EAST-DANCE-ACADEMY
What To Affirm? What To Perform?

hrvatska verzija

Projekt EAST-DANCE-ACADEMY afirmira situacije i načine povijesnog pojavljivanja koreografskog mišljenja u neinstitucionalnim uvjetima. U nedostatku ikakve institucionalne potpore, suvremeni ples se u socijalističkim društvima pojavljivao i probijao kroz različita umjetnička područja i umjetničke prakse. Ples je tako bio “ugošćen” u eksperimentalnom teatru i filmu, glazbi i umjetnosti performansa. Projekt EDA istražuje načine kojima je ples razvijao specifične strategije samoorganizacije, samoedukacije i političke aktivacije.

Reconstructing actions-exhibitions by the Group of Six Authors – maintaining the semantics of public space

presentation

Authors:
Goran Ferčec
Jasna Žmak

The theoretical work on the actions-exhibitions by the Group of Six Authors was started with the intention of conducting the analysis, examination and affirmation of the performative concepts in the public practices of the Group of Six Authors during the seventies. The analysis was aimed at actions-exhibitions performed in the area of the city of Zagreb which also, apart from their conjuction with the public space, had the quality of public performances/operations.
By researching the existing materials (photographs, videos, interviews, catalagoues, written documents, testimonies) and their sistematization, a possibility of reconstructing the original practices of the Group of Six Authors has occurred. This possiblity consists in trying to find a new referential and authorial array in the area of public space and its radical shift that occurred in the period between the seventies and now.
The goal of this project is the archiving and the affirmation of the mentioned materials, using the concept of the May 75 magazine (originally self-published by the Group of Six Authors) which is, in the follow up, offered as raw material to other authors/artists that can broaden this core structure either theoretically or practically by questioning the applicability of the perfomative methods used by the Group of Six Authors in the contemporary context.

Cinematic Modes of Choreography

lecture/screening by Tanja Vrvilo

The author will present her research on choreographic thinking in the field of cinema, based on Croatian narrative and non-narrative film. Her starting points are the fundamental historical and theoretical determinants of film in terms of technology and recording – film as a reflection of scientific and philosophical spirit of the times, in which film and philosophy seek to reflect upon movement together. She has studied the continuity of movement describing the figure (rather than the figure in a given moment) from its prehistory, from chronophotography to the aesthetics of attraction: film choreography between composition, mise-en-scène, deframing, and montage in a broader sense: choreography for the camera and choreography of the camera. It is a non-cineatic and pro-cineatic reality: bodies in a (cineatic) landscape, corporal figurations in narrative and non-narrative film: body as a form, figure, or object (body in the literal sense). It is dance film or film dancing in various types of experimental or avantgarde film: art film, abstract film, trans film, structural or conceptual film.

The author will present two fundamental, but opposed modes of corporality in experimental film: the choreography of everyday and ceremonial (festive) body (Deleuze) in experimental films by Vlado Kristl and Ivan Martinac.
