i am not too dumb to claim. my secrets. i have money to my cities days for centuries and accompanied my country through its finest alleys until the day i mean. not a done deal. done. there's a shared space of inspiration and dialogue with someone and you or your life can transform. gradually. by bigger more. passive.

can then change the world no i mean. i would like to believe it and. john says moving their bodies in order to live. with that and open if this in between a fast so in colorful costumes in columbia or in mosques on the caribbean coast duns is universal. and with a contemporary dance company damaged goods choreography makes do what is known for creating productions that challenge the status quo. and not afraid to work with

pain in the darkness or things that are. uncomfortable but i'm always looking for a kind of transformation or transportation or things are moving things to kill you know bringing things up so they can kind of. open up. to contemporary dance pushes emotional physical and social limits it makes a political statement without using any. he was just great physical exertion what's moving the dance world these days we set off to find out starting interest in. the. american choreographer make steel with invited experts from around the globe to dress in to attend dance congress or tons contest 2019 some 500 people from the world of dance came to share experiences and discuss new ideas want to go down.

it's really important it was great to play about just this congress is really the end specialist that people have different interests but that intimacy can really break barriers that people can really. meet in intimate settings and feel like they're being heard and seen. the congress was about the body as well as the mind the global exchange of ideas was to give the dancing new impetus to help people make contacts and break down barriers is. something which required full commitment from everyone present and 2 full years of preparation and planning. with the support of the cruiser institute where shops and meetings were held in the lead up to the congress of around the globe. we called the tense progress a long lasting affair so actually it started 2 years before with this desire of

bringing artists together so we went to different cities and mad artists in certain cities and brought them together and really ask questions for the shared they dance together they mad kind of an exchange oh yeah so i counted with the world of contemporary dance and the journey to 2 countries where artistic self-determination still also meets with risk. well 1st stop the king of fast. in the capital rather do we need. ebooks internationally as a dancer choreographer and dance teacher yes he's had to fight for recognition in his homeland. it was difficult because my parents didn't accept my choice. they didn't want me to

give up building houses and become a dancer because for them dancing had no future. it was really tough going to have to leave my family. there were no role models and there wasn't a dancer you could point to and say oh with dance you can be somebody looking up with dancer to build homes and buy big cars there are no reference or song pressure to do what you're going to feel. it's really tough to live from dancing and burkina faso i have to go elsewhere to do projects elsewhere to earn a living will to. develop

this production together with an artist from the ivory coast a collaboration that wouldn't have been possible without financial support from france. the stage is littered with trash which symbolizes the chaos of conditions in many african countries. how can they rise above the chaos and free themselves from dependence on the former colonial powers and what role can. these are questions younger african artists i ask. people here are afraid to say when things aren't working but i see it as my role to contribute something to change that i want to every human being is useful to society i think as an artist i can create a positive change in the world from article shows one in one positive move.

to. changing things through contemporary dance is far from easy in booking a fast. dances like selling magical grace still face prejudices and discrimination. you don't know what contemporary dance is they've never seen it yet they criticize and they say the female dancers are prostitutes before non housewives no one wants to marry us and no families are willing to accept us in our society accepted or. still southernmost a cobra a risk at all she left her fiance because he couldn't accept to work as a dancer. the single mother earns a living by performing internationally. no no she's slowly also receiving recognition at her louis.

