LSD #5: Co- (in 3 parts)

Co- (in 3 parts) is a time and theme based, research and performance structure by william | bilwa | costa.

Performers:

Elizabeth Ward (US) dance
Elisabeth Schilling (DE) dance
Amanda Piña (CL) dance
Camille Seger (CL) dance
Edith Mendoza Pacheco (MX) dance
Franziska Koppensteiner (AT) action
Jasmin Schaitl (AT) action
William “Bilwa” Costa (US) sound

Based on the collaborative practice of William “Bilwa” Costa and Jasmin Schaitl, Co- (in 3 parts) addresses repetition, simultaneity, and duration; and focuses on the point where actions phase, oscillate, and/or conjoin.

Performance:
The public performance begins promptly at 19:00 and lasts for exactly 60 minutes.
The audience will arrive to an “already in progress” performance of a 3 hour structure,
witnessing only the third hour of structure.

Structure:
Part 1) tempo – stillness 30 mins.
Part 2) proximity – distance 60 mins.
Part 3) transformation – alteration 90 mins.

Over the course of three days a group of dancers, performance/action-based artists, and sound artists will work, together and independently, on interpreting the structure’s themes and durations. They will determine how they manifest and the order in which they are executed. On the third day, the research will culminate in a public performance.

Let’s Share Dances (L.S.D.) is a new format offered by nadaLokal
in cooperation with the Austrian Ministry of Movement Affairs (BMfB).

nadaLokal invites people to share their dances, movement ideas and choreographic scores with the interested community. L. S. D. is not about training and not about leisure, but considers dance as a way of expanding consciousness. Like writers of the Fin de siècle used to share their works in Viennese cafés, artists can share their dances at the nadaLokal. Dance as a common experience, free of charge and nourished by all participants. Let’s Share Dances!

nadaLokal provides the studio at Reindorfgasse and takes over the organization of the dance sessions. L. S. D. will take place two to five days before the monthly events, two or three hours per day. If you want to share a traditional, forgotten, contemporary, futuristic, animal or alien dance and/or want to try out a new dance, don’t hesitate to contact us at office@nadalokal.at.
