CLOSING THE FIRST CHOREOGRAPHY LAB


Final Performances

The closing performances of the first Kinitiras Choreography Lab took place on the 5th & 6th of April 2011 to full house-audiences at the Studio. 

Over two nights, nine events were presented which engaged with a wide and varied range of concerns centered around redefinitions and re-articulations of choreographic practice today. The events ranged from performances of open-interdisciplinary scores (Io Anagnostaki), experiments on performing-presence and re-engagements with audience (Androniki Marathaki, Anthi Theofilidi), solo works redefining authenticity in performance (Vitoria Kotsalou, Emmanouela Korki, Rena Konstantaki, Evgenia Sigalou) and works exploring interdisciplinary dialogues (Maria Katsipataki, Olga Halkidou).

Throughout the next weeks, the participants will finalise archiving their works and will post the final reflections of their process in their individual pages.  The commitment to archiving and documentation as a means to share the variety of ideas and approaches that emerged throughout the ten weeks  is an explicit aspect of the project. There is no rule as to how the documentation will be done, participants are free to choose how they want to present the ideas, thoughts, reflections on the whole experience --from the personal and poetic, to the more analytical and critical, it may be only in words, diagrams, photos, videos.

We will also be posting a short video of the final projects to give visitors to the site a 'taste' of the final outcome...

Keep watching, things are evolving in time!  

KINITIRAS CHOREOGRAPHY LAB  now moves on to a new season, the summer project IN FOCUS: SOLO PROJECTS, with a new group of international artists who will come to lead and mentor the projects. Applications are now open, please follow the link here for information and application form.