therefore i must say it was really the show. that helped me to convince my family girls who speak out now they support me and that's why i say to all women it's possible with the will leak. the choreographic developments and to let her make all the termite mound is a hive of activity in book enough. the unger small firm enough project which puts women center stage is also based here. created by the directors of the company. it profiles the work of female dances and choreography. to talk to the audience to ask questions. to question what is an equal right to our society. improvise in front of

a symbolic backdrop the rundown former. is a relic of $900.00. 1 the country so many pro-democracy movements and cultural projects. today the grounds belong to the choreographic development. several companies are based here it's also home to artists in residence workshops and festivals. is unique in west africa it was founded by. one of the biggest names in contemporary african dance it is the latest project he works with refugees from. there are lots of refugees here the 1st place an african refugees head is elsewhere in africa europe. people think africans are going to cross the mediterranean and

invade europe for that's false lots of african refugees stay within africa and off the. purpose of the beyond borders project is to go into the camps and get refugees to dance. this allows them to regain control and self-confidence and to overcome boredom and loneliness. they're going to return to campus with new knowledge with a breath of fresh air. it works deal with issues which affect everyone but from an african perspective. as a dance for such as dance because it's a universal language you can communicate transmit emotion and church audiences using words. sound passive. as

a representative of africa's politically active dance scene younger neighbors here also to pass in the town's caucus interest and along with dancers from ghana and senegal. said there were 2 everything revolved around the arts dance above all things but for me it was a bit more than that we were like a family we had meals together dance together and combine different forms of art there. was a real human element to all the activities we did that's what struck me most. recorded america stuart got to know make stuart in dresden. i knew her name from before but we've never met that was the 1st time. i danced congress 2019 makes do it is the 1st choreographer to be made artistic director. she hopes to create lasting connections collective experience through

dance improvisation and perhaps even that utopia of a global community. their connections are real the conversations are grounded and they're all sharing different experiences together. and it's great to be in a square with the term attorney and then be in dialogue. with students it's just really i find it really mix and i feel like it has a real promise or no other way of perth to string. and in this whole dance community. so i look at the movements between people i'm interested in social courtesy. they can be so simple when we go to meet someone do we how do you greet them what or how do we navigate social space and us national interactions and movements. and what causes change what causes people to really mobilize around

a certain idea or to get passion about something where they just stop being neutral and stop being an observer and kind of to when they're becoming empathetic. in their legs yes i'm involved i'm with i come with i support so i'm really interested in this fragile systems of support. sharing and learning from one another. which was caribbean beats about somebody else teaches tempeh and african m.b. and onsite music style. but obviously. mohammed on me like grew to like to play to more over time. it's the rhythm that surrounded me growing up after all. and today i can use this very rich dance language to develop my own steps.

i only realized now that i draw inspiration from those roots and from everyday relations and life. through gestures are part of a sign language that's hard to put into words. you could always find your freedom through it or save yourself from something so. there are codes that help you navigate difficult situations. in this sense it seems done stern create new spaces. a port city on colombia's northern caribbean coast this is the center has been a unesco world heritage site since 984. in the 16th century it was the center of

slave trade as a result of cultures and they music and dance styles mixed here leading to a vibrant colombian done scene. i'll bet about it was born in kenya and studied at 3 now and. today he teaches that himself. eat at this institution students are taught a range of different dance techniques there's everything from ballet to modern to contemporary dance. and improvisation exercise. that somebody else place experimental music while the dances let the inspiration guide them in creating a new production born out of the moment.

given all that has rehearsing a performance because leo a student of his from venezuela. they plan to perform the piece in public spaces. that list coming in. to him like a 70 percent of the population have got there he now has african roots in the language and being white in a predominantly black neighborhood was a challenge for me but i mean to survive here i had to adapt to the environment forward so whatever you read or a porno to me. it's the casing got to him this work here and carter was a form of dance research that. i wanted to really delve into and explore the people

of this city but it had more. room and the name is el mundo. but it somehow captures the essence of colombians today or you can go along. and disassembled and out of it puts him among dolls stands for your average person in constant need of says to come up with a way to survive in the kitchen you know to say less but upwards or whatever the money or dance is in order to earn a living. but a poor fellow you. know better body has made a name for himself experimenting with new forms of expression and combining improvisation and classical technique. i think that strength an artist or. they come together and they find.

