NEWSROUND 1: Wednesday 16th April PRESENTER Catherine Mortier Cie sound track Montpellier, France . Le mystère des oréades [email protected] www.ciesoundtrack.com Celia Waliño Hernando Sea Arts Barcelona, Spain . Sea Arts – Balearic Performing Arts [email protected] Alexander Rusanov Trans-Teatr – the theatre of dance and pantomime Cherepovets, Russia . "I am a director of the Trans-Teatr" Spectacle musique et vidéo performance, sous la forme d’un film-concert en temps réel, inspiré par des scènes cultes du cinéma, associant deux manières particulières d’écrire et interpréter la musique et les images filmées et retransmises en scène. Depuis sa création, le cinéma nous montre l’absurdité du monde, les contradictions humaines et les paradoxes de l’existence autour des thèmes de la solitude et de l’exclusion. Sea Arts is a project created by IEB to promote Balearic Performing Arts. The IEB, the consortium created by the Government of the Balearic Islands for the international promotion of the culture from its four islands, encourages the internationalisation of outstanding artistic work, fosters mobility of artists and artworks abroad and broadens the international awareness of the Balearic Islands’ artistic heritage. It aims through Sea Arts to boost the performing arts sector by promoting the sale, coproduction and artistic exchanges both national and internationally. It seeks to position the Balearic culture through its cultural expressions in the cultural sector. As an art-worker I am convinced that art is a text-book of life, which is read even by those people who do not like to read any text-books, therefore it means that art helps us to dissolve the barriers and borders. I suppose in the XXI-st century a director must not only direct his performances but also use his prestige and abilities in order to make his contribution to society.

Le Bureau de l’APA tente de s’affranchir de l’enfermement dans des définitions disciplinaires. Il fait ce qu’il a à faire !

[email protected] www.balletlab.com The Caligari Theater – “Du Muss Caligari Werden” North South East West The Performing Arts Market in Seoul (PAMS) is Korea's premier contemporary performing arts event, as well as the platform for Asian and international Performing Arts professionals. And for arts professionals to share their artistic visions and exchange information on the latest trends in performing arts and performances featured at home and abroad. It’s a venue for communication, sharing, and cooperation among Korean and foreign performing arts professionals. Eskena was created in 1995 and today is a consolidated reference as a promoter and necessary representative for communication, stability and development of theatre companies in Basque region. Eskena manages a Performing Arts innovation center in Bilbao which has been designed by and for professionals and provides the methodology, knowledge and necessary resources to enable companies to adapt to todays´s ways of creation and production. “Invisible walls” provokes a re-thought and reflection on the public space in a different environment: you are surrounded with “invisible walls”. A theatrical experience concept rather than a show developed through series of artistic residencies. It’s a journey through experiences based on real situations of isolation - brought by actors themselves - being trapped because of bureaucracy, prejudice or fear to leave invisible walls, if not created for us, created by ourselves. Creation d’un spectacle sur Dolores Ibárruri, « la Pasionaria ». Comment une femme , fille, petite fille et épouse de mineurs, devint en 1936 Députée dans les Asturies puis Secretaire générale du Parti comuniste espagnol. Monologue inspiré de sa vie privée joué en français,espagnol et catalan. We have management of an old silent film theatre from the 1920’s in Berlin. We are in the process of opening it as a theatre and cultural center, and while we are working on the legal structure, state approval, renovations, etc. we want to keep the place alive with artistic events and explore innovative ways of approaching public relations, funding, and relationships with the state departments whose approval and support we need. We are an inter-disciplinary arts company working across the visual arts, design, dance, architecture and performance based practices. We seek to open up diverse avenues of cultural exchange. We have established an annual workshop program, North South East West and seek artists that are at the cutting edge of their practice to lead the workshops. Current artists in discussion are diverse including David Wambach, A.A. Bronson. IETM Montpellier 2014 2/3 NEWSROUND 1: Wednesday 16th April Leen Laconte CREW Brussels, Belgium . [email protected] www.crewonline.org Mario Coccetti Compagnia della Quarta Bologna, Italy . C.A.P.E.: extending a radical new way of arts-participation. Rave Theatre [email protected] www.compagniadellaquarta.it Pippa Bailey Sydney, Australia/ UK . [email protected] www.bidingtime.org Camilla Bonde Cantabile 2 Stege, Denmark . BiDiNG TiME In Touch Network Crew develops performances on the verge of theatre, new media & technology. Because CREW developed and presented C.A.P.E. successfully in different forms (C.A.P.E. Brussels, C.A.P.E. Tohoku, C.A.P.E. KIT, …) the company realises the specific potential of this format. C.A.P.E.’s ability to blend live imagery with pre-recorded footage, and virtual with physical stimuli, offers a radically new way to experience a story, to live a documentary, to discover a far-away city: C.A.P.E allows audiences to play a decisive role in their own artistic experience. Rave theatre consists in a festival held in urban spots that are kep secret to the audience until the moment of the performance. The audience have the chance to discover both a theatre, dance or music work and an unknown unconventional space for theatre (parkings, parks, stations, etc.). The meetings time and places to discover the performances are communicated through videos posted on Youtube and social networks. The next stage of a long running international experiment to share a story and encourage many versions, adapting the story about a young woman, to suit local conditions and audiences. Designed to interrupt current systems of theatre making to be democratic, accessible, playful, value cultural difference and environmentally sustainable. First made in 1987, revisited in 2007, with 5 productions in 2012, the next focus is Dec ‘15-Feb 2016. On behalf of Cantabile 2, I would like to present the In Touch Network. It is a new, international network connecting artists, companies and organizations producing and programming Human Specific Performing Art. The In Touch Network is an open network – and we are therefore happy to invite new members. [email protected] www.cantabile2.dk Daniella Groenberg Adelheid|Female Economy Amsterdam, Netherlands . [email protected] www.femaleeconomy.nl Suburb Safari (WijkSafari) Have you ever wandered around your own city like a tourist and wondered who’s living behind that window? From their base camp in the suburbs our theatremakers explore the neighbourhood, ring the bells of the inhabitants, have a chat with the local police officer and invite the district to connect with eachother. They are adopted by the locals for a couple of weeks. They live together and get to know eachother in an intense way. These encounters with their life stories formed the basis for the play. A view on another way of making theatre. IETM Montpellier 2014 3/3
