[ ATHENS ] [ THESSALONIKI ]HOMEPAGE : PROGRAMME : THESSALONIKI
The meeting point of dance and cinema, a field of experimentation on vision and movement, video dance shares the qualities of its medium, film: it is experimental material in a creative medium and at the same time - perhaps unwittingly - archival material, preserving performances of dance. It is therefore valuable material, keeping alive the memory of dance in the 20th century - a formative period for contemporary dance and also a time of turbulent change in this as in other art forms.
There is a lot at stake: not only to capture the dancer's movement and expression but also the sense of space; to record the essence of a choreography instead of the mere linear unfolding of movement, even to capture on film the spectators' experience of communication with the dancing body. In this manner, the choreographer becomes a cinematographer in part, and the cinematographer ends up being the choreographer of the film.
The most distinctive and exciting quality of this art is precisely this hybrid aspect - the fact that it belongs neither to purely representational arts nor to visual ones; that it is neither dance nor cinema. This fact enables video dance to reflect the most extreme explorations of both fields most clearly. For this same reason, the study of this material offers a great overview of the status of visual culture at this point in time.
Seventy six films are presented in this year's program in this context. The theme sections revolve around "loans" of image and movement: loans from other cultures, from far away, from the past, from other arts. Loans, or however else one may be inclined to call this activity, enrich moving images, and enable relations, encounters, and free movement to flourish.
