\u201cThe dancing bear rises\u2026to reincarnate society.\u201d Tyrone O\u2019Ros<\/em><\/p>\n

From sunrise to sunset, a number of dancers devote the day to being in a state of dance. Each of them do so individually in selected public spaces in the centre of a city.
\nThis practice originated as a personal need, as a way of seeking and testing the perception of dance on a personal, social, and environmental perspective. An act dedicated to the union of dance and life, an opportunity for tracing the poetry that exists both inside us and around us. A dialogue with limits and nature, calling into question the various ways in which dance emerges.
\nThe body in dance opens out a multiplicity of meaning \u2013 its generosity offers a different kind of awareness. The dancer is within the action of his own practice inscribing new possibilities of presence. As with the qualities of \u2018a gift\u2019 the dancer demands nothing, seeks not to gain praise, but makes an embodied offer that generates reflection. This reflection implicates the body and presence of the spectator \/ passerby, the landscape, and the wider context of movement we are contained in.
\nThe audience is invited to visit the dancers using an uploaded\/printed map. They may visit the dancers throughout the whole day, and stay with them for however long they wish, witnessing the event.
\nAn integral part of the practice is that there is a support team composed of volunteers (not necessarily dancers), who individually visit the dancers throughout the day, offering water, fruits, and support.<\/p>\n

Workshop – Process
\n<\/strong>The proposed workshop will introduce students to the research and ideas behind Day Out of Time, prepare and guide them through 3 hour and 6 hour \u2018Day Out of Time\u2019 trials, and finish with a \u2018Day Out of Time\u2019 performance, in which participants will go into \u2018Day Out of Time\u2019 for the duration of a whole day, with the possibility of inviting an audience.
\nAt the research level, \u2018Day out of Time\u2019 is a practice that can be experienced by anyone interested. The preparation includes discussion and assimilation of the philosophical as well as practical research and approach, introducing some practices that which are crucial for endurance and the handling of experience in such a dense environment as the center of a city and how to tackle the performance aspect while remaining honestly within a practice.
\nThe overall preparation process will be adapted to the program and needs of the dancers and the allocated time.<\/p>\n

Dance never stops, and we dancers go on in and out of his melody and expression. Perhaps our deeper ability as dancers is to receive dance, not to create it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Day out of Time so far
\n<\/strong>Day out of Time took place for the first time on the island of Hydra in the summer of 2014 during the R.I.C.E. (www.riceonhydra.org<\/a>). Since then, Vitoria Kotsalou has performed Day Out of Time, either alone or with other dancers seven times, in public places, within the framework of the Akropoditi DanceFest in Syros, at the RICEAN School of Dance in Hydra (2015-2018), in public places in Athens and during Vitoria\u2019s residency at La Caldera in Barcelona in 2018. In summer 2017 \u2018Day Out of Time\u2019 was performed at the Athens Festival with 21 dancers taking part in the center of Athens.<\/p>\n
