In 2016 L1danceFest is organized for the 15th time by the L1 Association as its annual main event. Since 2002 the festival hosted international guests only for one or two days. Then it has gradually managed to extend the length and scope of invitations to become by now a genuinely international dance festival, so far unique in Hungary. The originally 10-day long festival was shortened to a 5-day long event in 2006. Since then it has been providing a number of possibilities for international productions to debut and share the evenings with Hungarian artists and productions. Now we are in the making of our 15th Anniversary Jubilee therefore the festival became again a 10-day long event comprising of a three-day symposium, another three days of workshops, a day for Hungarian fashion design catwalk and three days of the showcase program. We are glad to share this momentum with You. This year the L1 Association in partnership with the Center for Arts and Culture of Central European University (CEU) organizes for the first time a symposium on performative arts. Join us and discover the possibilities of meeting experts and discussing the various fancy approaches together with present and former L1danceFests’ guests (artists and theoreticians) and CEU academics. Practice shakes hand with theory!

The symposium is free of charge and is led in English. Pre-registration is needed.

14.00 – 15.10 Session 1 and Open Discussion Setting the theme:
Ivana IVKOVIĆ (HR)
AESTETICAL AND POLITICAL CONSTELLATIONS We live in the age of increasing pressure on artists (and a wider cultural sector) to justify their position in contemporary capitalist society, through community work, social work, therapy work... – all those social services that are deteriorating in our former-West and former-East societies in Europe. And we increasingly live with a demand to not only engage in society as artists, but do so as political activists – “artivists”. Some argue that theater has fallen to a peripheral aside in contemporary society. I believe its political potential may be in the space it offers the audience to experiment with ways of viewing, with imagining oneself differently when confronted with a live-posed question, and possibly with our own role in society, our own citizenship. Artistic work is intrinsically a temporal constellation that opens up aesthetical and political potentiality in our contemporary society, a condensation of time and space,

13.50 – 14.00
Zsuzsanna SZÁLKA (H) In more traditional performance settings audience usually experience a composed and arranged performance, live installation or choreography. Although there is always an intention to improvise on stage, usually the presentations are a creative product of a single or group of artists or a result of a previously improvised - but by the time of the performance- arranged piece. Through the presentation of two different live collective composition and performance practice on stage: choir improvisation and soundpainting, I would like to look into the relationship of the performing artists within the group and the relationship between the artist and audience during these collective creative processes. In what way are these performances meaningful and interesting to the audience, while a composed performance could always be more structured and complex? In what ways are these two comparable to each other? How is it possible to present a high quality of arts in these on stage improvised collective performance?
15.10 – 17.00 Session 2 and Open Discussion Perspectives from Practice:
Marie-Louise STENTEBJERG & Ida-Elisabeth LARSEN (DK)
THE QUALITY OF BEING COLLECTIVE How to practice collectivity without dying? Through our duo-practice we have arrived to a point where we wish to give ourselves over to the idea of an expansive inter-connectedness, which allows us to perceive a more direct contact with everything that surrounds us. Collectivity is then a constant factor, a quality of being, rather than a priority or choice. From this understanding we attempt to develop shared practices that allow us to access the other and for otherness to enter us via the extra-sensuous plane. Through meditative and trance inducing states we are experimenting with a shared virtual energy and space. Collectivity is for us about expanding the understanding of self, as a crucial alternative to the current concepts of Individuality and Mass. Social collectivity causes a lot of small “deaths” in its aim for consensus and its reproduction of recognized relational forms, which can enforce moments of stagnation and have draining effects. By approaching the relationship between psychic energy and physical form we look for ways to embody energetic notions of transferability and exchange. This requires a radical commitment in the energetic body in which even death becomes a transitory event rather than a finality.
session 2
projected and in-progress, work and non-work, artivist and amateur. The political stake of performing arts theater and dance alike - is not to present a different social reality, nor to keep audiences busy with faux sociality, but rather to stage the existing social reality under different terms. And one artist can’t do this alone.

