Namen und GeschichtenWortelkamp, Isa 12 November 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Der französische Choreograph Jérôme Bel setzt in seinem biographischen Zyklus von 2004-2009 das Verhältnis von Werk und Autor, von Choreographie und Choreograph in Szene, vor deren Hintergrund die Geschichten und Namen des Tanzes anders lesbar werden: Die Stücke Bels tragen als Titel die Namen der Tänzer, die in ihnen auftreten. Die Geschichte der Namensgebung in der Arbeit Bels ist auch eine Geschichte, in der sein Name als Choreograph und Autor verschwindet, wenn er erscheint und erscheint, wenn er verschwindet. Von diesem Grenz-Ort aus wäre jene Geste zu befragen, die Jérome Bel vollzieht, wenn er den Stücken, für die sein Name steht, als Titel den Namen der Tänzer gibt, die in ihnen auftreten.

Des(armando) jogos corpo-vocais: experiências com atoresbailarinos / (Des) constructed vocal-body Plays: experiences with dancers-actorsPereira, Daiana Felix 29 October 2018 (has links)
A presente pesquisa, de natureza teórico-prático-artística, propõe ampliar os diálogos entre as Artes da Música, da Dança e da Atuação, pelo viés da Técnica Vocal, para atoresbailarinos. A metodologia teve como finalidade buscar um instrumental coerente, claro e elaborado, em que foi possível introduzir questões de cunho teórico para o desafio da prática. Para tanto, foram pesquisadas formas metodológicas que abarcassem minhas experiências pessoais e vivências por meio da Autoetnografia, do Método Descritivo e das Entrevistas Semi-Estruturadas. Tendo como tema a voz na sua multiplicidade ao integrar novas formas na cena artística, foi constituído um espaço para debate e reflexão sobre o fenômeno vocal e sua potencialidade criativa, através dos encontros com os integrantes do Laboratório de Pesquisa e Estudos em Tanz Theatralidades (Lapett), grupo sediado na Escola de Comunicações e Artes da USP e dirigido por Sayonara Pereira. As narrativas descritas pelos integrantes do Lapett, bem como as entrevistas realizadas com quatro atoresbailarinos atuantes na cena artística de São Paulo, ajudam a tecer voz, dança e teatro, trazendo informações preciosas para a tese. O processo experimental realizado com o grupo Lapett, pelos jogos cênicos e brincadeiras cantadas, mostrou, na prática, a técnica vocal, e especificou as relações entre movimento, respiração e canto. Além disso, este estudo enfatizou a musicalidade para a cena, a partir da improvisação e jogos ligados à consciência e ao uso do corpo como centro da ação musical, dialogando com elementos da Técnica de Alexander e da pedagogia de Koellreutter. / The present research, from theoretical- practical- artistic nature, proposes to expand the dialogue between the Arts of Music, Dance and Performance, through Vocal Technique, for dancers- actors. The methodology had intended to get a coherent, clear and elaborated instrumental, in which was possible to introduce theoretical issues for the challenge of the practice. To do so, were researched methodological ways to englobe my personal experiences and living through Autoethnography, from the Descriptive Method and the Semi-Structured Interviews. Taking as its theme the voice in its multitude by integrating new forms in the artistc scene, was set up a space for debate and reflection on the vocal phenomenon and its creative potentiality, through meetings with the members of the Research and Studies Laboratory in Tanz Theatralidades (Lapett), a group based in the School of Communication and Arts of the University of São Paulo, directed by Sayonara Pereira. The narratives described by the members of Lapett, as well as the interviews made with four (4) acting dancers- actors in São Paulo art scene, helped to weave voice, dance and theatre, bringing valuable information for the thesis. The experimental procedure performed with the Lapett group, through scenic games and sung plays, showed, in practice, the vocal technique and specified the relationships between movement, breathing and singing. In addition, this study emphasized the musicality to the scene, from the improvisation and games related to consciousness and the use of the body as a center of the musical action, dialoguing whith elements of the Alexander Technique and pedagogy of Koellreutter.

