E-Motional: rethinking dance
Fragile – mapping bodies
a dance production directed by Cosmin Manolescu
[Call for performers]
Fragile – mapping bodies:a dance production directed by Cosmin Manolescu[Call for performers] Fragile – mapping bodies [working title] is a new dance project to be created by Romanian choreographer Cosmin Manolescu in 2014-2015. The project is developed under the co-production strand of the European programme E-Motional: rethinking dance, and under the label of the Serial Paradise Company/ Gabriela Tudor Foundation, in partnership with the Association of Professional Dance Choreographers of Latvia (Riga), Fabrica de Movimentos (Porto) and Centre de Création Chorégraphique Luxembourgeois - TROIS C-L (Luxembourg). Fragile will research the theme of the e-motional body, viewed as a personal geography made of memories embodied on the skin, physical traumas and signs, and all the histories that a body could tell. A political project about identity, researched in different spaces (private houses, hotels, streets, studios), which will also question the fragility and vulnerability of our daily lives. Through its vision, the project represents an organic part connected to the more general theme of the E-Motional programme, of rethinking dance and of finding the right language of expression.
SELECTION PROCESS
Fragile will be developed in collaboration with 3 performers from different EU countries to be selected by choreographer Cosmin Manolescu following a series of workshops conducted in Porto, Luxembourg, Bucharest and Riga. The workshop in Porto is scheduled for May 5-9, 2014 and will include daily sessions on the proposed themes, personal coaching time for participants and a closing sharing event open to the local audience.
