Influenced by the DIY* philosophy and the Fanzine* magazines coming from the punk movement of the 1980's, we propose a research that explores different ways of communicating dance and movement through printed paper.
Can the dancer be an agent for movement in society? Can her/his art be transmitted beyond the context of the theatre? How to create a political art object that can set you and others in motion? And how to make it cheap and efficient?
We will explore how movement is transferred into a two-dimensional object on paper, and how printed movement can inform the body to dance, to move and to take action.
We will become a Zine printing factory using the festival context to distribute thoughts and ideas. Making a performance out of the Zine, learning a dance, following the image, making a training method out of it, and creating bi-dimensional performances.
Yes! Create your own individual training on the Zine - Share it - Put your ideas out there into the world - Move - Do it yourself!
*Do It Yourself
*Magazines- fast publications of political pamphlets, drawing, writing, photography, art, often low budget, using simple means such as copy machine, photo camera, drawing, typewriting, etc.
