BADco. @ 54. La Biennale di Venezia, Arsenale, 04.06. – 27.11. 2011

By invitation of the curators’ collective What, How & for Whom/WHW the Croatian exhibition at the 54th Venice Biennale taking place 4th June to 27th November 2011 is presenting the work of conceptual artist Antonio G. Lauer (a.k.a. Tom Gotovac) and performing arts collective BADco.

As part of the Croatian exhibition at the 54th Venice Biennale BADco. is presenting a site-specific installation and intervention titled Responsibility for Things Seen: Tales in Negative Space, the first phase of a multi-segment project we will conclude with a premiere at the Zagreb Youth Theater in early 2012. The central concern of the project is the issue of mediated responsibility, relating to events we witness in images and different modes of spectating. The Venice installation, conceived as theater by other means, will construct the field of friction between the power of images to engage our collective imagination, to open or shut the horizon of the future, and different modes of spectating – opening a potential space of critical and transformative work of spectating.

We are inspired by the fact that our work is presented alongside the work of Tomislav Gotovac, an artist with whom we share an intuition that there is a continuity between seeing and creating, and an interest for the internal material organization of the artistic reality – what the artist had called “the steel mash”.

For a detailed description of Responsibility for Things Seen: Tales in Negative Space and full credits see: BADco_Croatia_2011

The exhibition organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia is realized in collaboration with Croatian film clubs’ association and Zagreb Youth Theater.

BADco. na 54. venecijanskom bijenalu

4. lipnja do 27. studenoga 2011. u Arsenalima

U sklopu hrvatskog sudjelovanja na Venecijanskom bijenalu BADco. postavlja site-specific instalaciju i intervenciju Odgovornost za viđeno: Priče iz negativnog prostora. Riječ je o prvom segmentu višedjelnog umjetničkog i istraživačkog rada koji planiramo zaključiti premijerom predstave u Zagrebačkom kazalištu mladih početkom 2012. godine. Središnja preokupacija rada je pitanje posredovane odgovornosti, odnosa prema događajima kojima svjedočimo u slikama i različitim načinima gledanja. Venecijanski će postav, kao svojevrstan teatar drugim sredstvima, graditi polje tenzije, sraza izmedju moći slika da vežu nasu kolektivnu imaginaciju, da otvaraju i zatvaraju horizont budućnosti, i različitih dispozicija gledanja otvarajući jedan mogući prostor za kritički i transformativni rad gledanja.

Nalazimo veliki poticaj u činjenici da je naš rad biti predstavljen uz rad Tomislava Gotovca, umjetnika s kojim djelimo intuiciju da postoji kontiunitet između čina gledanja i čina stvaranja i interes za unutarnju, materijalnu organizaciju umjetničke zbilje – onoga što je umjetnik nazivao “čeličnom mrežom”.

Whatever Dance Toolbox is now released!

Whatever Dance Toolbox is a set of software tools designed for the analysis and development of dance and movement. Six tools included in the suite can help dancers and choreographers devise, develop and rehearse dance, but can also be used in dance education or by non-dancers to explore movement. The suite is a product of a long-standing collaboration between BADco. and German human-machine interface developer and artist Daniel Turing, and it reflects some of the mutual concerns with the dancer-computer interaction and choreographic thinking.

Free download here!

Detailed introduction and instructions can be found in our Whatever Dance Toolbox – Manual.

More on the workshops:

Workshop I: Synchronous Objects (teacher: Norah Zuniga Shaw, 2-3 April 2011)

Co-creative director with William Forsythe for Synchronous Objects, Norah Zuniga Shaw leads workshops for dancers and interdisciplinary groups focusing on the choreographic visualizations as catalysts for new creativity and collaboration. Participants experience the deep structures and creative scoring ideas contained within William Forsythe’s masterwork A One Flat Thing, reproduced through movement and drawing exercises. Themes that are addressed include rule-based art making practices, integration of analytical and creative practices, and connections between computing ideas and dancing ideas. In addition to generating moving ideas, participants are given tools for analyzing performance throughout the workshop, and using these observations and documents as jumping off points for new creation.

Norah Zuniga Shaw is an artist and researcher whose work centers on choreographic knowledge as a locus for interdisciplinary and intercultural creativity. She is director for dance & technology at the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD). Shaw’s most recent project with William Forsythe and Maria Palazzi, Synchronous Objects, has received numerous honors including features in the New York Times and Communication Arts.

Workshop II: Whatever Dance Toolbox (teachers: choreographers and dramaturges of BADco., 4-5 April 2011)

Choreographers and dramaturges of BADco. will guide you through a practical, problem-driven process through their accumulated experience in developing and working with Whatever Dance Toolbox. The workshop will focus in particular on three aspects of its application in dance and choreography: generating and analyzing individual dance material, generating and analyzing the choreography that transpires between the dancers’ bodies, and analyzing the split attention produced by the Toolbox. All workshop participants will receive a free copy of WDT to continue working with the tools.

BADco. is a performance collective based in Zagreb, Croatia. The artistic core of the group is: Pravdan Devlahović, Ivana Ivković, Ana Kreitmeyer, Tomislav Medak, Goran Sergej Pristaš, Nikolina Pristaš and Zrinka Užbinec. A combination of four choreographers / dancers, two dramaturgs and a philosopher, BADco. has been systematically focusing on the research of protocols of performing, presenting and spectating.

