José Navas
Vancouver, BC
Calm Abiding

José Navas/Ipsita Nova Dance Projects Choreographer José Navas daringly combines high emotion with strict formalism. This creation which premiered at the 2006 Canada Dance Festival and garnered Bhattacharya a nomination for Outstanding Performance (Dora Mavor Moore Award), consists of pure dance and complete abstraction and is fuelled by the belief that the simplicity of movement can be more powerful than words. Calm Abdiing is a co-production with the National Arts Centre.

AUSLÄNDER

A dance theatre piece by Martin InthamoussĂș.
As a Uruguayan artist, I have had to face the problem of emigration of my own country. Distance, thus, has played a very important role. The virtual and the real start to be confused and fused. Distances are shorter. The notion of distance, time and space change utterly. Changes are reflected in the body and its quality in the movement. The body is in one place but at the same time feeling being somewhere else. Fit in one space but not belonging to that particular place. The Cartesian duality starts fighting in our life, mind in one place, body somewhere else.

AUSLÄNDER in this way I will tell the story of many of us who had to exile our countries to find a new identity that is not that of the new country but not anymore the one from our homeland. Identity and how it affects people’s behavior. Oppression and challenge. Missing and becoming part of the new world. Borders and feelings. Being at home or becoming “auslĂ€nder”.
