site meetings
We are three artists working in a variety of media,: drawing, film, internet, sound, installation and dance. Through these media we wish to choreograph and perfom a response to the site as it offers a place of arrival, a meeting place for an embodied process that stems out of a shared daily movement practice. As visitors to a site, we will receive and give, trusting that the space will provide a point of resistance and potential for transformation through creativity as we explore presence with meeting points in contemporary culture.
The material we wish to participate with is our continued collaboration and daily movement practice.
Since March 09 Boettcher and Kerin have been exploring sites of meeting through movement and choreography. Through inner listening and movement, unconscious meetings are manifested into presence arriving at points of resistance and transending. In May 09 they performed a commissioned live site specific work at the Iniscealtra Arts Festival, Mountshannon, Co. Clare. (See image of Freeze attached). Since October 09 Maeve Collins joined the daily movement practice of morning studio sessions where the 3 artists explore Mind Body Centering, meditation, yoga, authentic movement, contact improvisation, recording and tracking, writing and shared discourse in their search for presence as they develop their own individual choreographic processes..
In their ongoing research they are exploring new meeting points of engagement such as the internet, text messaging, skype, and how public/social space has changed. These meetings offer potential for new work to emerge and meet audience in liminal spaces.
Their diverse backgrounds from contemporay dance, fine art, perfomance, film making and design inform their multi-disciplinary collaborative process. Currently they are exploring presence in contemporary culture by listening inside and outside. They welcome the opportunity to do this through site specific performance.
“The concept of site specific offers a space that we meet or not meet through our chosen points of postioning - spatial, physical, ephemeral, energetic, framing the context in which we move. We approach site specific as a framework for moving through the familiar to a liminal space that releases the unknown into a creative alignment through presence as the audience witnesses/participates. These new points of relation offers new social spaces, new places for meeting, new public art spaces for work to emerge.”
