Tue 26.06 - Wed 27.06.12

Every two years a new generation of dancers and choreographers graduates from the PARTS dance school in Brussels, which was founded and is headed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. One invariably sees these young artists appearing soon afterwards with fresh perspectives on dance and performance. The international tour of their graduation pieces always gives an exciting foretaste of what’s to come.

Working Title Platform #4 - Alma Söderberg makes choreographies that include music, sound, rhythm and singing in relation to movement and dance. In her solo work that resulted in the piece Cosas and will be followed by TRAVAIL, a practice of collecting fragments of image, text or anything else that might catch ones attention while reading the newspaper is the foundation of a sound and movement collage.

Working Title Platform#4 - The formula of Performance Kit is pretty clear; a performer enters the stage, performs a solo and gets challenged by questions through an audio score. Nevertheless the outcome is way more complex; it’s a show, a practice, an audio-guide, an analysis, it entails research and searches for hidden treasures at the same time.

Fri 15.06.12

Working Title Platform#4 - Dolores Hulan works around the idea of layering and constructing scenes
that ceaselessly aim to give a new definition and turn to events at any
given moment.
The work constructs and deploys itself through the multi layering of its
various elements - movement, costume, sound and light – which
eventually all share the same weight in the work.

Jolika Sudermann and Alma Söderberg noticed that when we speak to each other we are actually singing and dancing with each other. A Talk is a light but virtuoso game of word compositions and language improvisation, performed by a charming and refreshing female duo!

The Extra Sensorial Garden is a fictional garden that has been artificially created to stimulate the visitor’s sensory system and evoke strong physical experiences. There is not always a lot to see, but instead there’s a lot to be sensed.

The Swedish-German performance artist Eva Meyer-Keller is obsessed with food. In Death is certain (in the Kaaistudio’s in 2007) she condemned a number of vegetables to death. Now she’s cooking up a series of disasters. She will be bringing them to you live, using soup, juice, sauce and other ingredients. How hungry does an earthquake make you?

Alexander Nieuwenhuis recently went to Colombia to construct a completely auto-sustainable theatre-space with that could be transported by bike. He entered into dialogue with the indigenous people and gathered their incredible stories about all sorts of things. You can hear from the man himself how far his research took him. You will cycle with him to his inflatable theatre somewhere in the Brussels area.

It’s the latest trend: producing food in the middle of the city. The aim of Voorraad BRXL Réserve is to demonstrate that urban farming in Brussels is alive and has potential. Each day one of several existing initiatives will introduce itself and offer products to taste.

Very occasionally, something makes your hair stand on end. Nick Steur’s FREEZE! is just such a performance: small in scale, big on ideas. Nick Steur creates a pile of natural stones. He doesn’t use any glue or trickery, just intense concentration and ‘a balance between my own willpower and that of the stone’.  FREEZE!, won the KBC Young Theatre Prize 2011 at Theater Aan Zee.

Our cities contain many unofficial leisure spaces. These bits of wasteland have become increasingly popular with social and cultural societies and action groups. They often work with local residents to create public parks, or allotments. In the morning, projects in the canal zone, Kuregem and Molenbeek will be visited by bike. In the afternoon, there will be a debate at the Kaaitheater.

It all started in my garage, when I was listening to a radio programme about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This turned out to be the first step on a winding path where I came across a white bear, a green plant, and lots of folks answering to the name of Robert. Robert Plant is the result of this spiritual journey...

The open conference announced in the Burning Ice brochure is to be replaced by a private meeting of the members of the network. This meeting will also take place at the Kaaitheater, but will not be open to the public. - How can we make the way we farm and what we eat more sustainable? That’s
the question occupying The New Food Frontier. You’ll find this network
of thinkers and doers both in the field and at the table; in farming,
horticultural and food businesses; and in research groups, at
universities, pressure groups etc.

With a sharp instrument he cuts pieces out of the photos: glaciers, sea-beds, natural panoramas, flowers, plants, animals, all things that might be threatened with extinction or have already become extinct. The Italian artist Cristian Chironi dissects images and structures and creates new and contrasting relationships. He wants the viewer to have the same reaction as to a perfect masterpiece of art, because he wonders whether we aren’t all tourists looking at the Himalayas with a cheeseburger in our hands.

Opening Night - Carolyn Steel follows the trail of our food, from countryside to city, via markets and supermarkets, kitchens and dining rooms, waste disposal and back. She asks herself how we can use food more effectively to better understand our cities, to improve their design, and to make them into more pleasant places to live. Carolyn Steel will present her work and join a conversation with Brigitte van der Sande, chief editor of the publication Food for the City. A Future for the Metropolis.

An American of Korean origin, Young Jean Lee develops theatre that destabilises cultural representations of identity and refers us back to our own stereotypes. This time she tackles the politics of gender. Featuring six charismatic female theoreticians and performers, Untitled Feminist Show humorously undermines the social constructs of the masculine and the feminine.

CANCELLED - We are inviting Árpád Schilling to give a one-off talk, putting his trilogy into
context along with the relationship between the social and the artistic
that exists throughout his work. It will be about the choices made and
the theatre’s political dimension in the troubled context of Hungary
today. It presents a unique opportunity to meet an impassioned artist.

The charismatic performer Benoît Lachambre transforms on stage like a moulting animal. But is he in a mode of regression or one of advanced evolution? Or do these terms relate more to a society that has lost any sense of the future?

Kate McIntosh is already known for performances such as Dark Matter and Hair from the Throat, evidence of a rich, somewhat bizarre imagination and superior craftsmanship. In Untried Untested,
she once again goes hard at it. The performers test various materials
and each other and so find themselves in situations that are often
funny, frequently unexpected and sometimes downright dangerous.

What is personal? How do you present it or express it in artistic work? Christine De Smedt took these and other questions to fellow choreographers Jonathan Burrows, Alain Platel, Xavier Le Roy and Eszter Salomon. On the basis of these interviews, she created portraits of four artists which evolve into a portrait of herself.
