the best senses of. the people hold for over rights and home the 4th time for the most missing member of the columbia mr obama said the family at the last dragon as well as the whole. deal really work on. it but. there's a shared space of inspiration and dialogue with someone in. your life can transform . that dance for good well that's a fair language you know that fell on people really came across my busy most. solemn passer by love. can then change the world knows i

mean. i would like to believe it can and. john says moving their bodies in order to live. with it at an open atheist in brooklyn or fast so in colorful costumes in colombia or in mosques on the caribbean coast dunce 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 art darkness or things that are. uncomfortable about. again for

a kind of transformation or transportation or things are moving things still you know bringing things up so they can kind of. open up. contemporary dance pushes emotional physical and social demands it makes a political statement without using anyway it's just great physical exertion what's moving the dance world these days we set off to find out starting interest in. american choreographer make steel with invited experts from around the globe to dressed in to attend dance congress or tons congress 29 teams some 500 people from the world of dance came to share experiences and discuss new ideas one. pound. bag is really important that's critically about this 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 and it's. something which required full commitment from everyone present and 2 full years of preparation and planning. with the support of the dusit institute workshops and meetings were held in the lead up to the congress of around the globe. we called the turn turn britta 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 local artists. certain

cities and brought them together. where they ask questions for the share they dance together the. kind of an exchange. my county with the world of contemporary dance and a journey to 2 countries where artistic self-determination still often meets with resistance. our 1st stop picking up fast. in the capital do we need to feel down the. e-books internationally as a dancer choreographer and dance teacher yes he's had to fight for recognition in his home and. 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 to leave my

family. no more then there were no role models and there wasn't a dancer you could point to and say oh with dance you can be somebody with dance you could build homes and buy big car slowed down some parent reference or song actually did it because once you get in films. it's really tough to live from dancing and burkina faso i have to go elsewhere to do projects elsewhere to earn a living. to. develop this production together with an artist from 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 young african artists ask. for 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 do for every human being is useful to society i think as an artist i can create positive change in the world from article to show as one of one positive move to. view but changing things through contemporary dance is far from easy and because

you know. dancers like sell a magical gray still face prejudices and discrimination. they 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 and our society accepted or else also seated in the way still southernmost akubra a risk at all she left her fiance because he couldn't accept to work as a dancer. in the single mother earns a living by performing internationally. no no she's slowly also receiving recognition at how the e. to. give . it was really the show. that helped me to convince my family girls who are now

they support me and that's why i say to all women it's possible with the will be. the choreographic developments and. all the termite mound is a hive of activity and looking at. the 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 right in our society . improvise in front of a symbolic backdrop the rundown formative.

980 s. . when the country so many pro-democracy movements and cultural projects. today the grounds belong to the choreographic development center 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 dogs in his latest project he works with refugees from mali. there are lots of refugees here and the 1st place an african refugees head is elsewhere in africa europe. people think africans are going to cross the mediterranean and invade europe but 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. are going to return to the campus with new knowledge with a breath of fresh air and hope said new very. it works deal with the issues which affect everyone but from an african perspective . as regards for such as dance because it's a universal language you can communicate transmit emotion and church audiences using words. as a representative of africa's politically active dance scene in 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 danceable evolved 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. after . i got to know make stuart in dresden why i said i knew her name from before but we've never met that was the 1st time. i danced congress 2019 makes do it as 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. connections are real the conversations are grounded and they're all sharing different experiences together. and it's great to be in thurso then square with the terminator 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 to string. winning this whole dance community. so i look at the movements between people i'm interested in social currency. it 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 social interactions or movements. and what causes change what causes people to really mobilize around a certain idea or to get passion about something where they stop being neutral and

stop being an observer and kind of that's when they become empathetic. when they're there yes i'm involved i'm with i come with i support so i'm really interested in these fragile systems of support. sharing and learning from one another. caribbean beats that's about a ghost teaches tempeh and african m.b. and onsite music style. but i always. call him a don't mean i grew to like to pay 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 but. i only realize now that i draw inspiration from those roots and from everyday relations

