[CI-Announce] MARTHA MOORE: Performance Workshop, November 9-13, 2009, Schwelle7, Berlin/Germany

[J.B.]

Assembling Narratives
5 day intensive Performance Workshop with Martha Moore
WHEN: November, 9-13, 12:00-18:00
WHERE: Schwelle 7, Berlin, Germany


ASSEMBLING NARRATIVES
The Construction and Deconstruction of a Character



This workshop proposes to explore the notions of building a solo  
around a purely fictional auto-biography, where movement and text can  
co-exist in a non-linear fashion.

The idea is to create an open system of situations and fragments that  
will be built up, altered, and torn down daily.

Watching and commenting on each other’s work will be an integral part  
of the process.



We will begin each day with a warm-up intended to center the  
individual within the group, interlacing the vertical preparation of  
Ba Gua (style WU), the use of voice, and different somatic approaches.

This will be followed by a group improvisation, using simple (and  
sometimes not so simple) spatial constructs to develop listening  
skills before concentrating on individual work.

We will move back and forth constantly between improvising and  
composing, in and out of order.



The workshop will culminate in an evening of Performance/showing on  
Friday, November, 13 at 8:30 pm

CV MARTHA MOORE



Martha Moore belongs to a generation of dance artists with one foot in  
modern dance and the other firmly planted in the post modern. She  
holds a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the University of California- 
Santa Barbara (dir. Rona Sande), where she worked intensively with a  
former assistant to Mary Wigman and Kurt Jooss, Isa Partch-Bergsohn,  
as well as several members of the Graham, Limon and Cunningham  
compagnies. She received a Master of Fine Arts degree in dance under  
the direction of Martha Myers, exploring somatic methods,  
improvisation and choregraphy. During this time she received a  
scholarship to the American Dance Festival and presented her work , «A  
Question of Procedure» under the direction of Lucas Hoving. She then  
joined the dance staff at Connectcut College before moving to New York  
City in 1977.



 From 1975 to 1983 , she danced and collaborated with several music  
and danse improvisational companies and worked on a film with the  
Entourage Music and Theatre Ensemble for the Nebraska Public  
Television. She was selected to present her works in such venues as  
the Dance Theatre Workshop, The Door, and the 92nd Street Y, and  
create work for The Yard in Martha’s Vineyard. During this time she  
also danced and collaborated with the artists Stuart Pimsler and Ara  
Fitzgerald.

In 1980 she presented her first evening length work in Paris and then  
moved there permanently in 1983.



She was artist in residency at Die Werkstatt in Dusseldorf in 1984 and  
formed her company Toss in 1985. She has performed for several artists  
on stage and in film, notably Mark Tompkins, Lila Greene, Stephanie  
Aubin, Charles Cré-Ange, and Jacques Patarozzi. In 1993 she created  
with Patricia Lopez the film "Killing was Easy" (Réalis. Sylvia  
Callé), selected for the "Festival des Assassins" at the Cinémathèque  
de Paris.



In 1995, she co-founded the collective company «Les Penelopes» and  
collaborated with the Quatuor Albrecht Knust for the re-creation of  
«Continuous Project Altered Daily» by Yvonne Rainer and Steve Paxton’s  
«Satisf’n Lover», and later with Dominique Brun, Valeska Gert’s «La  
Mort» and «La Sorciere» of Mary Wigman.

 From 1992 to 2000, she was regularly invited for teaching residencies  
at the European Center for New Dance Development in Arnhem, as well as  
a commissioned work for the twin school in Dusseldorf. At the same  
time, she began creating a  series of duets and performance  
installations in collaboration with various dance artists:Anne Koren,  
Sally Silvers , Isabelle Marteau, Christine Corday… and continues this  
process now with the New York choreographer Ara Fitzgerald.

She currently contributes  work to the feminist performance  
collective, femmeuses (directed by Cecile Proust), and collaborates  
with the sculptor Félix Perrotin in the performance series, the john  
and jane installations, and for her latest work that was easy.

She performed in «Fuck Yeah !» for the Nature Theatre of Oklahoma in  
May 2009 during their residency at Les Laboratoires d’Aubervilliers.



She has taught professional classes and workshops for several national  
choreographic centers and companies in Europe, as well as for the  
«Centre National de la Danse», and the «Ménagerie de Verre» in Paris.