space is outside of institutions that they find their own initiative that they work on their own and their value and their. connection and how they work with the city i think this is a kind of empowerment for the l.g.b. t.q. community for instance. in colombia the queer performance house of 2 cameras is drawing the audience. it was founded back in the hunger in august together with other like minded individuals. with a collective combining voting with the south american dance. but we also do other things we got together in order to go out in the evenings and to perform to explore to experiment but for. our let me think as he left last year an experimental film. but with a little bit about the money it was

a professional dancers who would train the done school so much but as luck to bombers were a type of laboratory for movement was expanded the basic ideal done. more expert and be some of us are still studying at the dance academy but was going to see movement is actually more of a priority than classic training. fitness and often more. alchemy and for no 1st we didn't want to become an artist collective or activist group. or. that wasn't their intention at all but we just wanted to have fun together some of the stuff that we've been artists for a long time before tomorrow's to. go. together to vogue and have fun can we would be a. book or tell columbia sprawling capital has a population of over 1000000 it's full of contradictions open and liberal good home

to aggressive machismo full of progressive creative projects but also discrimination although the clear arts center house of to maurice requires security it provides a safe space for those who come here. we create spaces where we're safe from hostility the threats. with the promise are very proud of what we have achieved in such a short time period and proud of who we are but i must get a safe spaces that we've established are not exclusive for others to us but on me. me and the idea is that everything is in constant flow not just dance involving armor but also gender fluid gender but at the fluid in our bodies through a fluid in a latin american city fluid and nightlife like in america. you have to come are as an important have for the scene to connect and run free.

to. look. at i believe the energy beauty community of the moves and strongly separated and isolated spaces i thought was when we're together we feel that things are changing but then we go out onto the street and the surroundings stay hostile. get out because i believe that our approach is a pretty radical. keep. the case on into theater campaigns and activism in music or parties. the. i don't see dances intertainment paid think it can speak about complex issues in the world. put postcolonial. you

know the rise of the right fascism for all the history he had to call innovation. the cultural center flora in bogota is an independent privately managed institution which supports artists through grants. to. say up front to managers the dance and performance section the renowned artist commutes between new york and her hometown bogota and is especially interested in concepts of vulnerability and strike. you. can dance. with them again i'm interested in understanding our bodies which are confronted with a harsh reality in colombia in the midst of a political crisis

a social crisis an economic crisis as well as an ecological crisis but we are going to his back and his child and i can see this guy like this is that your hookah look at them again our bodies are exposed to all of these things that the i mean especially here in colombia there's also a connection to magical later hidden secret powers and possibilities of exploring the world. as. the situation is that there's a lot of aggression that's not easy moving your body through such a metropolis simply because it didn't think that sharpens your senses. it gives you something like a $360.00 degree view. of war no 2nd want kids by. on the placenta doesn't get out and i think there are other perspectives you can take to. for instance your little mouse me to rediscover my body through the city in the in the us new york

with more and then there was a place called as if there's a poster on this and i'm going to need that i think it's likely just covering the animal within but. if there were one couple things belonging might. make my sense of smell. the amount of sense i think is just incredible. my sense of smell gives me so much information and then this allows me to perceive the city in a much more encompassing way. brought this heightened sensory awareness to dresden and was drawn to a world videotapes. she used to dance congress

2019 as an experimental space and made new connections. times it's evident to keep going when there is a limited resource or you feel that rather that you're. not in the center or that people are not appreciating your work or about seeing the worth so how to strengthen the collective voice so i think there's a kind of real like that if you would take what's the source of a kind of unguarded or a shift or breakthrough that's in this really structuring element of this other kinds of ways of. bringing. people together and discussing. issues and making things more transparent for. the dallas congress a long lasting effect but a celebration of the body mind soul under connection that is sure to leave

a mark. this was all 21 take care and take a moment to dallas. back

i know the sound card piece of goosebumps. my. audio systems our electronic cars are way behind. we talked to some experts about how the cars of the future will solve. read
