80s; a time when society could be said to have been turning its back on shared and collective experience. Made as an installation for Manchester International Festival 2007, this film was eventually adapted and completed as a single-screen film in 2011.

The China Tour

Choreographer Ami Skånberg Dahlstedt takes us on a voyage to Japan where dance has a long and significant history. The dance has its roots in a mythological story, in which the Sun Goddess gets angry and hides in a rock cave. The world plunges into darkness and cold. However, the Godess of laughter lurs her out with some energetic and crazy dancing and finally the light and warmth returns. The story is the basis for both classical and contemporary dance and theater; Noh, Kabuki, Nihon Buyo and Butoh. We must keep dancing until the sun comes out. The film also invites us to meet Nishikawa Senrei, a very special profile in Kyoto. We will see parts of Ami’s lesson in traditional Japanese dance and also meet contemporary performers in Kyoto, the former capital of Japan. Filmed among cherry blossoms through the lense of Folke Johansson’s stable camera.

Always in the theatres, they struggle to excel in every show. But the encounter between Europe and Asia happens. The dancers are devoted to the public and they also receive the energy of each and every spectator. As in all performing arts, interchange takes place.

The Dance of The Sun

"The Ephemeral City" is the story of a rural town in the south of Catalonia which every summer becomes one of the main European centers for the creation of contemporary dance and circus. In a context of no cultural facilities and a great deal of unemployment, the ephemeral city "Deltebre Dansa" is organized around the basic infrastructures of the town. During two weeks two hundred professional dancers maintain the pulse of a city where dialogue and exchange through the languages of creation merge in the convivial DNA.

A poetic documentary, "The six seasons" is a film mirroring the creation of "Desh", a solo show choreographed by Akram Khan. The project is a reflection of his origins: Bangladesh. The film unfolds like a continuity of passages, bridges, and parallels that lead us to a story in which each individual is culturally made. The look of the author opens with geopolitical issues of Bangladesh, one of the most populous countries in the world, developing a reflection on the effects of global warming and economic migration. The whole film is composed as a poem, by fragmentally showing images of Bangladesh’s people, and by focussing on an artist who immigrated and who, through his dance, shares the dream of his origins. The images supporting this dream lead us back into a studio where, facing a mirror, everything could eventually be an illusion...

"In this documentary, we explore the mind and artistry of legendary choreographer Alonzo King. Over 3 years I photographed and filmed his work, discovering his love for the creative process, that pulsates through the vibrant and spectacular LINES Ballet. Alonzo's passion and insight is universally inspiring - providing powerful lessons into the true meaning of leadership, hard work, compassion and collaboration; imploring us to live life to the full and to explore and challenge our own limits with selfless intent. This documentary invites you to discover the beauty through movement and rhythm that Alonzo and his dancers consistently create." Franck Thibault

dances are always accompanied by a stamping of feet on the ground which enhances the sense of force and precision. Their physical engagement is both shrewd and generous, freely and dynamically exploiting the fields of movement open to the body." Régine Chopinot

Virtuosi

Itziar Mendizabal is a first soloist at The Royal Ballet, London. When she was a child, she asked her father if she could be a ballet dancer. Her father wrote to her the lyrics of the famous Basque song: "Txoria Txori" ("The bird is a bird"), setting her free to do what she wanted. Using the image of the bird to portray a strong and free woman, "Txoria" is the result of the collaboration between a dancer, a choreographer and the filmmakers of this documentary.

Cine-portraits of 8 New Zealand dance artists who have created stellar international careers. Framed by the music of jazz legend Mike Nock, "Virtuosi" is a reflection on journeys from home and artistic virtuosity. Antipodean by nature, New Zealanders have always been travellers, through necessity or adventure. What drives these artists to pursue careers to the other side of the world and do they ever find their way back home? "Virtuosi" dances across many cities – Berlin, London, New York, Sydney, Melbourne, Townsville, Brussels – revealing fascinating and astounding portraits of these unique movers and thinkers.

Wild In Art: Vladimir Malakhov Undercover In Berlin

"On stage there are thirteen of us. Twelve from the Le Wetr group and myself, men and women of every generation [...]. Since childhood every member of Le Wetr has learnt how to dance, sing and accompany themselves with modest percussions made from vegetable matter such as woven coconut-leaf cushions or large bamboos with deep, muffled sonorities. Traditionally, it’s the oldest who sing and the youngest who dance. For our creation ‘Very Wetr!’, that I’m co-producing with Umune Hnamano, I’ve suggested we modify their customary approach. They’re ready to adopt these changes and approach them calmly, open-mindedly. Their

Opera, concert hall and museum are yesterday’s chip paper – "Wild in Art" is what’s hot today. A new series where famous artists mix with their audience. In part one, Vladimir Malakhov takes part in the first aerobics lesson of his life. There he is searching for fellow campaigners to do a flashmob at Sony Center Berlin.
