Время Свободного Творчества

Мы предусмотрели специальное время дня, когда Вы можете сконцентрироваться на том, что для Вас важно на данном этапе Фестиваля.
Возможно, вам захочется:

- Уединиться, переварить полученный опыт, записать свои мысли...
- Поговорить с кем-то, поделиться своими переживаниями...
- Провести небольшую лабораторию (например, отработать то, чему вы научились сегодня на интенсиве)...
- Сделать или получить бодиворк...
- Устроить видео- или фотосесссию, заснять видеоперформанс...
- Пойти на танцевальное свидание...
- Назначить и провести дискуссию по интересующему вас вопросу: поделиться своим мнением и узнать, что думают другие...
- Устроить спонтанный перформанс для случайных зрителей...
- Выступить, заранее объявив о месте и времени вашего перформанса (опробовать какие-то идеи, собрать обратную связь, просто проявить творчество)...
- Подготовиться к предстоящему вечернему перформансу

-
Cоединиться с природой (искупаться в реке/озере или погулять в лесу)

- Просто отдохнуть и поспать...

Расслабиться и придумать что-нибудь…

Если вы хотите, чтобы кто-то присоединился к вам в том, что вы будете делать завтра во Время Свободного Исследования, просто повесьте объявление на стене в разделе "Creative Time", или объявите в столовой во всеуслышание. Если вам важно, сколько человек к вам присоединится, не стесняйтесь позаботиться об этом любым подходящим для вас способом! 

 Если вам нужна поддержка, вы можете обращаться к учителям, организаторам, друзьям и другим участникам фестиваля.

PERFORMANCE RESEARCH labs

The performance research laboratories are meant to become a basis and tool for participants who want to take on the opportunity to perform at the two performances that are happening at the festival site. A lab can be the chance to carry out one small project with a constant group of people or to investigate different themes around performance each day. You can participate in laboratories one or more days.
We would like to create the freedom for the participants to develop ideas and find ways to use them in performance. We want to invite everybody, participating in the festival, students as well as teachers, to propose their ideas and questions for a performance research lab. Ideas could contain how improvisational forms and contact improvisation are a performance art. Including possible themes like trio, site specific, spontaneous composition, how do we communicate within an improvised piece, working with props, the use of voice, sound, music, texts/poetry, relationship to choreography...
These labs can happen only once or continue for several days, depending on demand. People, who feel confident about facilitating group work and enjoy it, are welcome to offer themselves as facilitators, even if they don’t have a personal performance research theme that they want to investigate.

Labs will start on the first day of the festival. Themes will be chosen from a pool of ideas and questions about improvisation and performance, proposed to us in advance before the festival. We will create a system (i.e. blackboard) for this pool to be added to, so that ideas that come up during the festival can be included in the labs, by a new timetable each day.

Underscore

An introduction to the Underscore, a long jamming/contact/improvisation score that Nancy has been developing since 1990. The Underscore guides us through a progression of “changing states” of body and mind—from solo sensitizing to gravity and support, into group circulation and contact improvisation engagements, opening out into whole-room compositional awareness and interaction, and back to rest and reflection.
“The Underscore talk” (required for participation in the practice) will give some background and will outline the structure in detail. After this concentrated instruction on the nature of the Underscore, participants will be ready for the physical practice itself, which will include periods of silence and periods of live music improvised/composed by Mike Vargas.