Сценография contemporary dance на материале постановок театра «Провинциальные танцы» : магистерская диссертация / Scenography of contemporary dance on the material of productions of the Provincial dances theatreКопосова, Л. В., Koposova, L. V. January 2018 (has links)
Актуальность исследования обусловлена недостаточным вниманием к сценографии театра современного танца в России. Объектом данной работы являются особенности художественного решения пространства contemporary dance. Предметом – анализ элементов структурирования пространства постановки на примере Екатеринбургского театра Провинциальные танцы, одного из наиболее профессиональных и интересных коллективов в области современной хореографии в России. Неоднозначность трактовок сценографии различных форм dance-театра обусловлена изменением характеристик взаимодействия со зрителем, многовариантностью постановочных пространств, особенностями пластического языка танца, обращающегося к до-рациональному, до-вербальному началу человека. Изменение понимания телесности актера и объектно-субъектных связей постановки, а также сложность и нерасчленимость составляющих элементов постановок contemporary dance позволяют проследить линию соответствия скульптуры и пластического танца, а также особенности взаимодействия этого направления dance-театра с другими формами искусства, объекты которых часто являются неотъемлемой составляющей постановки. / The research is relevant due to the lack of attention to the scenography of Russian contemporary dance. The subject matter of the study are specifics of the art and design of contemporary dance spaces. The scope of the study is an analysis of elements of space structuring in performances by the example of Provincial Dances Theatre (Ekaterinburg) as one of the most professional and interesting groups of contemporary choreography in Russia. Scenography of different forms of dance theatres is interpreted ambiguously due to change of characteristics of arrangement with viewers, multivariance of performance spaces, specific of dance language that appeals to prerational, preverbal human nature. Understanding of artist corporality changes, as well as relations between actors and objects in performance. The elements of contemporary dance performances are complex and indivisible. All of these allows tracing the interactions between sculpture and dance, also the interactions between contemporary dance and other art forms that are often integral to a performance.

[pt] Esta tese de doutorado visa investigar determinados aspectos estéticos e estruturais presentes em produções artísticas que abordam a temática da identidade trans, num atravessamento com questões de raça e classe social. As reflexões teórico-críticas de intelectuais como Paul Preciado e bell hooks fundamentam a discussão acerca dos sistemas de opressão que atuam sobre o convívio dos corpos considerados dissidentes no imaginário de construção, mas também de sua circulação nas cidades. Para isso, esta tese toma um conjunto heterogêneo de figuras monstruosas como a sereia, o anão e o fantasma para questionar as definições de humanidade e a experiência artístico-sensível do exílio através da vivência no processo laboratorial de criação realizado pelo Projeto Genus Radix (numa iniciativa do Museu Nacional Centro de Artes Reina Sofía). No itinerário que atravessou essa pesquisa e esse pesquisador - Argentina, Brasil e Espanha -, atua a metáfora do monstro como um disparador de questões vinculadas à arte e à vida, que instiga a reflexão sobre uma humanidade por vir. As reverberações das histórias dos personagens conceituais e reais elencados nesta pesquisa visam delinear e ressaltar especificidades que corroboram para a construção de uma narrativa estética e/ou performática que suscita a sobrevivência de novas formas de vida num espaço comum. / [es] Esta tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo investigar ciertos aspectos estéticos y estructurales presentes en las producciones artísticas que abordan el tema de la identidad trans, en un cruce con cuestiones de raza y clase social. Las reflexiones teórico-críticas de intelectuales como Paul Preciado y Bell Hooks basan la discusión sobre los sistemas de opresión que actúan ante a la relación de los cuerpos disidentes en el imaginario de las ciudades. Para ello, esta tesis toma un conjunto heterogéneo de “figuras monstruosas” como la sirena, el enano y el fantasma para cuestionar las definiciones de humanidad y la experiencia artístico-sensible del exilio a través del experimentado en el proceso de creación llevado a cabo por el laboratorio del Proyecto Genus Radix (en una iniciativa del Museo Nacional Centro de Artes Reina Sofía). En el itinerario de la investigación y del investigador - Argentina, Brasil y España-, actúa la metáfora del monstruo como detonante de cuestiones relacionadas con el arte y la vida que señalan una humanidad por venir. Las reverberaciones de las historias de los personajes conceptuales y reales enumerados en esta investigación tienen como objetivo delinear y resaltar especificidades que corroboran la construcción de una narrativa estética y / o performance que promueve la supervivencia de nuevas formas de vida en un espacio común.

