[contemporary dance] Onformance (Nastup) / Matija Ferlin / february 4 and 5 at 8pm / Zagrebačko kazalište mladih, Zagreb “Delusional perhaps but Constellation always hopes we are up to more than just providing popular entertainment, an idea occasionally reinforced when practitioners of artforms outside of music seek to collaborate with our artists.[...] Our humble projects perhaps receive no greater commendation than when they are married with contemporary dance artists [...].” Don Wilkie from Constellation Records
[premiere] The No-body Project / Anna Nowicka / 17. December / Ljubljana Dance Theatre, Ljubljana “Sonzai-Kan” means in Japanese: “to sense a presence of something or somebody”. What happens if the sight tells you are meeting a human, but your senses cannot recognize a human being? What determines if one is alive? And quite the opposite: how does a body without life act?
Andrew Hewitt: Choreography is a way of thinking about the relationship of aesthetics to politics Frakcija: The key concept and the title of your book is “social choreography” and you use it in relation to both dance and the aesthetic of everyday movement. How do you frame that concept and how is it related to choreography as artistic practice?
Andrew Hewitt: My methodology of “social choreography” is rooted in an attempt to think the aesthetic as it operates at the very base of social experience.
THE EMANCIPATED SPECTATOR I gave to this talk the title: «the emancipated spectator». As I understand it, a title is always a challenge. It sets forth the presupposition that an expression makes sense, that there is a link between separate terms, which also means between concepts, problems and theories which seem at first sight to bear no direct relation on each other.
FROM BIOPOLITICS TO NECROPOLITICS Intentions of this lecture are: to situate from which point I am talking and to bring into the story new positions of theory, knowledge and analysis; to differentiate in- between biopolitics and necropolitics; to take into an analysis an art performative project produced in Slovenia in order to see if contemporary art services necropolitics; to see the linking of necropolitics and neoliberal capitalism and the relation toward institutions of art and culture...
A LECTURE [about improvisation as performance] This will be about the conditioning and the conditions for improvisation as performance. I won’t talk about improvisation as a technique to create new movement, or as a technique to free the body from habitual movement patterns, or as a technique in contact improvisation to explore movement by physical contact.
TOWARDS THE TECHNO-HUMANITIES: A Manifesto THE CREATIVE ASPECT OF THE HUMANITIES has not yet found its recognition in the established classification and methodology of scientific disciplines. Are the humanities a purely scholarly field, or should there be some active, constructive supplement to them? We know that technology serves as the practical extension ("application") of natural sciences and politics as the extension of social sciences.
THE PASSION OF PROCEDURALISM One of the first comments I could call out after the performance of The Theatre of Repetitions was: finally! Finally an event where music and theatre engage on an autonomous third plane of philosophy, saved from the obsessive search for a suitable Musik+Theater relationship whereby the capacity for representation in music traditionally is weighed against theatrical staging.
