Performance invite 17-06-10 Sweden

The performance dates approach.....
“Site Meetings 170610” is a LIVE performance broadcast
from a specific street sculpture site in the AbunDANCE International Choreography and Dance Festival, Karlstad, Sweden, performed by Alexandra Boettcher, Maeve Collins & Maria Kerin,
using two-way Skype new media and video projection for audience to experience it live
in the Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon, Co.Clare
on 17th June 2010 at 11am and 1pm.

In this unique performance that removes boundaries, Alexandra Boettcher will be performing in the Courthouse Gallery simultaneously to the performers in Sweden. Both will be experienced by audiences in Ireland and Sweden through the merging of live performance and new media technology.
 
Ennistymon based artists Alexandra Boettcher, Maeve Collins and Maria Kerin have been selected to participate in the Site Specific section of ABUNDANCE, an international Choreoghraphy and Dance festival in its 3rd year. There will be 6 live performances in Sweden over 3 days with the final day skyped to the Courthouse Gallery.  Through a variety of media: drawing, film, internet, sound, installation and dance they will choreograph and perform a response to the site as it offers a place of arrival, a meeting place for a live embodied movement process that stems out of a shared daily movement practice. As visitors to a site, they will receive and give, trusting that the space will provide a point of resistance and potential for transformation through creativity. This leads to exploration through presence and embodied movement with meeting points in contemporary culture. Boettcher, Collins and Kerin are, since March 2009, in the process of exploring, developing and performing Dance works live through New Media, mainly skype and the internet, by engaging with site and audience, locally, nationally and internationally. This coalition of artists wish to create experimental independent art and a wider context for Irish contemporary dance works, growing from the local to international.
