COME TOGETHER: Beauty, Bauhaus & The Beast

A festival of similarities and differences

Three Amsterdam-based choreographers Nicole Beutler, Andrea Božić and Keren Levi are organising the interdisciplinary festival COME TOGETHER: Beauty, Bauhaus and the Beast on 15, 16 and 17 May 2014. We have lived and worked in Amsterdam for many years and have come together increasingly to create space for exchange and reflection through art. This is the first time we present our work together. The three-day festival takes place at the Frascati Theatre and the Flemish Cultural Centre De Brakke Grond in Amsterdam.

…

At the festival COME TOGETHER: Beauty, Bauhaus and the Beast, we present our works alongside each other and invite the audience to experience the multiple perspectives in a single context. In the space between the three performances – their similarities, shared fascinations and differences – a fourth performance will come into being: a Zeigeist performance the audience is invited to discover themselves.

The festival presents three performances Intergalactic (An Attempt to Overcome the Binary) by Andrea Božić, Robert Pravda and Julia Willms | Tilt, The Dry Piece by Keren Levi | Neverlike and 4: STILL LIFE by Nicole Beutler | NBprojects & Theater Malpertuis and an elaborate further programme:

For the second time, Andrea Bozic and Julia Willms are leading a creative lab withing the framework of SPAZIO – A European network for dance creation 15.-22.02.2014 @ Zagreb Dance Centre, Zagreb, Croatia.

During the residencies the SPAZIO participants follow workshops, lectures, discussions, are coached in creative processes and are challenged to create new work based on these experiences. At the same time the project opens up this network of artists and art works to the local communities of the partners.

The residency in Zagreb will focus on the topic of “Dance and Interaction with New Technologies” and will also include a creative lab led by BADco.

A World

A World is out: a manifesto by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms / Tilt. A World is neither a utopia nor a dystopia. A World is an invitation to re-think the world by undoing. A World is a proposal for a practice. The manifesto is in the form of an artwork that changes format depending on the context it is planted in. The manifesto is an artwork and the artwork is a generator. The first showing of A World in the form of an audio recording for an empty gallery space with a view to the outside and a book.
