Taking Space #4- MODVÆGT

STATENS KUNSTFOND fejrer 50 års jubilæum med en række events i hele landet

I år er det 50 år siden, at Folketinget vedtog loven om Statens Kunstfond. Siden da er der blevet skabt over 1.200 kunstværker til det offentlige rum og givet støtte til mere end 30.000 kunstnere, projekter og kunstindkøb fordelt af de mere end 300 personer, der gennem årene har siddet i de forskellige udvalg. Jubilæet bliver over de næste uger fejret ved en række begivenheder over hele Danmark – en for hver af de syv kunstarter, Statens Kunstfond dækker (læs mere her).

I Aalborg bliver jubilæet fejret med:

 Stedspecifik luftdans på Nordkraft

MODVÆGT (med undertitlen Taking Space #4) er det fjerde projekt i en række stedspecifikke luftdansforestillinger af koreograf/danser Esther Wrobel. Hvert projekt en helt igennem unik luftdansoplevelse skabt af Esther i samarbejde med skiftende kunstnere. Projekterne er designet specielt til udvalgte steder, rum eller bygninger, og denne gang er turen kommet til Nordkrafts Kedelhal.

Målet med forestillingen er at udforske nye former for mobilitet og forbinde fritsvævende kroppe med musik, videokunst og installationer. En væg eller søjle kan blive til et dansegulv og en bunke metalskrald blive forvandlet til en flot skulptur. Vores vante opfattelse af et rums opbygning og æstetik udfordres og bliver en påmindelse om, at der altid findes nye perspektiver på det, vi tager for givet.

MODVÆGT opføres kun onsdag den 12. november kl. 17.00, 19.00 og 21.00 (varighed 20 min. pr. gang) Fri entré – bare mød op i Kedelhallen!

New Circus in Ghana- African footprint International (AFI)

During 2010-11, dancers from AFI have been studying at Performers House in Silkebrog at the New Circus line. The long term plan was to introduce new circus to African performing arts. Give an opportunity for AFI to develop a new way into circus and hopefully spread the influence in other African countries. The second stage after the Ghanian's finish stuying at Performers House, was to go with them back to Ghana, teach workshops and make the first steps of establishing a practice structure and space so that they can keep developing the newly acquired skills. First visit to Ghana has just come to a close. A very inspiring project that involves a huge amount of talented Ghanian's that I believe can make a change. A part from myself the collaborating teacher is Josephine Wullf Randrop and the rigger Ariellah Winther. The project is supported and initiated by CKU. Next phase in Ghana will take place in October 2012
