Releasing the Archive - Installation: Displaced/Displayed: Re-enacting dances of migration

The practice-led project <i>‘Releasing the Archive’</i>, undertaken in collaboration with dance-scholar Carol Brown (NZ/AUS),<b> </b>aims to re-articulate marginalised modernist exile-dance practices and histories, with reference to the work of Austrian Jewish choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) who pioneered Modern Dance in New Zealand and Australia after 1939. It embraces trends towards somatic-informed dance practices, performance-as-archive, and the revisioning of modernist dance legacies.<br><br><b>This item contains documentation of the screen based installation 'Displaced/Displayed: re-enacting dances of migration' which forms part of the output for this collection.<br><br></b>The installation was premiered as an 8 meter high installation over 30 screens on the Media Wall of Bath Spa University on the 15th of March 2017.<br><br>This work is part of the exhibition Alles Tanzt – Kosmos Wener Tanzmoderne, Theatermuseum Wien (2019/2020, Vienna.<br><br>This work has been presented at 'The Artist as Researcher' symposium at University of Bedfordshire on 6-7 June 2018; the symposium 'Beyond Forgetting 1938-2018' at Coburg University, Germany, 27-28 July 2018, and at the 'Jews and Jewishness in the Dance World Conference' at the State University of Arizona, 13-15 October 2018.<div><br>Artistic direction & research: Thomas Kampe<br>Editorial direction Manuela Jara<br>Choreographic research and direction: Carol Brown<br>Sound artist Russell Scoones<br>Video Artist: Meek Zuiderwyk<br>Video Assistant: Freddie Errazo<br>Dancers of The New Zealand Dance Company: Carl Tolentino, Lucy Linch, Chris Ofanoa , Katie Rudd.<br><br><b>Photographs courtesy of Thomas Kampe (dancers Carl Tolentino, Lucy Lynch, Chris Ofanoa and Katie Rudd)</b><br><br><b>Used with permission.</b><br><br><b>The work is under copyright and may not be used without permission.
