AVDP on TouR

AVDP on TouR 

ATHENS VIDEO DANCE PROJECT (AVDP) is an initiative founded in 2010 in Athens and has been organized by the Non Profit Organisation BelleVille. AVDP offers the ground for fruitful meetings and dialogue among artists from all over the world. It enhances not only the visibility of the art of videodance, but also the diversity of new media and technologies, the art of contemporary dance and multimedia dance performances, the performance and the cinema.

For the above reasons, there are five programs that reflect the idea of AVDP: the annual AVDP Festival – International Dance Film Festival, AVDP edu – Educational Program, AVDP on TouR and AVDP in Community and AVDP tv.

Description: Παύση, ηρεμία, αναπόληση. Μια διαδρομή από τον εξωτερικό χώρο μιας στάσης τρένου στον εσωτερικό κόσμο της ελευθερίας και της απόλαυσης. Πόση δύναμη μπορεί να κρύβει αυτή η στιγμή και πόσο εύκολο είναι να την αναζητήσουμε;

XENO

| Direction: Amy J. Gardner • Choreography: Diego Vega • CA • 4′

KADUNA

| Direction: Ridwan Adeniyi Abdullateef, Jacob Jonas • Choreography: Vinson Fraley • NG • 6’

A movement born out of migration and distance—out of likeness and difference. In this mutually birthed language we seek to obliterate the illusion that we are separate from each other and the environment that holds us together. We are no bigger or smaller. We are a brotherhood. A kinship.

WEAKNESS OF THE FLESH

| Direction: Kevin McGloughlin, Jacob Jonas | Choreography: Jacob Jonas • USA • 6′

Concrete, when dry, cemented and stuck. The body, delicate. When the mind is pushed, the potential of the defense system is revealed. Blank canvases and raw environments. The complexities of human nature exposed. Depth of understanding to the natural course. Society’s normality can’t enslave us. The mind pushes to the body. The mind pushes towards the weak flesh. A rebound effect that continues. This is a universal temptation that repeats through time.

Fibonacci

| Direction: Tomas Hubacek • Choreography: Marie Gourdain | CZ • 8′

Description: Human flock flows through wavy fields. An unenlightened hunter crosses its path. Environmental dance film or audiovisual meditation on Fibonacci patterns in the landscape, herd behavior, film structure and music.

anamnesis

| Direction & Choreography: Evaggelia Lousioti • GR • 3’

Description: From the perspective of dancing , music, costumes and semantics, the content and the synthesis is a blend of traditonal and contemporary dancing and aesthetics. The two women act in the space as individulas from one hand but also as a small collectivity in the other. Through poetic images and movement they introduce themselves to the ideas of liberty, identity and collective memory of their homeland. Dancing along with the elements of nature as a driving force, the collective unconsious is flowing through their bodies in order to find for themselves their grounding and self-awareness. Carrying alongside the traumatic memory of their land are trying to find their own standing in life as persons and women.

PLATFORM 59

| Direction & Choreography: Mairi Giannoula, Marina Kladi • GR • 1′

Είσαι ελεύθερος να βγεις από το σπίτι ακολουθώντας συγκεκριμένους κανόνες και προϋποθέσεις. Η έξοδος έχει συγκριμένο σκοπό και αριθμό. Η επιλογή του προορισμού, όμως, παραμένει ανοιχτή.
Τι γίνετε όταν η ρουτίνα και η επανάληψη παίρνουν μορφή σε ένα διαφορετικό περιβάλλον;
Τι γίνετε όταν αλλάζουμε τον προορισμό του επιλεγμένου αριθμού με παρέα;
Ήρθε η ώρα να βγεις. Θα επαναληφθείς ή θα αλλάξεις;
