CHANGING SPACES 2009 international in Kooperation mit Hollins University/ Dance Department (Roanoke/Virginia/USA)

…instead of summing up – some con/notations:

1. – 16. August 2009 – residency of Im_flieger (Anita Kaya, Markus Bruckner) @ Hollins University (Virginia/USA)

Diving into the dance world of Hollins: About 40 dancers/choreographers gathered – rehearsing, working on their thesis, participating in classes, giving classes, performing, watching performances and rehearsals, researching at the library, celebrating …..
Within the FANTASY GENERATOR – a self organized ambitious framing – two intense weeks of sharing, of posing and (not) answering questions, of engaging and challenging ourselves…
Soaring and Falling by Diane Shooman, Poetry into Performance by TJ Anderson, Performance, Media & Aesthetics by Jen Boyle and Donna Faye Burchfield’s class Thinking Choreographically – the MFA program offers profound and diverse insights during our stay, it opens up on many levels. Perspectives. Relations. Horizons.
Deeply touched by the quality of the classes and the communication, by the social and political dimension and implications: Hollins: the people, the place, the institution, the instigator – an oasis inside, outside or alongside the conservative local community of Roanoke/Virginia. A particular awareness is raised: Being shocked by the history and recent situation of the Afro-American population that is experienced around here. In daily life. And moreover, as an important issue of the American performing arts as well.
Here, at this intersection: Being part of – nearness and immediacy.

Thanks to all for sharing space and time, and special thanks to Donna Faye Burchfield making this all happen.

The universe unfolds in the body, which is its mirror and its creature. Our era is critical; it has destroyed the old image of the world and as yet has not created another. That is why we do not have a body … (Octavio Paz)