RESPONSIBILITY AND POLITICS OF CULTURE 14.00 – 15.10 Session 1 and Open Discussion Setting the theme:
Joanna LEŚNIEROVSKA (PL)
Contemporary choreography as a tool for changing the world?
In the times of crises of democracy, can this “most democratic of arts” as it is often referred to provide us with some special remedies? Deliver alternative scenarios?
10
Choreography as a space of possible abolishment of Rancière’s paradox of the spectator. A space where the usual opposition between watching and acting has been surpassed. A space where instead of being a passive voyeur, the spectator becomes emancipated equal creator of the meaning. A space where on principle, a single predominant meaning got forsaken in favour of equally valuable multiple readings. A space where the activated, exploring, experimenting, and most
of all, experiencing spectator does not succumb to the opinions and arbitrary judgements of others, so as not to surrender – as cautioned by Rancière – to any authority, constraint or oppression. Choreography as a space for a (yet/ still) possible community of individually perceiving, creating, interpreting and acting members. Persistence in cultivating of (autonomous) choreographic art as a form of resistance. Contemporary choreographic practice as an essentially political gesture. For over a decade such choreography has been in focus within the Old Brewery New Dance program in Poznan. And at the time when once again we seem to need Utopias more than ever, here we ask again: Can contemporary choreography change the world? Does art have such a power at all? Can we ever succeed in such mission? and Are we ready for it?
Alexandra KOWALSKI (FR)
Arts and Performance After Cultural Policy
The decline of public funding hit the arts hard, drawing artists in a precarious world of unpaid work and ever more uncertain careers, and deepening inequalities between a global elite of stars and masses of

struggling creators. How has economic and cultural globalization affected the artistic field? What has been its impact on the politics and the ethics of aesthetic production? What is the place of art, and within it of performance art, in the new society? Such are some of the questions we will seek to answer collectively. 15.10 – 17.00 Session 2 and Open Discussion Perspectives from Practice:
Gerzson Péter KOVÁCS (H)
Is there a get-out?
The extent of the social respect and backing of the arts – and artists – mainly depends on the structure of the society, that essentially influences the consumption behaviour of culture and that establishes the actual conveniences, sovereignty, societal engagement and conflict-capacity of the artists. The social support of the contemporary arts, compared to the number of the all-time population of Hungary, though oscillated, proportionally was – as it is now – vanishing. Their self-supporting capabilities are near to the zero, their position is vulnerable, the existence of certain tendencies of different art forms, the artists and institutions who create and represent them traditionally depend on the goodwill and actual culture-policy of the governments – and the actors of the cultural sphere are geared to the circumstances. I will review the historical and recent causes of the phenomenon, and I
will offer you for a common consideration the question: are there any techniques to get out from the vulnerability?
Ewan McLAREN (CAN/CZ)
Between Communication and Aesthetics: Tendencies and Changes in the Indie Performance Community in Prague 2001 – 2016
What is more important for independent performing artists: the freedom to experiment formally, innovate and break down old barriers? Or dialogue with neighbors, city, and society through their arts projects? Or a commitment to the “perfect product”? Since 2001, the model approach of Prague’s independent performance community has largely shifted from the first priority to the second and third. What has driven this change? Comparisons with western European performing arts practice? The adaptation of societal engagement arts movements? Or perceived threats to democracy, the open society and by extension, indie arts communities themselves? And how does this compare with developments in other such Central and Eastern European communities?

