About Nina Orteu

Nina Orteu is a Catalan artist who works between the Netherlands and Barcelona. She started developing her performance practice when she got involved with Corpologia, a performance art festival, and became a member of the group. Later on, she also iniciated her own performance art festival in the Netherlands, Vertigo, and combined it with a performance research group for women artists in Barcelona.

She uses her body as a tool to research. For Nina, performance is not the goal, it is just a medium to get answers. She started her research in performance as a way to communicate to others things that cannot be said, most of the times related to her personal family history and involving domestic violence as a core topic.

More recently, she has started to add the participation of other people in her performances. Her main interest at the moment consists on the other. She wants to be able to understand and embrace the other, but at the same time she wants her to be understood and embraced too.

Project: the whispering game
Family and relationships, are my main focus of interest. I position myself as a daughter and sometimes, as a mother. In my performances, I research this topic while performing with other people or inanimate things that play a symbolic role in my life. This allows me to investigate how human relations function, so I can find other ways of living and loving, that are different from what I learned during my childhood with an abusive father.

The project
Nina is looking for participants who would like to take part in her research during the residency period. The idea of the whispering game project is based on a childhood game with that same name. ‘One person whispers a message to another, which is passed on through a line of people until the last player announces the message to the entire group. Errors typically accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last player differs significantly, and often amusingly, from the one uttered by the first.’

As part of my work I am inviting 5 people to play that game with me. In this case, instead of words, we are going to use actions to pass it through the line of participants. I will be the initiator of the game proposing an action called “The Ceremony” where daily objects take part. This will be the trigger to develop more actions together.

Would you like to join me? or do you have any questions?

Workshop: The Female Archive

this workshop aims to introduce women performance artists, to understand their practices and relate them to the present and put their concepts on the table in order to develop work in relation to theirs.

1 class € 7

whole workshop € 25

Sessions:

12th July at 11:30h -> the female archive : Yoko Ono

Yoko Ono, probably better known as the one that separated The Beatles.

Her work as an artist is very diverse. Member of Fluxus, she developed work using imagination as a very important tool. During her hard childhood in Japan, she often found herself playing games where she imagined delicious meals to eat to distract from her starvation. This is what later on, will trigger her other works.

During the workshop, we will have several scripts she wrote to be performed and interpreted in different ways for us.

14th July at 11:30h -> the female archive: Ana Mendieta

Ana Mendieta left Cuba when she was a child, during the “Peter Pan program”. She was brought to USA, leaving her family behind. In her work, she tries to reconnect to the land, the earth, and become one with it. She talks about her loss using her body and nature.

As an activity, Nina Orteu proposes to go to the beach and try to reenact or reinvent some of her pieces from the “Siluetas” series.

19th July at 11:30h -> the female archive: Rebecca Horn

Rebecca Horn has started exploring the concept of equilibrium with her body, and later on in her work, using kinetic structures. However, not related to that, she made a very interesting piece where she cut her own hair with a pair of scissors in front of a camera. Based on that, we are going to investigate during the workshop the importance of hair and its symbolic value while combining it with some of her equilibrium actions.

22nd July at 11:30h -> the female archive: Carolee Schneemann

Carolee Scheemann is known for her discourses on the body, sexuality and gender. In her piece interior scroll, she ritualistically stood naked on a table, painted her body with mud until she slowly exracted a paper scroll from her vagina while reading from it. I propose for the workshop to think about our bodies, reconnect to them, reactivate the pelvis/genital area as a center of energy and creativity.

Residency | Habitual Behavior of the Body | Patricia Vane

20 June 2016 CLOUD

bergrummet 02-10 juli 2016

Presentation: sunday 10 juli 20:00 u.

Labs: 5 july 10:00 till 13:00 / 7 july 9:00 till 11:00

please send an email if u want to join to: cloud.danslab@gmail.com (subject Patricia Vane)

price per Lab : 7€

Patricia Vane studied applied arts at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.

Currently working in the field of performance art: ‘I choreograph movement, compose sound and design costumes. Space and ambiance are a great contribution to my performances. Therefor I also style sets, make installations and capture my performances on video and in pictures.’