and life. gestures are part of a sign language that's hard to put into words. but out of the you could always find your freedom through it or save yourself from something. 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 styles mixed here leading to

a vibrant colombian don scene. i'll bet nobody else was born in captivity in and studied at the renowned. today he teaches that himself. at this institution students are taught a range of different dance techniques there's everything from ballet to modern to contemporary dance. there was more. an improvisation exercise. but that's about it was a place experimental music while the dances let the inspiration guide them in creating a new production born out of the moment. here our betters rehearsed in the performance because leo

a student of his from venezuela. they plan to perform the piece in public spaces. on that list coming in. to 70 percent of the population have got there he now has african roots in the language being white you know who are predominantly black neighborhood was a challenge for me but i mean to survive here i had to adapt to the environment for it so whatever you need already born into me. is to throw a whole casing got to him this work here and carter was a form of dance research. i wanted to really delve into and explore the people of this city. the output of the women in the name as well isn't that correct that he

said it somehow captures the essence of colombians today or 'd you can call on. him to sit down to put him among dolls stands for your average person in constant need to come up with a way to survive in your city less but upwards or whatever the money 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. spaces 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 columbia the queer the formants group house of to it's drawing room audience. it was founded about a 100 in august together with other like minded individuals. with a collective combining voting with the south american done. but we also do other things we got together in order to go out in the evenings to perform to explore to experiment before. let me think of here on the left lot of your experimental feel. bad move the looking for example that many of us are professional dancers who are trained done school as much but as luck to them are as we're top of laboratory for

movement expanded the basic idea of dance. more expression be you know some of us are still studying at the dance academy but i was going to see movement is actually more of a priority than classic training. fitness and that i'm often in more you me and. i'll come in for no comment 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. you. 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 get home to aggressive machismo full of progressive creative projects but also discrimination although the clear arts center house of tomorrow it's required

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 i'm proud of who we are but i must get a safe spaces that we've established are not exclusive for others to. me and the idea is that everything is in constant flow not just dance. but also gender fluid gender but it were fluid in our bodies through a fluid in a latin american city fluid and nightlife like in america and. the e.u. . the maras an important have for the scene to connect and run free. to. look at. i believe the l.g.b.

to a community of the moves in strongly separated and isolated spaces thermals when we're together we feel that things are changing then we go out onto the street and the surroundings stay hostile like a bug a tough. go because i believe that our approach is pretty radical. in the. theatre and their campaigns and activism in music or part of. the. i don't see dances intertainment i think it can speak about complex issues in the world. post-colonial. you know the rise of the right the fascism call it the history decolonization.

the cultural center flora in bogota is an independent privately managed institution which supports artists through grants. manages 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 strength. you. can get 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 it is what.

it is this guy like the things that. look at them again our bodies are exposed to all of these things that damage especially here in colombia and there's also a connection to magical hidden secret of power and possibilities of exploring the world. as. a situation is that there's a lot of aggression because you're. not easy moving your body through such a metropolis simply go casting in that sharpens your senses. it gives you something like a $360.00 degree view. warnell 2nd want to aspire. on the list and doesn't get out and i think there are other perspectives you can take to. for instance to listen mows me to rediscover my body through the city from the air and until i see your calls and then there are lots of those calls as if there's a bus there is and i'm going to meet the athletes like regis covering the animals

with them but. if there were one couple soon. or something or. like my sense of smell. the amount of sense i think is just incredible. my sense of smell gives me so much information but i mean this allows me to perceive the city in a much more encompassing way because that was. one of the brought this high season sensory awareness to dresden and was drawn to old video tapes. she used the dance congress 2019 as an experimental space and made new connections.

very precarious times is evident we will keep going when there is a limited resource or you feel that rather that your you are not in the center or that people are not appreciating your work or are not seeing the worth so how to strengthen the collective voice so i think there is a kind of real like that if you intake what's the source of a kind of unguarded or a shift or breakthrough that's in this restructuring element of this other kinds of ways of. bringing people together and discussing. issues and making things more transparent to. the adults congress is a long lasting effect a celebration of the body mind soul and a connection that is sure to leave a man. this was almost

21 take care and take a moment to dallas. the for. the 1st clue.
