On 11.02.2021 the dancers of the Polish Dance Theatre created live performance by improvising to the modular lived act played by musician Dawid Dąbrowski/Resmover.
The audience was deciding the course of the improvisation by writing on Facebook in the comment field a topic, a motto or task. That was communicated via beamer on the wall and dancers were introducing themes/requests in their performance. The main aim of the event was to make active our public in the event as they could not be present in the theatre due to pandemic. Moreover, this is one of the foundations of the Audience Development – to involve the audience.
For one hour more than 3000 people were part of the event as 561 people actively participated in the performance.
The “CLASH!
When classic and contemporary dance collide and new forms emerge” project
will wrap up with the final conference “The CLASH! project: conclusions as a starting point ” on February 17th at 16:00 (CET)
on http://www.clashproject.eu and at @clashprojecteu with the participation of the six partners involved in the project
co-funded by the Creative Programme of the European Union:
Balletto di Roma (IT)
Sapienza University (IT)
Derida Dance Center / Art link Foundation (BG)
Polish Dance Theatre (PL)
420PEOPLE (CZ)
Companhia de Dança de Almada (PT)
After the intense journey through dance
that the “CLASH! International Festival. The Hybrid
in Dance Models, between Classic and Contemporary” was, the time has come for thinking over
the events and brainstorm about future paths.
The conference will once again make the
“virtual meeting” between different countries and European partners possible.
The meaning of the project for all partnering organizations will be articulated
through dialogue and QA sessions that will bring them even closer by sharing
their experience.
The event will give the opportunity
to sneak a peek into difficulties, challenges and highlights of the project as
well as open a discussion about the future that the CLASH! Project will bring.
Given the dynamic global changes, we would take a deeper look at the dancer’s training and creative process, focusing on new paths and challenges for tomorrow’s dancers.
Furthermore, one could not fail to recognize the elephant in the room. How did the Coronavirus affect the overall process and the Audience development activities in particular? A deeper look would be taken into the process of shifting between the “live“and the “digital” in terms of ways of coping, that would deploy into pointing out what should be recognized as a “keeper” for the future.
Last but not least, the conference
will tackle the strengths and weaknesses met during the realization of the
project revealing the future challenges as a part of the management and
communication activities.
On 6th of February 2021 at 16:00 h (GTM) Ca.Da. will present a piece of an art online event.
On approaching the conclusion of the CLASH! Project, Ca.DA is presenting the repercussion of this project on the company, with focus on the new piece “Noir”, created for stage and for screen. With interviews with the director and artistic staff involved in the project the event will be open to interaction with the audience.
From Ca.DA’s point of view, and specially going through a new lockdown, it is an opportunity to get in touch with our audiences that were deprived of live performances that have been cancelled for undetermined time and, at the same time, spread the information about the Clash project and its repercussion on the company.
Held from the 8thto the 13th
of December 2020, CLASH! International Festival. The Hybrid in

performances produced by the partners involved in the project Clash! When Classic and Contemporary Dance Collide and

Preparation of the screendance performance “ORĪGĪ” by 420PEOPLE! In November we will share the official photos of the filming!
Choreography & Art director: Václav Kuneš Dancers: Francesca Amante & Fanny Barrouquère & Simona Machovičová Director & Camera: Tomáš Vlček Lights & AC & Grip & Script: Radim Krumpolc, Jan Faukner, David Borovský Backstage video & interview: Pavel Marek Music: Jan Šikl & Zabelov Group Production & Management: Aneta Jochim, Alžběta Málková, Magdaléna Řehořová, Marta Lajnerová Styling: Olo Křížová Location: Studio MAISELOVKA, Prague
Theme of the film is based on the primordial essence of humanity and the body itself, specifically on what we know where we come from – whether geographically, ideologically or sociologically. After meeting something new, we look for a way to adapt (to learn how to adapt). The adaptation is the basic theme of the film. The plot in the film brings together three dancers (three girls) who have their personal (basic) movement and dance style. Imagine a ballerina (classic ballet), a musical dancer (the broadway style) and a martial arts representative (contemporary dance). These three dancers and their diverse styles meet at one point, and the only possible way in which they can work together and communicate is to “adapt to each other”. Thanks to the initial duel (clash!) between the dancers, the new (fourth) style will be created, which will be the only means of communication. The storyline results in the main and best means of communication being our own body. The body is the best technology, the body is the only possible true aspect.
Film ORĪGĪ is part of Project Clash – when classic and contemporary dance collide and new forms emerge (Grant Agreement n° 2018 – 2032 /001 – 001, co-founded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.)
