The WSIS 2003/04: Winter Survival Information Service for dance folks
Thank god the Big Cold does not keep people from organizing workshops, symposia, contest and festivals. To prepare ourselves and you for the cold, grey season we gathered a pile of offers from around the world for dancers and dance lovers.
Starting with some workshops Italy is the place to be: Felix Ruckert, Jean Emile, Terry Fox, Zzumi Shuto a. o. are teaching at the Centro Mulitmediale die Danza Contemporana in Naples Dec. 27 - Jan. 5. while Contact Improvisation practitioners gather in Orvieto for the freedansorvieto festival featuring workshops, jams and performanes with Daniel Lepkoff, Jess Curtis, Benno Voorham a. o. Jan. 2 - 6. tanzfabrik Berlin also does its best to give your body a good start into the new year: a mixed workshop program (Modern Dance, composition, Body-Mind-Centering, Contemporary Technique etc.) are taught by Toula Limnaios, Rosalind Crisp, Rachael Lincoln a. o. Dec 27 - Jan 4.
"Persons in clothes of poetry" is the wonderful name of a workshop lead by the exceptional actor Simon Versnel (member of The Peeping Tom Collective who performed "Le Jardin" in front of enthusiastic audience in Vienna at ImPulsTanz 2003, for a videoclip go to the Videodatabase) in the frame of a symposium called "The aesthetics of vulnerability". Along with Versnel also Milli Bitterli and Raimund Hoghe will take part in this symposium held in Zurich Jan. 16 - 18 and organized by the Insitut für Theorie der Kunst und Gestaltung.
Those of you who are of the long term planing kind will not be bored either: 7a*11d, the International Festival for Performance Art taking place in Toronto Oct. 20 - 31, 2004 is calling for proposals of works "falling outside the traditional boundaries of established genres of theatre, dance, music etc" (deadline is Jan 30, 2004). You can check their archive of previous festivals and downlowd the application form at www.7a-11d.ca. If all this does not get you going there are 400 events more to be checked in the EventDataBase....
