Festival of Contemporary Dance 2013 “Europe Meets Pre-Opening: Wed 25 Sep, 8 pm L’Espace - Festival: 26 – 29 Sep 2013, 8 pm Youth Theater “Europe meets Asia in Contemporary Dance” – The Dance Festival is taking place for the third time and is already a major event in the cultural calendar of Larger and more diverse than in the past two years, this year’s festival includes dance pieces from five countries: In the “pre-opening” at the Institut Francais – L’Espace, a French-Vietnamese group presents the piece Underground. Based on the historical reality of the Cu Chi Tunnels in At the invitation of the Wallonia-Brussels Delegation, Compagnied’Ici P. presents the solo piece Sillon of FréWerbrouck, danced by Sara Sampelayo Fernandez. Accompanied by a fragment of melody, the piece attempts to grasp sounds that capture the identity of a gesture, interrupted by moments of tense emptiness. A journey into weightlessness, alternating between rhythmic and a-rhythmic images. For the first time a Japanese dancer joins the festival, at the invitation of the Japan Foundation. Mikiko Kawamura, making a clean sweep of New Artist Prizes in Japan, shows a delicate yet powerful solo piece named Alphard, made with her inspiration from the same name’s lonely bright star, standing alone in the position of the snake’s heart in the constellation Hydra. With light installations, the young choreographer divides the stage into nine squares, each with a different musical theme. It is like “stepping on the perceptions”, according to the artist’s statement. Also for the first time, Lighting is the title and also the theme of the German-Vietnamese co-production. Igniting a movement in a group of people begins with a small gesture which becomes a great movement – like a fire starting from a tiny spark and burning ever higher. German choreographer Anna Konjetzky, at the invitation of the Goethe Institute, co-founder of the festival, has developed this piece for five European and five Vietnamese dancers. The four-week rehearsal and the premiere of this unusual piece take place in The British Candoco Dance Company, at the invitation of the British Council, present In Translation accompanied by a piano piece by Johann Sebastian Bach. Duets, trios or solos by the dancers arise and unfold from a single motion sequence. This piece conveys dance with a new meaning: one of the artists is a wheelchair user. CandoCo has become internationally known as a professional dance company that integrates disabled and non-disabled dancers.

Over the past fifteen years, BILL MORRISON has created a remarkable series of found-footage films that highlight the ravages of time and decay on the filmed image. These are as much celebrations of the sometimes-frightening beauty of decomposing film as laments for vanishing relics of cinema’s origin. Although not drawing exclusively from early cinema, Morrison specialises in this originary epoch of movie history. On the material level, he appreciates the paradoxical fact that nitrate simultaneously offers what he considers the most perfect film image and is also notoriously unstable. Beyond this, he sees the invention of film as the only precisely locatable birth of an art form, one whose inception is not lost in the mists of time but is more or less contemporary with the emergence of modern man. From the decaying body of film, he extrapolates an analogy for the fate of the human mind and body. As an introduction to his films, BILL MORRISON explains: “The frame pauses briefly before the projector’s lamp, and then moves on. Our lives are accumulations of ephemeral images and moments that our consciousness constructs into a reality. No sooner have we grasped the present, it is relegated to the past, where it only exists in the subjective history of each individual. The images can be thought of as desires or memories: actions that take place in the mind. The film stock can be thought of as the body, that which enables these events to be seen. Like our own bodies, this celluloid is a fragile and ephemeral medium that can deteriorate in countless ways.” DECASIA (2002) DECASIA: THE STATE OF “Bill Morrison’s DECASIA is that rare thing: a movie with avant-garde and universal appeal… the film is a fierce dance of destruction.” – J. Hoberman, THE VILLAGE VOICE “Compelling and disturbing! Swimming symphonies of baroque beauty emerge from corrosive nitrate disintegration as rockets of annihilation demolish cathedrals of reality.” – Kenneth Anger THE MINERS’ HYMNS (2010) Filmmaker and artist BILL MORRISON pries open the past, patching together a hypnotic collage of archival footage to reconstruct Morrison’s mesmerising film unearths vivid images of the coal towns’ heyday, piecing together a lost way of life rich with community and celebration, and marked by intolerably hard and dangerous work. Even without having previous knowledge of the film, a viewer of Morrison’s careful selection will come away understanding the strong and cohesive narrative. These specific miners are from the THE MINERS’ HYMNS is conceived as a collaborative project between Morrison and composer JÓHANN JÓHANNSSON, whose brass-heavy, electronic score is meant to recall the music of the colliery brass bands that are occasionally glimpsed in some of the film’s archival footage (especially during the glorious ending). Jóhannsson’s work, with its rousing crescendos, frequently lends a heroic air to the material, particularly during footage of the miners at work hacking out coal nuggets with their pickaxes or during a union procession that wends into a local cathedral, an impression aided by the gravitas-accentuating use of slow motion.