SYMPOSIUM, Workshops, Exhibition 01.-05. April 2011 – Algorithmic Reflections of Choreography: From Choreography to Software and Back

SYMPOSIUM: Algorithmic Reflections of Choreography: From Choreography to Software and Back (1 April 2011, Zagreb)

– followed by four days of workshops and installations of The Forsythe Company’s Synchronous Objects and BADco.’s Whatever Dance Toolbox - click here for more info on the workshops!

Open Call for Presentations

Who can apply: If you are a dancer, choreographer or an expert working with choreography interested in developing or reflecting on the application of software tools in choreographic work and teaching, we are inviting you to present your insights and research interests, and participate in the debates, at our symposium “Algorithmic Reflections of Choreography: From Choreography to Software and Back”.

When and where: The symposium will take place on 1 April 2011 in Zagreb, Croatia.

What are the topics: The purpose of the symposium is to bring together in a not-too-formal setting international artists, technologists, methodologists and educators who have been working on developing software tools in the context of choreographic work in order to discuss following issues:

  • how can such technological tools support the creation process;
  • what effects can they have on dance performances;
  • what knowledge can they produce and transfer;
  • how can they be used in documenting/archiving/preserving dance works;
  • can we detect traces of digital environments in choreographies that were not made with technological tools.

The symposium will include contributions by developers and practitioners working on tools developed for The Forsythe Company, Emio Greco | PC, Deborah Hay Company and BADco.

The symposium marks the release of BADco.’s choreographic software suite Whatever Dance Toolbox, created in collaboration with the German developer Daniel Turing. It will be followed by four days of workshops and installations of The Forsythe Company’s Synchronous Objects, facilitated by Norah Zuniga Shaw, and BADco.’s Whatever Dance Toolbox, facilitated by choreographers and dramaturges of BADco.

How to apply and when is the deadline: We are looking for contributions of various formats, including but not limited to short presentations, demonstrations and participation in the debate. If you want to participate in the symposium, please send us a short note stating your topical interests, discussion points, format, etc. and a short description of your background. While we cannot cover your expenses, we can help you find convenient travel arrangement and affordable accommodation, and we will do our best to address your interests and provide an insightful debate.

WORKSHOP Recapitulations 24.-28.01.2011 @ POU Zagreb

BADco. invites you to take part in our choreographic workshop!

Recapitulations

24.-28.01.2011 10:00-14:30 @ POU Zagreb, Ulica Grada Vukovara 68, Zagreb

Leading the workshop: Ana Kreitmeyer, Nikolina Pristaš, Goran Sergej Pristaš and Zrinka Užbinec

In our ten years of work, throughout a series of theater productions, BADco. has alternated thematic scopes, dramaturgical approaches, dance procedures and technological processes. And yet, in this continuous production of the divergent, some strategies in the making of our productions and some operations in their performance have stayed constant and have gradually sedimented into knowledge BADco. conveys through workshops. The workshop Recapitulations will focus on the choreographic procedures, production of dance and analysis. We will spend a week investigating: different ways the body and the (virtual) objects relate, the possibilities of choreographic exhausting of that relationship, the settling in of dance into a world of objects and the analysis of the whole process. Extension of objects in the body, introduction of objects’ qualities into the body, traces, configuration of attention, inertia, parallel logics in the body – are only some of the ideas we will cover in the workshop.

Recapitulations workshop is for dance professionals and those who wish to experience and reflect on the process of creating a choreography.

Participation is free of charge. Apply by 21.01.2011 to:
nikolina@badco.hr

In collaboration with ekscena.

BADco. vas poziva da se prijavite na koreografsku radionicu!

Rekapitulacije

24.-28.01.2011. 10:00-14:30 @ Centar za kulturu POU Zagreb, Ulica Grada Vukovara 68, Zagreb

Voditelji radionice: Ana Kreitmeyer, Nikolina Pristaš, Goran Sergej Pristaš i Zrinka Užbinec

Tijekom deset godina djelovanja BADco. je iz predstave u predstavu mijenjao tematske okvire, dramaturške pristupe, plesne procedure, tehnološke procese. Međutim, u toj stalnoj proizvodnji drugačijega neke strategije u stvaranju predstava i operacije u izvedbi predstava pokazale su se konstantnima i postupno su sedimentirale u znanja, koja BADco. posreduje u svojim radionicama. Radinica Rekapitulacije fokusirat će se na koreografske procedure, proizvodnju plesa i analizu. Tjedan dana bavit ćemo se različitim vidovima odnosa tijela i (virtualnih) objekata, mogućnostima koreografskog iscrpljivanja tog odnosa odnosno udomaćivanjem plesa u svijet objekata te analizom cjelokupnog procesa. Ekstenzija objekta u tijelu, izdvajanje objektnih kvaliteta u tijelo, obilježavanje objekta, translacija i transpozicija njegovih točaka u prostoru, tragovi, konfiguracija pažnje, inercija, paralelne logike u tijelu – samo su neke od ideja koje bismo voljeli obraditi ovom radionicom.

Rekapitulacije su namijenjene plesnim profesionalcima i onima koji žele iskusiti i reflektirati proces nastajanja koreografije.

Sudjelovanje na radionici je besplatno. Prijavite se do 21.01.2011. na e-mail:
nikolina@badco.hr

Ostvareno u suradnji s ekscenom.