She started forming an ongoing research, using the disciplines dance, fashion design, sound design and visual art to give visual construction to the research.

Philosophizing about the world’s issues of today around segregation, crisis and populism, reading John Rawls justice theories and Erich Fromm’s social discourses, she went deeper into the motives of human behavior. Why are we discriminating. judging, making others lives miserable? Why do we make the other suffer? Why are we not in peace with one another? What makes us behaving bad towards each other? Where does this aggressiveness originate? What is its source?

The main answer that came along: the aggression comes out of those people who are behaving badly. And those people are we. We are the source. It derives from us. It comes from us. From within.

If it is indeed coming from within ourselves she can make a conclusion that in order to find non-belligerence amongst each other, we should find peace within ourselves. To do so, she has emphasized the great importance of the need of an individual state of happiness and came down to the essential question: How do we get happy*? A seemingly too simple question yet explicitly present in our entire human history.

This proposal for residence at Cloud is part of the happiness research where she studies the natural behavior of bodies/embodiments. In this particular section she will focus on the details of her own physical body being in her original positions. When is her body feeling most natural, safe, comfortable and so: when is the body most happy*?

Workshop

Butoh workshop | Natsu Nakajima | September 2016

26 May 2016 CLOUD

Organized in collaboration with Butoh Channel Berlin

14 – 18 September | 10:00-14:00 | €180 early bird
Facebook

We are happy to announce the second European tour of Natsu Nakajima in Berlin, the Hague, and Barcelona. Natsu Nakajima (1943 Sakhalin, Japan) is one of the founding members of Butoh movement in Tokyo since the 1960s, and is one of its foremost pioneers abroad.

Workshop description
Combining Hijikata’s choreographic methods with the improvisation intelligence taught by Kazuo Ohno, as well as the long choreographic and performance expertise of Nakajima herself, this workshop will prepare you for sensitive improvisation work, choreographic aptitude, and performance integrity. Natsu Nakajima will teach not only the physical techniques, but also the background of Butoh conceptions and ideas. Content:

Physical Exercise
- General exercise
- KATSUGEN activity (living vital force activity) by Noguchi Method
- body & vocalization
- playing game
Basic Butoh
- being nothing
- walking
Vocabulary (how to combine theatrical action & dancing movement)
- rhythm (time) and space
Various energy qualities
Transformation
Improvisation
Butoh-fu (Butoh Notation) from Hijikata’s work: how to use Butoh-fu and to combine with Hijikata’s method and Kazuo Ohno’s method.

About Natsu Nakajima
Natsu Nakajima (b. 1943 Sakhalin, Japan) has been one of the most prominent figures in Butoh dance since its foundation in Tokyo in the 1960s, and one of its foremost pioneers abroad. Training under both Hijikata Tatsumi and Kazuo Ohno, Nakajima went on to establish her own dance company, Muteki-sha, in 1969, with whom she has been performing and choreographing internationally since the early 1980s. Her highly acclaimed performance of ‘Niwa’ at LIFT ‘83 (London) marked the beginning of this international touring career, and led to performances at festivals such as FIND (Montreal), the Nancy Festival, and the Sydney Biennale. In addition to her performance and choreographic work, Nakajima has over thirty years of experience as a teacher, and has been one of the forerunners of dance for the disabled in Japan.

Ankoku Butoh (暗黒舞踏) – dance of darkness
Hijikata Tatsumi, who passed away in 1986, is the originator of Ankoku Butoh; and Ohno Kazuo (1906-2010), an extraordinary and rare dancer, was his great collaborator. Hijikata was like Picasso; every season, he would change the style of his works like a chameleon. This partly explains why each of his disciples developed very different working styles. Natsu Nakajima was among the founding members of the Ankoku Butoh movement and belongs to the first generation.

