Dance

Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten have collaborated in their joint search for new dance forms since 1995. They found a strong common interest in the possibility of a dance seen as the expression of a visionary body, with the theatrical space as the external influence on that body. In their performances, dance is regarded as autonomous, and capable of creating its own time and space. Dance is never brought into action as a medium for conveying, nor for dressing a theatrical space. Instead, dance is perceived as possessing an inherent logic, by which it is able to express the intelligence of the body without needing the addition of meaning or explication. All the elements of a performance – the space, the lighting, the sound – are applied throughout the working process with a view to eliciting from the body the impulses that are driving its self-examination.

自1995年开始,Emio Greco便和Pieter C. Scholten开展合作,探索新的舞蹈形式。他们的共同兴趣在合作中逐渐培养起来——舞蹈作为一种想象中身体的表达方式被置于剧场舞台的背景环境下。在他们的表演中,舞蹈极具自主性,甚至可以创造出自己的时间和空间。在他们的概念里,舞蹈不是作为媒介向剧场舞台传递信息的行为,也不是点缀舞台的装饰。舞蹈具有它固有的内在逻辑,从而能够不需要意义和说明地传达出身体的智慧。表演中的所有因素——舞台,灯光,音响——都从身体的内在被激发出来,产生自省,并贯穿表演始终。

After the exchange with South Korea in 2009 this second edition of BEYOND focuses on China and the Chinese contemporary dance and art scene. It will look at different approaches of dance creation from practical as well as theoretical perspectives. The aim is to inform participants on different forms of body preparation and creation through the use of several Asian martial arts, as well as on some of the latest European developments around dance transmission and creation. Do tradition and innovation play a role within the creative process?
