This workshop is a great opportunity to work with Frank van de Ven, an enduring and vital proponent of Body Weather.

The workshop will be divided into morning and afternoon sessions which can be taken separately or together:

Part A ​​ 10.00 – 13.00 Body Weather training
Body Weather is a comprehensive approach to training and performance that investigates the intersections of bodies and their environments. Bodies are conceived not as fixed and separate entities but as constantly changing – just like the weather. Weather is seen as a complex system of forces and influences coursing through and beyond bodies and the world. As a training, Body Weather is of relevance to anyone interested in exploring the body and physical presence and this workshop is suited to dance, theatre & movement practitioners and artists of varied backgrounds.

Part B​​ 14.00 -17.00 Solo Performance Development
In the afternoon we all work on our own performances. This can include movement, text, images and objects. Exchange between participants is part of the process as well as guidance and feed-back by the workshop leader. On the Sunday evening, the work in progress will be shown (not obligatory) to an invited audience.

The term & philosophical basis for Body Weather was founded in the early 1980’s by dancer Min Tanaka and further developed by Laboratories worldwide. Frank van de Ven was a member of Tanaka’s Maijuku Performance Company in Japan, from 1983-1991. With Katerina Bakatsaki he leads Body Weather Amsterdam, a platform for training and performance.

The owl was a baker’s daughter, Extract

A choreographic exploration of water, female hysteria, and creative passivity, in the context of the performer’s own biography and the true story of a woman who became famous while performing under hypnosis.

Irene Accardo is an Italian physical performer based in Berlin, who explores the topics of storytelling, identity, and heritage, through movement research and questioning the spectators’ perception of time and space.

Hand Tool Interface

Fabian Reimann
Die Interfaces, beipielesweise in diesem Moment, sind eine Tastatur, eine Computermouse oder ein Touchscreen. Bei genauerer Betrachtung können die meisten Nutzer kaum sagen, was damit gemacht wird. Und eben bei genauerer Betrachtung habe ich mich gefragt, wo und wie wir mit Interfaces umgehen, nur diese nicht so benennen würden.
Diese Frage stellte ich mir bei der Arbeit an dem Buch “Another Earth Catalog”, nachdem im Whole Earth Catalog “access to tools” der Untertitel war. Also genau genommen stellte ich mir die Frage, was schafft mir den Zugang zu einem Werkzeug? Zwischen der Arbeit ausführenden Hand und dem Werkzeug selbst befindet sich ein Gegenstand, der sowohl für die Form der Hand als der des Werkzeugs angefertigt ist. Als solche Dinge habe ich die Reihe “Hand Tool Interface” in der Art einer ethnologischen Sammlung
http://www.fabianreimann.de/Hand-Tool-Interface.185.0.html

»Hand Tool Interface« is a group of sculptures, made in Kontext of the exhibition “Another Earth”. Working about the »Whole Earth Catalog« this phrase frequently Pops up. Reflecting this Subtitel of the catalog, I took ›access to tools‹ literally, thinking about the actual access to a tool which is provided by some thing formed for the human hand as well as for the tool. Likewise I chose to work over some tool handles and present them like in an ethnological or prehistorical exhibition.

TOOLS a handjob

„Every time when an organ – or a function – frees itself from an old obligation, it invents something new. When the paw or hand is freed from the function of support of walking, it changes; it becomes the grasping organ and, finally reforms as a tool“ (Michel Serres).

Pink confinement

Concept, coreography: Marie Rechsteiner
Performers: Frida Yngvesson, Laura Giuntoli, Marie Rechsteiner

The instant choreography series „15 Minutes” is thought to be a cosy event for performers to get to know each other and exchange with the audience their personal understanding of the idea of instant choreography within a 15 minutes improvisation.

Each participant can decide what topic, tool or format to use: no further curatorial frame is given besides indeed the time frame.

In this way practitioners coming from different disciplines can open up their process or simply explore tools or improvisation-strategies in front of an audience in a relaxed and playful way.

The event takes place in the collective space GARAGE in Lichtenberg, inside the Fahrbereitschaft compound and will be held every second month.

The artists will be invited to exchange and warm up in the space three hours prior to the event and can decide on the spot how they want to present their performance, possibly choosing spontaneously for a duet, a solo, or a group improvisation as well as deciding for the evening schedule with the other participants. A basic light setting and sound-system is available.

The first of this event-series will be 15th March. Starting at 20:00 in GARAGE involving members of the collective GARAGE and Guests. This time performing: Maria Walser, Dave Hall, Saskia Oidtmann, Heini Nukari and Julia Ketzmerick.

Organised by Irene Accardo

Duration of the event, approximately 1½ including a break. Suggested donation of 5 euros that will go directly to the artists.

To participate to further events please contact Irene Accardo
littlestrategies@gmail.com, “RE: 15 minutes series”
Please write short (one page max.) about your interest in wanting to open up your practice through improvisation, e.g. what research you are on at the moment, if you have already taken part into impro-events and what is you relationship to improvisation regarding your work.

As part of the 10, Lange Nacht der Bilder, Garage is going to be opening up, sharing performances and showing the new space.
