Move: Choreographing You

Hayward Gallery, London

Curator Stephanie Rosenthal

Move: Choreographing You invites you to become a participant – or even a dancer – in installations and sculptures by internationally renowned visual artists and choreographers. The exhibition explores the historical and current relationship between visual arts and dance by presenting seminal works and new commissions by leading artists from the last 50 years.

Performances are woven into an exhibition of sculptural works, set pieces and installations, which can be activated by the public and by a group of resident performers in the gallery. Explore actions in a new way: pick up a hula hoop on the outdoor sculpture terrace, watch impromptu performances and go for a spin in the digital archive.

Featured artists include Tania Bruguera, Rosemary Butcher, William Forsythe, Dan Graham, Isaac Julien, Mike Kelley, Xavier le Roy & Mårten Spångberg, Wayne McGregor, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, La Ribot and Franz West.

As part of Move, some of the world’s most famous choreographers and dancers appear in one-off performances during October and November at Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room. Three days of discussions, encounters, performances, dance shows, workshops and participatory events also take place in November, featuring world renowned artists and choreographers and members of the public.

Performances in the gallery:

[ 15 October - 17 October ]
Trisha Brown's Floor of the Forest
Celebrating Trisha Brown

One of Trisha Brown's most iconic early works, Floor of the Forest (1970) comes to the UK for the first time.

Dancers from Candoco Dance Company and Trinity Laban students animate the installation to coincide with Trisha Brown Dance Company's Repertory Evening. In Floor of the Forest, performers dress and undress their way through a free-standing sculpture threaded with clothing. A normally vertical activity is performed horizontally and reshaped by the pull of gravity. The performance forms part of Move: Choreographing You at the Hayward Gallery.

Part of Celebrating Trisha Brown, Dance Umbrella 2010

Performance times:
Friday 15 October 5.30pm, 7.15pm & 9.30 pm
Saturday 16 October 10am, 12.30pm, 3pm, 4.30pm & 7pm
Sunday 17 October 1pm & 9.30pm
Admission Free

Dance Umbrella celebrates this iconic artist in an enticing evening of work spanning four decades. With her loose-limbed, swinging style of movement, Trisha Brown creates fluid, silken works which both delight and challenge audiences. First seen in 1983, Brown's brilliant and highly acclaimed Glacial Decoy (1979) is set against Robert Rauschenberg's iconic projections of classic Americana. A work of visual impact and tension, You can see us (1995) is an intriguing duet developed from Brown's acclaimed solo, If you couldn't see me (1994). Opal Loop / Cloud Installation #72503 (1980) is a recently revived classic for a quartet enshrouded in fog. Brown's latest work, L'Amour au théâtre (2009), is accompanied by sections of Rameau's opera Hippolyte et Aricie. Set against a backdrop of Brown's own artwork, this delightful piece embodies her signature movement alongside elegant couplings and constantly shifting aerial architecture.

The immaculate beauty of Trisha Brown's dances is one of the artistic wonders of our time. (Washington Post)

Trisha Brown Films [ Saturday 16 October 2010 - 11:00 ]
Film Programme

Enhance your experience of Trisha Brown's work with this unique opportunity to view a range of the choreographer's work on films from the last 40 years.

Fascinating footage, some of which features the original casts, offers audiences another viewpoint illuminating the depth and history of this seminal choreographer's work. Shot Backstage filmed by Brown from the theatre wings, gives an unusual glimpse of her Company's performance of For MG: The Movie. Archive footage of Early Works sees the early casts of many renowned artists - Douglas Dunn, Steve Paxton and Sarah Rudner. Brown herself dances in some of her iconic works including Watermotor and Jonathan Demme's film of Accumulation With Talking Plus Watermotor. Burt Barr's Aeros on Brown's work, Astral Convertible completes the programme.

Drift
Sunday 17 October: 12.30pm, 2.30pm & 5pm
Monday 18 & Tuesday 19 October: 12.30pm & 2.30pm

During Celebrating Trisha Brown, dancers from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance will recreate Trisha Brown’s Drift along the Thames between Southbank Centre and Tate Modern. In Drift (1974) performers advance at a medium pace while moving a fraction of an inch to the right with each step, causing the image to drift slowly right and then left. Passers-by can stop to watch the piece or accompany the performers along their journey.

Thomas Lehmen [ 09 November 2010 - 20:00 ]
Schrottplatz
Is the world really how you see it? With Thomas Lehmen's new piece, a solo entitled Schrottplatz ('scrapyard' in English), a seemingly absurd set-up questions what we think we know. Lehmen performs using various objects which he uses to share his understanding of the world (or lack of). This performance playfully questions our perceptions of the world and also of the theatre.

Encounter
In this talk in two parts, Mårten Spångberg elaborates on his collaboration with Xavier Le Roy for Move Choreographing You. Through meticulous description he will cross out the work in favour of blank production without autonomy. Spångberg's research in choreography in relation to Deleuze and Guattari functions as a background to a series of conceptual excursions within the understanding of choreography as extended practice.

Xavier Le Roy [ 28 November 2010 - 20:00 ]
Low Pieces
Inquisitive French choreographer Xavier Le Roy eludes the usual categories with his iconoclastic body of work which draws on his background as a scientist. His new piece explores the boundaries of the relationship between audience and performer, using a cast that comprises of some of the most creative practitioners in the current dance scene.

Générique [ 28 November 2010 - 12:15 ]
Performance
Générique is a game that uses the format of the post-show artist talk as a setting. The sole rule is that everybody discusses as if a performance had just taken place - as if the performers had performed it and as if the audience had seen it. Both the imaginary as well as the actual performance emerge through discussion.
