A DANCING ARCHIVE | Artémise Ploegaerts
A Dancing Archive looks at dancer Elisabeth Schilling’s personal background, experience and dance memories. She was born near Trier in Germany and first trained as a ballet dancer. She is now living and working throughout Europe as a professional contemporary dancer. Elisabeth has the particularity of working on embodying, disembodying, and re-embodying choreographic works and dance practices. She is full of traces that allow her to subjectively create movement material reflecting on a complex combination of discipline (or ‘authorial violence’ as André Lepecki writes) and personal choice-making and (re)interpretation. She constantly moves between shaping and being shaped. Through the use of video documentation and live performance, audiences are invited to dive into the merging of past and present. It is whilst improvising or re-performing movement material based on different memories from her experience as a dancer that her body multiplies on stage. Those different media have allowed us to witness changes and sameness in order to try and apprehend the complexity, implicity and subtlety of power.

Concept and choreography: Artémise Ploegaerts | Artistic collaborator, film and visuals: Louis Hothothot | Performance and movement research: Elisabeth Schilling | Light: Petyr Veenstra |  Sound: extracts from The four seasons Antonio Vivaldi, Le Corsaire Adolphe Adam | Support: Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, Oostblok, SPAM!, TUFA

The Mood(s) Team has happily celebrated a successful premiere and has now received an exceptional review in the newspaper ‘Das Wort’.

We are celebrating the première of Anu Sistonen’s new piece Mood(s) this week in Luxembourg. It can be seen in the Grand Théâtre on 29th / 30th November 2016.

Finish choreographer Anu Sistonen is a regular at the Grand Théâtre and Mood(s) is her fourth creation to be presented here. Spanning a career of 15 years, her creative journey has been marked by a deep attention given to the interaction between choreographic language and musical language.

Her latest creation Mood(s) is a piece that will combine and integrate the ebb and flow of human emotions. Sistonen’s choreography is passionate, sensitive and moving and features five dancers, singer Stephany Ortega and percussionist Sven Kiefer. Evoking our loneliness and moments of life together, it works towards a succession of phases of individuality and of collective expansion. Sistonen found inspiration for Mood(s) in the works of photographer Miikka Heinonen, in contemporary vocal music and in the fascinating instrument, the marimba.

Elisabeth is ver excited to be presenting her photographic exhibition STADTKÖRPER at Dance Live Festival Aberdeen throughout October. More information on: httpss://www.dancelivefestival.co.uk/exhibition

STADTKÖRPER

The project STADTKÖRPER was inspired by the architectural city scape of Berlin, which I had the chance of exploring during a stay in 2013. Even though certain parts of the city are marked by new constructions, chains and restorations, the historic traces of the city are omnipresent and hard to overlook. The way in which the energy of these traces, their heaviness and their decay manifests itself in the everyday presence inspired me to try to capture them in the interplay between dance and photography. Dance, an artform of presence, unites with the still image of photography; thus atmospheres, expressions, shapes and impressions are being captured.

The working process was from the very beginning conceived as a collaboration with various different photographers. In all this, I have been particularly interested in the individual approaches of the subject movement, but also in the diverse perspectives on buildings, the city scape, and especially their framing and composition. How does the still image of photography capture what seems to inevitably escape it?

The exhibition shows a selection of images that have been created throughout this project.

 

In September, Elisabeth will be in residency together with artists William BilWa Costa and Jasmin Schaitl to create a new work called pan-oscillate that will premiere at WUK Vienna in December 2016.

The residency will take place at BAINS Connective in Brussels.

There will be shows of ‘tasks’ on September 24 and October 15 at Bains Connective Brussels & Szenne Art Lab Brussel.
