the PROGRAM
TanzMediale
CONCEPT:
"For
quite some time, theater/stage has no longer been the only place
to explore dance on the physical and representational level.
With the development of “new media”, new stages and
new forms of “physical representation“ have emerged
and led to new forms of perception. The new media-theatrical
forms and their “treatment” have created new concepts
and styles.
Videoclips, performance, advertising: “Dance“ is omnipresent
in everyday life and traditional dance theater appears almost
like a faint echo. Classical references or systems of reference
in the art of dance are increasingly disappearing. Is dance
still perceived as dance? Or are new representations of movement
conveying other aesthetic forms? Can these still be considered
dance?
TanzMediale Vol. 1 presents a selection of international examples
of how dance or movement is presented in the new media and explores
the significance of the dance-media debate in the contemporary
art and cultural scene, continuing the SK Stiftung Kultur’s
ongoing exploration of media-forms that focus on interdisciplinary
collaborations of such diverse genres as (stage) dance, video
dance, film/video, new media, music, which by transcending their
traditional limitations create new forms and contents."
