Hit the Stage# 44
Monty Antwerpen
During my research project held in Paris at La Cité des Arts, earlier this year, I contacted Joelle Adrien, neuro-scientist of
sleep at the Inserm/Paris.
Intrigued by the origins of our dreams and its scientifique purpose, I started a conversation with Joelle Adrien.
This new research project evolves around
the origin of dreams
(from the scientific point of view)
versus
the origin of artistic creation
(intellectual property in art, music, literature and dance)
During ARTinternational Istanbul 2014 Chantal Yzermans presented a first intervention based on 'TOTEM ANCESTOR', the solo dance by the American choreographer Merce Cunningham, made in 1942. Transforming the legal restrictions surrounding the intellectual properties of this iconic solo by Merce Cunningham, she presented a live sound installation, sharing only the breathing interpretation of this dance for a theatre audience as well as sharing by streaming it on Turkish Radio.
During HIt The Stage in Monty we presented a performance lecture with Joelle Adrien and Chantal Yzermans.
Joelle Adrien introduced the audience into the Dream and the Genisis of Body Movements while Chantal Yzermans shared her personal re-appropriation of 'COUNTDOWN', a work by Beyoncé, where she and her team appropriated the movement repertory of Anne Theresa De Keersmaeker/Rosas.
This performance lecture was streamed live, for a broader audience on