Ankoku Butoh is a movement in the performing arts that was born riding on the wave of counter-culture in post-war Japan in 1950-1960s. Now in Europe, and some other countries, the term “Ankoku” has been dropped from “Ankoku Butoh”, and the term “Butoh” has become more closely associated with these countries. Losing “ankoku” has resulted in losing sight of the original ideology from when Ankoku Butoh was created and has given rise to many misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

Whatever you may call it, darkness, spirituality, or even something formless, something that cannot be put into words, or simply, the unconscious, the inexplicable, the destroyed and disappeared… …we are actually talking about something that cannot be seen. Something that Hijikata called “ankoku”. Hijikata liked to use the word “yami” (shadowy darkness). It gives the feeling of something that is full of contradiction and irrationality, somewhere like the “chaos of eternal beginning”… To deconstruct Ankoku Butoh with “language” is moving further and further away from the joy of early Ankoku Butoh’s integral quest for “the body as the scene of fulfilled life”.
(from the lecture of Natsu Nakajima)

Presentation 13 June | 20:00 | Check Facebook
Movement Labs 1 – 9 June | 9:30 – 11:30 | Check Facebook

How can tangentiality propose new and politically subversive ways of working?

About the Residency
“SAD KING” is a new solo work that Malik has been creating under the mentorship of NYC choreographer Tere O’Connor, where he became interested in replacing/removing source material as a praxis for working politically. By brashly permitting tangentiality, this piece establishes thought and theory as choreographic form, while removing its materiality away from its source image in order to suss out radical subterranean politics. “SAD KING” nevertheless moves closer to the underground depths and complexities of a certain politics and does so in order to theorize with the body for a discernible political praxis.

Movement Labs – Tangential Movement (Contemporary Technique)
Tangential Movement is about finding new ways to move by permitting the body to move and stretch away from its source materiality. This class is about testing the extents of physicality without imposing codified technique, but playing with them in order to find new movement strategies and generation. The class will be based heavily in improvisation, and finish with phrase-material and stretching.

Costs: €7,- per movement lab

Residency|Laban Movement Analyses(LMA) Efforts branch Movement in music | Maya Felixbrodt

2 May 2016 CLOUD

25-31 May 2016

Workshop :Moving Music / 30/05/2016 from 20:00 till 22:00 / price 7€

performance/presentation: Time adds up / 31/05/2016 from 21:00 till 23:00/free

Maya Felixbrodt ‘s residency, end of May, is a research of LMA with the focus on Effort Factors,in and through different perspectives of experiencing music: composition, performance and audience.

Music is movement of sound in space. The prime manner of communication, preceding verbal communication, is the movement of our bodies. Body and mind are two parts constructing a whole. The mind is usually assigned as the motor behind inner intention, which portrays one’s movement. Inner intention in daily life, specifically in this case – in music, sound and its composing, production and experience, can be reached directly through a physical and movement approach.

The research introduces and explores with musicians and audience (of any genre and practise) methods for use of Laban Movement Analysis in music. Alongside the theoretical knowledge , in order to explore direct relation to sound, practical exercises are applied, with instrumentalists, vocalists, composers and general audience.

The research focuses on the Efforts branch of LMA – Time, Flow , Space and Weight and their combinations – States and Drives.

She has been researching in the last two years in all aspects of her musical and artistic activity : Viola playing, composition, working in processes with ensembles, musicians and artists collectives, improvisation, concerts programming, education and work with children. It started as a master research during master composition studies in the Royal Conservatory, The Hague, supervised by LMA specialist Alexandra Baybutt (UK) and concluded with a thesis. Since then she has continued the research on her own.

Music is movement of sound in space. The prime manner of communication, preceding verbal communication, is the movement of our bodies. Body and mind are two parts constructing a whole. The mind is usually assigned as the motor behind inner intention, which portrays one’s movement. Inner intention in daily life, specifically in this case – in music, sound (its composition, production and experience), can be reached directly through a physical and movement approach.

We will explore new way of approaching music and sound from movement perspectives: our movement and the sound’s movement. Without using common verbal musical vocabulary each can discover a rich palate of new possibilities for composition, sound production, practicing routines, ensemble work and communication with the audience.

