This year, in what is its 6th edition, if offers an immersive experience in the world of audiovisual dance, comprising installations, screenings and samples of international videodance freely distributed among different spaces of Naves Matadero and Cineteca Madrid.
“The idea of presenting the main action of FIVER 2018 in Naves Matadero - International Living Arts Centre comes from our having identified a need to create interactions between dance and audiovisuals in Madrid, within a broader and more international context that embraces a variety of creative formats for dance on screen and is -at the same- time a meeting point for the country’s dance on screen world”, they explain.
FIVER 2018 pays tribute to British artist Billy Cowie. A key director in the investigation and production of dance for screen using 3D tools, he will be presenting for the first time ever in Spain, a monograph featuring works on various installation media. His retrospective will be rounded off by the screening of pieces that he himself will select and present in the Sala Azcona at the Cineteca Madrid.
Other actions that will be taking place in FIVER throughout the year will be: the FIVER Videodance on-line video archive, available on its website and visited since it was created by some 300,000 users from 145 countries; cycles of dance films in cinemas and cinematheques; FIVER training programs including the academic seminars “Let´s talk about dance” or the scenic dance cycle “DanzaJoven” and the mainstay and primary objective of FIVER today, the workshops for the training of directors of videodance.
FIVER 2018 Exhibition International Videodance Exhibition (Part One)
19 May
TIME: 8.30pm
VENUE: Sala Azcona
DURATION: 75 min approx.
Works that are awarded prizes in FIVER are some of the best pieces of videodance that can be found anywhere in the world today. Their technical and artistic quality make them a must see for lovers of this hybrid genre which, in the case of FIVER, includes works of videodance, animation, videoclips, and documentaries. The vast majority of the world-class works that have been submitted and selected for the 6th edition of the 2018 FIVER festival have never been screened in Spain until now.
3D retrospective with a talk by the artist Billy Cowie
(Extracts from Art of Movement, Extracts from Under Flat Sky, Jenseits
Tango of Solitude and T’es pas la seule)
20 May
TIME: 6.30pm
VENUE: Sala Azcona
DURATION: 90 min approx. Including the talk and the projections
Art of Movement is a 30-minute dance work choreographed by Billy Cowie. It takes the form of a series of short sections of from three to four minutes that make up a treatise on the art of choreography. Each section is preceded by an introduction that explains the specific technique that will be explored in the ensuing section. Extracts from Under Flat Sky is a meditative work for two dancers, interpreted by Simone Schmidt and Kanako Yamamoto. It is structured into several short sections interspersed with recordings of poetry and words projected onto a screen.
Jenseits is a 12-minute duet choreographed by Billy Cowie and danced by Oxana Panchenko, based on Cowie’s poem Beginnings and Endings. The dance takes place on two vertical (and virtual) white staircases spaced apart in such a way that you can hardly see the two dancers at the same time.
Tango in solitude is a real-size stereoscopic installation, a 5-minute solo performance choreographed by Billy Cowie and danced by Amy Hollingsworth. T’es pas la seule is a five-minute loop featuring three short dances presented in the form of a stereoscopic installation.