Between Precarity and Vitality: Downtown Dance in the 1990sWanner, Buck January 2021 (has links)
This dissertation examines experimental dance in New York City in the 1990s. Earlier periods of American concert dance have received significant scholarly attention to the historical, political, and aesthetic aspects of dance practice. Moreover, certain periods of modern dance — especially the 1930s and the 1960s — have been analyzed as moments of significant change, and the artists that emerged from the Judson Dance Theater in particular have held a significant place in the theorizing and historicizing of dance in the United States. However, experimental dance practices of the early 21st century demonstrate dramatically different aesthetics, approaches, and circumstances of production than those of earlier periods, including their Judson forebears. This project argues for understanding the 1990s as a period of significant change for dance, one with continuing resonance for the decades that follow.This project uses the term "downtown dance" to situate experimental dance in New York City as a community of practitioners, rather than as a particular set of aesthetic or artistic practices. Each of the four chapters focuses on an aspect in this period that would define how dance looked, how dancers practiced, and what shaped the artistic values and priorities of this community.
The first chapter presents a history of the dance-service organization Movement Research. Tracing the history of the organization from its founding in 1978 through the establishment of its most influential programs in the 1990s — including the Movement Research Performance Journal and the performance series Movement Research at the Judson Church — the chapter locates Movement Research as a central entity in building the community and shaping theaesthetics of downtown dance. The second chapter examines the effects of the AIDS crisis on dance in the 1990s. As AIDS entered its second decade, it collided with and magnified downtown dance's complex relationship with emotion. This chapter draws on scholarship of AIDS' relationship to visual art, theater, and activism, as well as close readings of several works — by artists including Donna Uchizono, Neil Greenberg, John Jasperse, RoseAnne Spradlin, Jennifer Monson, and DD Dorvillier — most not generally understood as "AIDS dances," to argue that AIDS' impact generated a fundamental shift in the role of emotion in downtown dance.
The third chapter examines how shifts in arts funding in the 1990s connected to a major restructuring in production models for dance. This chapter connects the history of the modern dance company with both aesthetic and economic developments over the course of the 20th century, arguing that the company should be understood as a combined economic-aesthetic system. Furthermore, the chapter demonstrates the new model for dance production that began to take hold in the 1990s in the wake of widespread funding and economic shifts: the project model. Teasing out the complex web of funding for dance, this chapter makes extensive use of dance periodicals; several funding trend analyses from organizations including Dance/USA, National Endowment for the Arts, Dance/NYC, and private corporate and foundation reports; and the archives of the presenting institution Danspace Project. The final chapter looks at how the shifts in economic models for dance discussed in the previous chapter connected to changes in training and bodily technique of dancers and performers. Specifically investigating the history of "release technique," this chapter examines how attitudes toward technique and training in downtown dance in the 1990s shifted the connection between movement practices and creative output, reconceiving the role of the dancer in the dancer-choreographer relationship.

