IN RITUAL — Yuko Kominami

> Work in progress

This research project aims to explore the ritual aspect of dance. Ritual is a form of connection between the world, the environment and the community that is constantly evolving and changing. It can contribute to the rebirth of a person or community, facilitating change, releasing tension, and affirming wisdom and knowledge. In many traditions, dance has been associated with ritual. Today, in our contemporary urban life, certain theatrical performances also serve to stir and change beings, to touch the very core of human existence.

This research is a collaboration between two artists from different backgrounds: contemporary dance artist Joana Von Mayer Trindade and Butoh artist Yuko Kominami. This encounter allows them to explore different traditional rituals and to study their functions, processes and the boundary between the artist and the spectator. The aim is to search for a new performance-ritual formula to rediscover connection, change and celebration.

LOCKER RUF — Annick Schadeck

> Work in progress

LOCKER RUF is a collaboration between the writer Luc Spada and the choreographer Annick Schadeck. What texture can the text – thought, written, formulated or heard – bring to the movement, to the choreographic narrative? How do they feed each other? The notion of expectation, a universal human phenomenon, was chosen as the starting point for this artistic exchange.

STRAIGHT ON TRACK — Klaus Maßem

> Screening of the work

This work was created during a public drawing performance from 01.09.2007 to 30.09.2007. It was an event in the interdisciplinary project of the Dance Palace within the programme Luxembourg – European Capital of Culture 2007.

The numerous figures drawn by Klaus Maßem are intertwined and acquire a structure that tends towards figuration by means of the stain.

Spontaneous and direct, the process focuses on the drawing of human figures. Like a dance, the drawings incorporate a structure through the figurative and linear representation of the numerous figures in various shades of grey painted with different brushes.