The workshop introduces and explores with composers and musicians (of any genre, practice and level) methods for use of Laban Movement Analysis in composition and music. Alongside the theoretical knowledge, in order to explore direct relation to sound, practical exercises are applied, both with instrumentalists and musical materials of the participating composers.

This workshop focuses on the Efforts branch of LMA – Time, Flow, Space and Weight, and their combinations – States and Drives.

Workshop | The Sensation of Movement | Wilma Vesseur
Saturday 30 March, 10:00-18:00
Costs: €70,- (incl. lunch)

The sensation of movement is shifting. Shifting induces change within the space of the body or your body in relation to something else. We research change of weight, work on fluid movements and amaze ourselves about three-dimensionality of a gesture. A dance is also learned by moving yourself into it. Let us explore and enjoy in how that actually happens

07 May DEEP BROWN SEA

May we gather in a cathedral made of water and mud

where the heart beats like a drum

and the humming is made devoid of human sound.

The laboratories obsolete now give away their secrets

collected in iced pearls that once cascaded from mountains.

In Deep Brown Sea the world is simple and enormous. It is a giant vessel that is largely empty and every move and word echo for years. There are no transitions, nothing is to be arranged or to be accounted for. ‘Deep Brown Sea’ is a solo show by Billie Hanne.
The piece was shown in Brussels, Amsterdam, London, Thessaloniki and will later in 2016 travel to Iceland.

10 May VANDEWEYER AND HANNE IN CONCERT

The milk of a star that no longer hides the flesh in ignorance.
This slender book is all about face and form. Waterborne.

An encounter between dancer, poet Billie Hanne (BE) and vibraphonist, composer Els Vandeweyer (BE).
Vandeweyer’s ability to create harmonies like virtuoso fractals and her way of zigzagging through traditional material makes for an interesting combination with Hanne’s lyrical way of creating poetry by abstracting words and morphing them into new mythologies. This is their first artistic meeting.

Els Vandeweyer is currently engaged in Quat (with Fred Van Hove, Paul Lovens, and Martin Blume); Trio Grilo (with Ute Wassermann and Aleks Kolkowski); Spin Track (with Olaf Rupp and DJ Illvibe); a duo with Fred Van Hove, and participation in two orchestras (Pascal Niggenkemper´s Vision 7 and the Serenus Zeitblom Oktett).
In the next months Billie Hanne is performing in ‘Deep Brown Sea’, a solo on tour in Europe, ‘Melchior’ and ‘All for Big B!’, two pieces by her company Wheelgod, and ‘’Mud like Gold’ by Allen’s Line, the Julyen Hamilton Company.

13 + 14 May MELCHIOR (company piece)

“You are stupid!”, we told the watchman. We stole his key and locked him in eternal sleep.
There he bathed and looked younger than we could ever be.
Melchior did not disapprove, but busied himself with the World elsewhere.
“What can I do?”, he said. And we too saw he was better off taking care of his plants and horses, of his dahlias and sea star collection.
I remember one of us pointing at the waves until they became transparent and we entered a new day.

MELCHIOR is the imagined space in which new action is being produced and is lightly threaded by the facts of common history, rather than the burden of it.
The action itself is sharp and precise, a direct implication of the action that precedes.
Words are spoken occasionally and reveal a poetry of place and moment, of brevity and ephemeral gravity before they are let go off and disappear.
This is a company piece performed by Wheelgod under direction of Billie Hanne for four dancers.

10-13 May WORKSHOP PROFESSIONALS

——> 4-day class open to dancers, musicians and other professionals or equivalent

An essential class for dancers wanting to explore and produce poetry in performance.
The dancer who makes dance and poetry from a body in motion deals with an intimate mythology that is raw and textured, three dimensional.
Technically the areas of bone and muscle in relationship to gravity are worked on to facilitate an integrated speech. Therefor tongue and body must find spatial resonance in imagery and meaning as well as in euphonic qualities. The combining of elements in space, both linear and sequential, radial and instant, unite the material and weave it into the fabric of the dance.
Poetry then is a voluminous, changing complex of body, voice, form, space and time.

