SUMMARY:What is Dance? Beata Stankevič in conversation with Ginevra Panzetti & Enrico Ticconi
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the evolving definition of dance\, challenging conventional ideas in choreography and examining how the concept of dance shifts across cultures and eras. Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi\, who perform their piece Harleking also as part of the Frontiers dance programme\, have been working together since 2008 with a style that interlaces dance\, performance and visual art. Beata Stankevič\, a cultural manager with a particular focus on contemporary dance\, is the first independent locally contemporary dance programmer to be based locally; in 2020\, she co-founded the HIBA Art Project initiative to further develop the dance scene in the UAE\, and since 2023 she has been managing cultural programmes at the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region.

SUMMARY:Máté Mészáros: Performative Walk – Mechanics of Distance
DESCRIPTION:During the pandemic\, Máté Mészáros came up with an alternative form of his piece Mechanics of Distance that could still be shared and experienced while spaces were closed and gatherings prohibited. He developed a participative walk to enact nine stages of the choreography; participants can follow a route of printed pictograms\, on their own or together\, and can piece together the choreography of the performance. The result is that participants become quasi-performers themselves\, gaining the physical sensation of the changing proximity of bodies in the space – in this case streets of Alserkal Avenue. \nThis piece is part of the Frontiers dance programme.

SUMMARY:Samaa Wakim & Samar Haddad King: Losing It
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in a war zone means living and breathing politics. The Palestinian choreographer and performer Samaa Wakim asks herself how these experiences impact her identity in this solo performance which explores how the trauma of previous generations manifests in her own body through movement and sound. The piece dives into her memories of growing up under occupation\, exploring the various realities she lives in and the fantasies she’s created in order to survive. As fear overtakes her\, her world begins to disintegrate: the floor becomes unstable\, and the sounds begin to warp into a world where reality and fantasy blur … \nCreated in conversation with a live score by Samar Haddad King\, the soundscape features field recordings taken throughout Palestine since 2010. Accompanied by Wakim’s vocals\, the sounds of fear and safety come together to the point where past and present cloud the future. \nThis piece is part of the Frontiers dance programme. Samaa Wakim and Samar Haddad King discuss their work in a conversation on Interdisciplinarity in Dance at 4.30pm on 15 December.

SUMMARY:Máté Mészáros: Mechanics of Distance
DESCRIPTION:This piece for three different trained dancers – they come from backgrounds in classical ballet\, folk dance and contemporary dance – has been performed several times since its 2019 premiere\, but it is always different since it is always adapted to the specific the space provided. Mechanics of Distance is about positioning static and moving bodies\, the dancers all interfering with one another’ s personal space\, cramming matching and mismatched systems into them and examining the distance between the bodies; the choreography aims to ask how far the limits of dance can be extended\, what potential there is in an open space waiting to be explored. \nThis piece is part of the Frontiers dance programme. There’s a performative version of the choreography\, with participants following the moves and experimenting with the space taken by bodies\, on 15 December at 3pm.
