Graduate of the "Beaux-Arts" of Lorient (France), Claire Raflegeau investigates the video, the photography and the eriture to question various modalities of self-expression through movements, as the
dance, the singing... Leaving a melody, an image or a text, she tends to crystallize her imagination by a choreography of the thoughts, passing by the surface of bodies to express the deepest ideas.

Lollybird ein Essay was supported by cultural department of Berlin Reinickendorf and realysed in cooperation with Kunsthaus Tacheles as well as K?nstlerhof Frohnau.
Lollybird has first been produced as a stage Performance for the Tacheles and later on we made the Film witch is based on the material we developed for the stage but as you will see mainly adjusted for open space.

Lollybird is a poetic view on the bird theme: the egg symbolizes the initial as well as the birth of an idea, the bird's flight is seen as a metaphor for freedom and illusion, the fall here gives substance and courage as well as clearance…. The film is made with the aim to give breath and inspiration, to bring a view of open space, calmness and nonaggression….

Now I understand that the blackness of the firmament offers a measure, in order to estimate its distance. My chamber is an intermediate floor of the cosmos; the walls should not be taken too seriously.

In 2001, Marlene Millar and Philip Szporer founded Mouvement Perpe'tuel and have since produced Moments in Motion, Raising the Bar: The Fresh Voices Project, Byron Chief Moon: Grey Horse Rider, as well as the experimental dance shorts The Hunt, a soft place to fall, Butte and The Greater the Weight. All are broadcast on the Bravo! arts channel and have been screened at international festivals.

Millar and Szporer first met in 1986, dancing in the work of New York choreographer Charles Dennis. Subsequently, a friendship developed and their professional talents merged once more ten years later, when they embarked on a first sketch of what was later to become the video series Moments in Motion/Au fil du mouvement. They shared a Fellowship for the Dance/Media Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, developing new ideas, and producing work in the United States. Their return to Canada saw the creation of Mouvement Perpe'tuel.

Both Millar and Szporer have been immersed in the arts, whether in performance, journalism, or filmmaking, and are deeply committed to promoting the arts and engaging new audiences through their blend of documentary and art filmmaking.

MARILA VELLOSO -- dancer and coreographer in Curitiba/Brazil, since 1984. Is a contemporary dance teacher at The Arts College of Parana. Is a Body-Mind Centering Practitioner. Has a master degree in Communication and is doing a Phd in Performing Arts, at the Federal University of Bahia.

OLIVE BIERINGA -- director of The Bodycartography project/ EUA. Dancer and coreographer. Body-Mind Centering Practitioner. Won many prizes related to her direction and edition of dance films and videos. SITE: www.bodycartography.org

To touch the world is a desire for understanding and being in contact with the circumstance of something (DELEUZE, 2006).

We have been watching, in this project, the circumstance of the body-environment relationship and how it relates to the dance within the body as a possibility to help to clarify the relational logic the body carries and uses, while dancing in three different territories: in a desert of salt, in Argentina; in a street of Salvador/Bahia/Brazil and in a street of Curitiba.

The project was supported by the “Klauss Vianna”Prize from FUNARTE (National Foundation of the Arts/ Brazil), and the 500 dvd copies were distributed in schools, libraries and universities in Brazil.

Was invited to be shown at SEEDS Festival/ Massachussets/Eua, in 2008.

She is a 'wanna be' dancer/choreographer/performer/graphic designer/filmmaker. In spring 2008 she traveled through 4 different airports and performed for her Airport Project (more info at http://airport.gostia.net/) mentored by Mark Haim.

Her videos have been shown in group shows in Seattle, Perugia, Cascia, Spoleto (Italy). Alice is the artistic director and one of the founders of DAKA together with Devin McDermott, Anh Nguyen and Katherine Riggs. This newly formed performance group has been travelling and performing in both the US and Italy.

The performance aspect of this performance was about creating a performance piece that in ten days will travel from airport to airport all around the world. It interacted with a characteristic shared by all airports―the power to alter one’s perception of space and time. I am interested in juxtaposing the airport―a place where space and time are warped or even suspended-with dance, an art form completely dependent on how we perceive the body moving in space and time.
This video has been show as part of Next Dance Cinema, organized in Seattle by Velocity Dance Center.

The entire project was supported and funded by : University of Washington, Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs, College of Arts and Sciences, the Dance Program, Cartah, DXARTS.

Wrinkles and Dreams is a story about a walkabout in memories told in a dance documentary form. The protagonist is an old man who lived and grew up in the neighbourhood of Agia Triada. While walking he recalls old times, as well as his childhood’s first love, who is now lost; however, through his nostalgic wandering this love takes life again.

This film is based on an original idea of Georgia Petrali. The project “Actions to promote the intervention area-Video” was implemented in the context of the European Program “Promotion publicity for the City of Heraklion Integrated Urban Development Plan-City Networks” and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and 20% by state participation. The program intervention area, with particular emphasis on the Agia Triada neighbourhood, has been promoted in a unique way thanks to the mixing and mingling of choreographed images.

The award-wining German video editor and video dance maker Sabine Klaus has set up her base in Scotland
seven years ago. Her video work investigates into the emotional and physical empathetic effects on the viewer
conveyed by the shown movements and editing techniques shown on screen. Klaus is content partner with the
networking website www.dance-tech.net and her work is broadcasted on the US dance only channel Tendu TV.

Company Chameleon:
Chameleon is the vision of co-directors Anthony Missen and Kevin Turner, continuing on collaborative
journey that began 15 years ago. They have worked together through youth dance theatre, formal
training, and with some of the leading national and international dance and dance theatre companies.
Their work seeks to reach to the heart of people, often tackling difficult issues. We are interested in
storytelling and the human condition.

Short Description:
The slightly abstract story is performed by Anthony Missen and Kevin Turner who portray two young soldiers
going to war in an unknown land. Suddenly they are confronted with the real terror of bombs and living in a
daily angst of getting shot. Those extreme emotional situations bring them closer together as friends. Until one of them realises the senselessness in the suffering while the other one seeks the moment of glory.