Poet and dancer Billie Hanne makes work through radical handling of poetry and dance, of body and tongue.
Her work presents the refined body in space and reveals the matrix in which speech and action take place. The result is a rare and physical lyricism that is quick-witted in its dealing with time, space, object and light.
From May 7th till May 14th her work will be shown in different locations for performance in Den Haag as well as sharing her work process in two workshops. One for professionals, one for amateurs.
You are invited and welcome!

Billie Hanne started her artistic career as dancer and poet in the Julyen Hamilton Company ‘Allen’s Line’, in 2009. In 2012 she established Wheelgod as a platform to make ensemble pieces under her direction. Currently they are performing ‘Melchior’. A piece for four dancers. ….. She is also a growing soloist and is on tour with her solo ‘Deep Brown Sea’. This is her fifth solo work.
Billie Hanne performed in Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, England, Norway, Greece, France and later this year in Iceland
Billie’s Roos is supported by Gemeente Den Haag, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Zuid-Holland and Gravin van Bylandt Stichting

Residency | Marlieke Burghouts

15 April 2016 CLOUD

2 – 8 May
Presentation 5 May 18:00 Facebook
Movement lab monday till thursday from 100:00 till 11:15 am

During the residency Marlieke Burghouts is going to deepen out the first stages of her research into the embodiment and staging of ‘willfulness’ and ‘willingness’.
(Sara Ahmed Willful subjects Duke Press 2014 )

This research is conducted in relation to the whole body, but in particularly in relation to the action of raising the arm and the diverse meanings and readings this gesture can have.

My interest lays in investigating how the individual body, in this case myself, experiences willingness and willfulness and how that influences the actions and shaping of the body. Where do my decisions spatially and physically bring me?

The work will be created in collaboration with sound artists Jeske de Blauw en Mark IJzerman.
About Marlieke Burghouts
Marlieke Burghouts is a dancer, choreographer and teacher active in the Netherlands. In 2014 she graduated from the MA Choreography of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London, UK. There she developed a deep interest in researching how the body is being shaped within society. Specifically she researches how we make decisions, how the physical body is ‘inscribed’ and shaped and how our identity is formed through culture and societal structures.
Marlieke has taught modern classes in upstate New York, New york City, Rotterdam, the Hague and Delft and will continue to teach modern classes and improvisation workshops throughout the Netherland and Europe

Costs: €7,00
Doors open at 18:15
Session starts at 18:45
We finish at 23:00

ABOUT THE UNDERSCORE
The Underscore is a vehicle for incorporating Contact Improvisation into a broader arena of improvisational dance practice; for developing greater ease dancing in spherical space—alone and with others; and for integrating kinesthetic and compositional aspects while improvising. It allows for a full spectrum of energetic and physical expressions, embodying a range of forms and changing states. Its practice is familiar yet unpredictable.
(Nancy Stark Smith)

A quote by Nancy Stark Smith (from “Caught Falling”)
“You can’t do it wrong”
As long as your intention is to do the Underscore (and you haven’t inadvertently mistaken this for a tango class or nightclub), you can relax and assume that your actions and interpretations won’t be “wrong”.

ABOUT PABLO
Pablo (Pawel Wysocki) is a musician who grew up between the blues, the rock, the jazz and the folk.
He is a songwriter and composer, and used to be a singer and guitar player in the Polish band Transcendent. As a musician he participated in theater performances and musical projects. In the past two years he has worked as improviser for dancers, playing the acoustic guitar.

ABOUT YANIV
Yaniv has enthusiastically explored Contact Improvisation in the past few years. It has been a home for him to return to his movement and to take it with him on his travels. He has been studying and exploring his movement with Nancy Stark Smith, Daniel Lepkoff, Julyen Hamilton, Mirva Makinnen and many other wonderful teachers, dancers and friends. He incorporates in his practice Human Design, Vipassana and Yoga. Photography and Music are part of his artistic life journey. He has also worked as Software Consultant for 12 years. www.yanivginton.com