Seis espaços: possível referência para o estudo e a construção do corpo cênico / Seis espaços: possível referência para o estudo e a construção do corpo cênicoNoronha, Patricia de Azevedo 12 May 2009 (has links)
Nesta dissertação apresenta-se uma reflexão acerca do Espaço Pessoal, Espaço Parcial, Espaço Total, Espaço Social, Espaço Cênico e a espacialidade Ma, Tendo como bases a extensa bibliografia e a também extensa experiência artística e pedagógica da autora como atriz-dançarina, professora, pesquisadora, diretora e coreógrafa. A dissertação visa servir de ponto de partida para que alunos e professores em Artes Cênicas pensem a abordagem do corpo cênico em sala de aulas e em criações artísticas. No início há definições de conceitos a respeito do corpo, assim como o estudo sobre abordagens teóricas significativas, tais como a teoria do Corpomídia e a Teoria do Corpo Sem Órgãos, para que sirvam como referência compartilhada com a autora, a fim de que se possa seguir para a reflexão acerca dos espaços propostos. A seguir há a apresentação de cada espaço. Ao se referir à espacialidade Ma, pela sua complexidade, já que se trata de um conceito da cultura japonesa de difícil compreensão pelos ocidentais, dadas as diferenças que existem entre as culturas ocidental e oriental, a autora se dedica ao estudo detalhado da tese de Doutorado de Michiko Okano, Ma: Entre-espaço da Comunicação no Japão Um estudo acerca dos diálogos entre Ocidente e Oriente, relacionandoa com as Artes Cênicas para, ao final, se esforçar em apontar espacialidades Ma nas montagens cênicas O Olho do Tamanduá, com direção de Takao Kusuno, e Lucíola cena 1, com direção da própria autora, sendo que em ambas ela participa como atrizdançarina- criadora. São mencionados especificamente os trabalhos de Rudolf Laban, Michiko Okano, Patrícia Stokoe, Eugênio Barba, Takao Kusuno, Antonin Artaud, Hideki Matsuka, Akira Kasai, Ko Murobushi, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Gattari, Helena Katz, Christine Greiner, Cassiano Quilice. / This dissertation presents a reflection on the Personal Space, Partial Space, Total Space, Social Space, Scenic Space and the Ma spatiality, having as basis the extensive bibliography and the extensive artistic and pedagogical experience of the author as an actress-dancer, teacher, researcher, director and choreographer. The dissertation aims to function as a starting point for Performing Arts pupils and teachers to think bodys scenic approach in classroom and in artistic creation. At the beginning there are definitions of concepts about the body and the study of major theoretical approaches, such as the Corpomedia and Body Without Organs theories, which serve as a shared reference to both author and reader and define a way of reflection about the spaces mentioned. Then we have the presentation of each space. As it concerns Ma Spatiality, because of its complexity and also because of the fact that it is a Japanese cultural concept of difficult understanding (concerning the differences between Western and Eastern cultures) the author engaged herself in the detailed study of the doctoral thesis of Michiko Okano, Ma: an inter-space of communication in Japan - a study on the dialogues between East and West. At the end, the author links it to Performing Arts and focuses on appointing the presence of Ma spatiality on Takao Kusunos work O Olho do Tamanduá, in which she has participated as an actress-dancer-creator, and Lucíola cena 1, directed and performed by the author herself. The work of Rudolf Laban, Michiko Okano, Patricia Stokoe, Eugenio Barba, Antonin Artaud, Kusuno Takao, Hideki Matsuka, Akira Kasai, Ko Murobushi, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Gattari, Helena Katz, Christine Greiner and Cassiano Quillice are specifically mentioned.

Live Electronic Arts und Intermedia : die 1960er Jahre / Live Electronic Arts and Intermedia : the 1960s. On Performance and Contemporary Technology, Cybernetic Models and Minimalistic Art StrategiesBüscher, Barbara 03 August 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Die in der Geschichte der Künste als Neoavantgarde der frühen 1960er Jahre bezeichneten Entwicklungen der Grenzüberschreitung und Prozessorientierung bilden in exemplarischen Analysen das Zentrum des Gegenstandsbereichs dieser Arbeit. Sie umfassen sowohl die grundlegenden Innovationen, die - von John Cages Ideen und Konzeptionen angestoßen – die Arbeit der Komponisten/Performer der Live Electronic Music prägten, wie die Erweiterung der künstlerischen Materialien und Veränderung der Verfahren der Bildenden Kunst seit Happening und Fluxus. Sie umfassen die minimalistischen Verschiebungen des Verständnisses von Körper-Bewegung und Objekten in der Tanz/Performance vor allem der New Yorker Judson Dance Group und die performative Erforschung der Grundlagen von Kino/Film-Wahrnehmung im Expanded Cinema.