MASK AND PERFORMATIVITY
16
14.00 – 15.10 Session 1 and Open Discussion Setting the theme:
Eszter TIMÁR (H) I’m enthusiastic about the upcoming Symposium on Collectivity, Responsibility, Performativity for several reasons: I am excited that CEU will host an event which will start the exploration of possible conversations concerning the political role of the performative arts in civic engagement in a world where this role is increasingly made difficult by funding policies in general—and I hope that these conversations will continue and help create a community interested in fostering the culture of collectivity and responsibility and yield future forms of collaboration. Part of my own research focuses on the negative bias of theater in the modern philosophy of democracy according to which the mask represents dissimulation and inauthenticity and is an obstacle for true democracy. Far from accepting this metaphorical use of theater, I’m interested in the ways performance can make us see a general theatricality in our social-emotional life and thereby can urge us to be emotionally invested in changing our own political habits. Especially during a time when representative democracy seems to be in increasing crisis, and especially in
a region where “proper” democracy is not considered to have a strong foothold, I’m interested to see what the performative arts can teach us about ways to strengthen civic engagement and renew our senses of a responsible collectivity.
Sanjay KUMAR (IND) I am primarily interested in the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of theatricality as a heuristic tool especially in reading urban performances. I am currently engaged in exploring the use of theatre/theatricality as a mode of narrative in shaping the discourses about identities in contemporary urban spaces, in particular among refugees, migrants and asylum seekers as they challenge the existing paradigms of belonging and otherness. As a beginning, I facilitated a pilot one semester course -Building Narratives- engaging with refugee/asylum seeker students in Budapest in Spring, 2016. The course explored modes of storytelling, sharing of narratives and was an attempt to build a community through theatrical and performative practices. The symposium on Collectivity, Responsibility and Performativity is of special interest to me as I am thinking through the possibilities of an interface between academic discourses on theatricality and cultural practices especially in the contemporary urban spaces. A more nuanced critique of the role of theatre in civil society is not only relevant but also highly essential in rethinking our current paradigms of participatory democracy and civic engagement.
Perspectives from Practice:
Hester CHILLINGWORTH (GB) In the post-dramatic performance landscape, where characters are rare and a lot of the people we see on stage are ‘themselves’, how does the idea of mask still function? And how can it allow us to push even further into the ‘real’ and into the present moment in performance? Where is the risk, the problem, the danger in hiding behind a mask?
act of suspending the human body from hooks pierced through the skin). It proved to be a powerful experience and it soon turned into a passion, and a tool for my art. At the moment I practice it monthly in a private setting and created several performances, giving it context and a personal point of view. 16.15 – 16.30 Coffee Break
Borbála SZENTE (H/D) Each time I create a new piece, be it a large group project or a smaller solo performance, I am willing to show something very personal and intimate to the public, and I try to keep an open and experimental mind to push myself and my audience towards the unknown. My focus is a mixture of extreme performance art, theatre, bizarre freakshow and contemporary dance with a personal and humorous twist to it, a playful approach to themes I find important in my personal evolution. I haven’t had any formal education. My mind was untouched and pristine before I went to Berlin and got completely perverted by the underground. In the summer of 2014, after my funeral performance I felt an urge to go deeper, go further through my physicality into the unknown. There was a strong desire to open my skin and see my own blood. I decided to try body suspension (the

17.15 – 18.45 Workshop with
Andrew HEFLER (USA/H) When you’re worried about what others might think of you, your personality takes over. This self-consciousness can hinder actors from doing genuine work. Masks are a great way to alleviate this disconnect. Masks seem exotic or strange when first exposed to them. In short time it can be realised that their silence and deliberate physicality reveal very emotional and identifiable states. It is much like any character building process for actors but the audiences’ opportunity to fill in the emotional blanks is exaggerated greatly and the effect becomes truly unique watching a mask. Andrew Hefler will lead a brief introduction into full mask work. As a participant you will examine some of the physical techniques that best suit mask acting, the timing and techniques that activate the audiences’ fantasy and experience. We will look a bit at how too dress them and see some brief improvised scenes with the masks on stage. 18.45 – 19.00 Closing Remarks 19.00 – 19.10

Borbála SZENTE (H/D)
was born in Hungary. Based in Berlin for the last 8 years, she is an experimental artist in the field of performance and body art. After several years of intensive contemporary dance training in Hungary, Denmark, and Berlin, she learned to love and use her body as a tool for self-exploration and source of inspiration. “Living in a female body, it’s limitations and possibilities, the pain and mysterious dimensions of it, and the connection to blood are my main interests. As opposed to the imposed standards of harmless beauty, I see my own physicality and sexuality as a source of power and even as a disturbance agent.” Since 2012 she focuses on realizing her own ideas and build a community of performers, dancers, musicians and best friends, whom she invites for collaboration on a regular basis. Their most recent works: Borbála Szente is dead – The Funeral, The Great Vagina Show, The Big Berlin Dick Festival and Anus – The Show. www.pinabrutal.com
