Abstract

What makes someone creative? How does someone face the empty page, the empty stage and making something where nothing existed before? Not just a dilemma for the artist, it is something everyone faces everyday. What will I cook that isn't boring? How can I make that memo persuasive? What sales pitch will increase the order, get me the job, lock in that bonus? These too, are creative acts, and they all share a common need: proper preparation. For Twyla Tharp, creativity is no mystery; it's the product of hard work and preparation, of knowing one's aims and one's subject, of learning from approaches taken in the past. It's a process undertaken every day. It's a habit. The Creative Habit is not merely a look inside the mind of a remarkable woman with remarkable skills, but a programmatic, inspiring, encouraging guide to help each of us achieve our fullest creative potential.

Abstract

Belgian-Moroccan Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and British-Bengali Akram Khan are two of today's most prolific choreographers. Given their respective backgrounds and the practices they pursue, their artistic universes are largely built around their identity in-between dance cultures. Dramaturg Guy Cools, who accompanied both, situates their work within the larger critical debate on the (post)modern and (post-)migrant identity. With a uniquely privileged insight into their creative practices, Cools details some of their iconic pieces. He also shows how they invent a new and much-needed social imagery ̶ which is both dialogical and embedded in a lived, migratory experience ̶ for present-day living in a globalized environment. As such, In-between Dance Cultures offers a complementary view on questions of cultural identity taking the contemporary dancer’s somatic awareness and knowledge of the body as its starting point.

Abstract

Dans le monde de l'art, il y a un sens croissant de l'éthique. Cela concerne les problèmes sociaux, politiques et économiques, ainsi que la manière dont les gens réfléchissent de manière critique à leurs propres mécanismes de production et de distribution. L'éthique de l'art décrit comment l'imagination artistique peut contribuer à une plus grande concentration sur l'environnement et le corps. La première partie, Écosophie, concerne la pratique de l'éco-art. La deuxième partie, Prendre soin du corps, se concentre davantage sur la danse / performance et le regain d'intérêt pour «le corps», la politique corporelle et la coopération. Les voix individuelles des artistes ainsi que des perspectives plus théoriques sont discutées, ensemble elles révèlent le caractère spécifique des pratiques artistiques motivées par l'éthique. Guy Cools est un dramaturge et a travaillé comme critique de danse, conservateur et décideur politique pour la danse et se consacre maintenant à la recherche et à la production dramaturgique. Il publie régulièrement à l'international et a développé une série d'ateliers pour accompagner le processus de création des artistes et chorégraphes.

Abstract

"This collection surveys the choreographic turn in the artistic imagination from the 1950s onwards, and in doing so outlines the philosophies of movement instrumental to the development of experimental dance. By introducing and discussing the concepts of embodiment and corporeality, choreopolitics, and the notion of dance in an expanded field, Dance establishes the aesthetics and politics of dance as a major impetus in contemporary culture. It offers testimonies and writings by influential visual artists whose work has taken inspiration from dance and choreography."--Publlisher