An diesen drei Bereichen wird eine doppelte historische Bewegung aufgezeigt: zum einen die des Durchstreichens, Verschiebens, Ersetzens konventionalisierter Parameter und Wert-Hierarchien; zum anderen eine durch den Entwicklungsschub technischer Medien und deren Auswirkungen auf Gesellschaft und Wahrnehmung angestoßenes Interesse an der Verbindung von Kunst und Medien. Eine wichtige Schnittstelle dieser Entwicklungen manifestiert sich in den Aufführungen der inzwischen legendären Nine Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, die 1966 in New York stattfanden. Die Analyse dieses Ereignisses, des Arbeitsprozesses, der ihm vorausging und an dem in gleicher Weise Künstler und Ingenieure beteiligt waren, wie der einzelnen Performances bildet einen Ausgangspunkt dieser Untersuchung.
Dass Systemtheorie und Kybernetik als Denkmodelle für die Kunstproduktion erschlossen werden sollten, lässt sich nicht nur anhand der Manifestationen dieses Ereignisses zeigen, sondern auch anhand der Analyse zeitgenössischer Diskurse im Kunstfeld nachweisen. Live Electronic Arts heißt in diesem Zusammenhang: das unmittelbar (aktuell) vorgeführte Handeln mit technischen Medien in einer performativen Anordnung. Diese Verbindung wird von den Künstlern selbst als Mensch/Maschine-Kopplung verstanden – der Konstruktionsprozess wird zu einem wesentlichen Bestandteil künstlerischer Strategie. Der Einbezug zeitgenössischer Technologien wird so nicht als Frage nach der Neuartigkeit von Darstellungsmodi relevant, sondern als eine Frage nach Prozessen des Regelns, Steuerns und der Signalübertragung (control&communication) – also nach den Prozessen, die das Agieren mit ihnen strukturieren.
Ausgehend von den Nine Evenings und der an ihnen beteiligten Künstler – Musiker, Tänzer und Choreographen sowie Bildende Künstler und Filmemacher – widmet sich die Arbeit in detaillierter Untersuchung den Versuchsreihen der einzelnen Künstler, denen die experimentellen Performances zugerechnet werden können. Sie zeigt für alle drei Bereiche – Live Electronic Music, die performativen Praktiken der Judson Dance Group und Expanded Cinema – unter welchen Bedingungen, ein Interesse und die Arbeit an der Kopplung von Körper-Bewegung und technischen Systemen entstand. / The developments of transgression and process-orientation, which in art history are designated as the Neo-Avantgarde of the early 1960s, form the central subject of this text with its exemplary analyses. They involve the fundamental innovations, which - initiated by John Cage's ideas and concepts - characterised the work of the composers/performers of Live Electronic Music, as well as the expansion of artistic materials and the modification of art's techniques since Happening and Fluxus. They also cover the minimalistic shifts in the understanding of bodily movement and objects above all in the dance/performance of the New York based Judson Dance Group and the performative investigation of the foundations of cinema/film perception in the Expanded Cinema.
A twofold historical movement is illustrated in these three areas: on the one hand, the movement of cancellation, postponement, substitution of conventional parameters and value hierarchies; on the other, one of interest in the connection between art and the media triggered by the thrust of development in the technological media and their effects on society and perception. An important point of intersection of these developments manifests itself in the performances of the since legendary Nine Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, which took place in New York in 1966. The analysis of this event, of the process of work that preceded it and which involved artists and engineers in equal measure, as well as of the individual performances forms the basis of this investigation.
That system theory and cybernetics should be developed as a working hypothesis for art production can be demonstrated not only through manifestations of this event, but also through contemporary discourses in the field of art. In this context, Live Electronic Arts means the immediately (currently) performed action in a perfomative configuration using technological media. The artists themselves understand this relation as an interconnection of human being and machine. The process of construction becomes an essential component of the artistic strategy. The inclusion of contemporary technologies becomes relevant not as a question about the novelty of the modes of representation, but as a question about the processes of structuring, regulating and the transmission of signals (control & communication), thus about processes that structure the performance with these technologies.
Beginning with the Nine Evenings and the participating artists (musicians, dancers, choreographers, as well as visual artists and film makers), this text provides a detailed investigation into the series of experiments of the individual artists, to which the experimental performances can be attributed. It demonstrates for all three areas (Live Electronic Music, the perfomative practices of the Judson Dance Group, and Expanded Cinema) under what circumstances interest in and work on the interconnection of bodily movement and technological systems arose.
