You may remember that we issued a call specifically for very short films created while under stay-at-home orders, or while practicing physical distancing. We’re planning to release those films in serial fashion on our social media beginning very soon, then host a FREE online screening of the complete collection. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to catch those releases! See below for more info on the associated Artist Chats.
Artists of so many kinds are living differently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this chat, an international panel of Sans Souci’s contributing artists will discuss questions of staying creative right now. What does it mean to be creatively hungry? Has your practice shifted? How? What do you see ‘after’ these times? Join us for the Zoom chat moderated by Keith Haynes, and featuring: • “Morning Coffee” director Deny Tri Ardianto (Indonesia) • “Day 27” director Charli Brissey (USA) • “Isolations” director Talia Shea Levin and choreographer Maritza Navarro (USA)
Artist Chat: Intersectionality and Identity in Screendance
An international panel of Sans Souci’s contributing artists will discuss how race, racial justice, and gender and sexual orientation and expression are involved in their work. We’ll ask: How do you think about the bodies you put onscreen in your work? How do you consider an audience’s lenses for viewing your work while making it? What role does screendance in general play in this conversation? How would you change the scene (dance, film, dance film, film festivals, academy, any of the above) in the next 50 years to create a better landscape for all involved?
Join us for the Zoom chat moderated by Cara Hagan, and featuring: • “Making Men” directors – Antoine Panier & Harold George (Belgium) • “Jah Intervention” directors Welket Bungué (Portugal) & Daniel Santos (Brazil) • “TIA: THIS is Africa” director Matthieu Maunier-Rossi (France)
Artist Chat: Bodies in Spaces – where site specificity meets the screen
Sans Souci has a long history of screening dance films created for and with specific, memorable locations, intersecting and overlapping with ‘site-specific’ choreography. We’ll ask an international panel of Sans Souci contributing artists how they moved into this kind of work, and about the process of putting movement in the site (access, choreography, improvisation, and adaptation, and challenges). What concerns about an environment draw an artist to it?
Join us for the Zoom chat, moderated by Heike Salzer, and featuring: • “Etch” directors Abby Warrilow & Lewis Gourlay (U.K.) • “The Last Children” director Fu Le (France) • “Genna” director Thomas Delord (Belgium) • “Habitat” directors Sheila Garcia & Inés Valderas (Spain)
Members of Sans Souci’s curatorial team will discuss criteria for selection and trends in the field of screendance. We’ll tackle topics like changes to the field since the onset of the pandemic, screendance as a tool for pedagogy, and the well-loved topic of where we stand in the evolution of screendance. Conversation features SSF’s co-Artistic Directors Ana Baer and Michelle Bernier, plus long-time SSF collaborators and curators Rosely Conz and Heike Salzer. Hope to see you there!
We have started a new project for dancers and dance students from all over the world, and it would be great if all the dancers that you know and have contact with could also participate. We simply want to set an example that even now dance gives joy, and that all dancers worldwide are a big family in dance.
We start this year’s 33rd festival edition of euro-scene Leipzig with a real drum roll. The breathtaking opening piece ONE SONG by Belgian star choreographer Miet Warlop celebrates life, community and diversity.
Tuesday, 7 November 2023 at 7.30 pm
Schauspiel Leipzig / Large Stage
Miet Warlop + NT Gent (Belgium): ONE SONG
Before the performance: Opening of the 33rd euro-scene Leipzig with short words of welcome
Afterwards: Reception of the Embassy of Belgium / Representation of Flanders in Germany
This prelude sets the tone for what awaits you. For just as fast-paced and exhilarating as this opening, the festival continues on a total of six days. The programme alternates between dream and reality, conjures up love and empathy as well as virtuosity and ecstasy. Look forward with us to extraordinary and independent artistic signatures as well as important socio-political and much-discussed themes, for example war and peace, colonialism or the connection between capitalism and the climate crisis.
A total of 15 productions, including one world premiere, six German premieres and two co-productions of euro-scene Leipzig, come this year from Belgium, Germany, France, Greece, Kosovo, Portugal, Slovenia, Syria and Ukraine.
