As part of the Autumn 2011 Kinitiras Choreography Lab, we are happy to announce a ONE-WEEK intensive with Spanish choreographer Roberto Olivan, director of the dance company ENCLAVE ARTS DEL MOVIMENT and founder of the FESTIVAL DELTREBE DANSA
About Roberto Olivan: Spanish by origin, he studied at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona and P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios) in Belgium. Roberto performed under the direction of renowned directors such as Robert Wilson, Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, Josse de Pauw or Tom Jansen. In 2001 he formed his own company, the ENCLAVE ARTS DEL MOVIMENT to continue his research in the arts of movement. ENCLAVE produced among others “Natural Strange Days” (SACD prize in Belgium in 2001), the acclaimed “Homeland”, “De Farra” and “Mermaid’s Call”, his latest production. Since the very beginning, what is reflected in the creations of Roberto Olivan is its singular vision of dance and the need to establish a dialogue with other artistic disciplines (…) ” Roberto Olivan is the Catalan choreographer and Director of ENCLAVE Dance Company. He lives and works predominantly in the disparate cities of Brussels and Barcelona. Olivan’s work manages to bind together these seemingly opposing influences, using a mix of artistic languages to create primeval, organic physical theatre full of wonderful contradictions. It is rooted firmly in his own origins and experience, and coloured by those of the performers with whom he creates. Although well educated in many forms, in the art of control and precision, Olivan works not with the intellect, the head, but with emotion, physicality and love. He seeks to make his work accessible to audiences, combining the power and energy of circus with the harsh reality of the world in which we live. The result is a genuinely stimulating celebration, fantastical yet somehow heartfelt and down to earth" (J. Noguero, Transversal). He has created works for the National University of Seoul South Korea (KNUA), the Ensemble Walpurgis in Belgium, Vertigo Dance of Israel, the Iceland Dance Company, Galician Choreographic Centre, ESAC, and co-productions from CAER and Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona. He is also de artistic director of FESTIVAL DELTREBE DANSA, created in 2004.

 This event is part of the activities of the Kinitiras Choreography Lab for 2011, curated by Ana Sanchez-Colberg. The ONE-WEEK INTENSIVES are a new development of the Lab activities led by high profile choreographers for those who are unable to pursue the longer 10 week research-and development programme. For more information about this and other seminars go to: www.kinitiras.com. Σεμινάριο με τον γνωστό και καταξιωμένο Ισπανό χορευτή και χορογράφο 19-23 Δεκεμβρίου 12.00 - 16.00 και παρουσίαση της δουλειάς του, ανοιχτή στο κοινό, στις 23 Δεκεμβρίου με τίτλο "Το ένστικτο ως πηγή κίνησης" Έχοντας περάσει από όλες τις παραδοσιακές μεθόδους χορού, ο Roberto προσπαθεί να αναπτύξει μία νέα μέθοδο, μία νέα γλώσσα χορού, βασισμένη στην ταχύτητα και στην ακρίβεια. Το σώμα μετατρέπεται σε ένα εργαλείο προβολής των συναισθημάτων και οι εικόνες του μυαλού είναι αυτές που μας βοηθούν να καταλάβουμε τη λειτουργία του σώματος, σύμφωνα με τον Roberto. Στο σεμινάριο θα επικεντρωθούμε στο να παράγουμε χορευτικές κινήσεις με βάση τα ζωώδη ένστικτά μας και στην προσωπική μας δημιουργικότητα. Θα δυναμώσουμε την αυτοπεποίθηση μέσω της ομαδικότητας και μέσω ασφαλών συμπερασμάτων από δύσκολες καταστάσεις. ************************** |
