Releasing the Archive - Installation: 'I Travel With You' - Interactive Mobile Phone Dance - Installation & Exhibition Documentation

<p>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></p><p><b>This item contains images from the 'I Travel With You' installation and the text provocation which accompanies the piece which is one component of the Research Output for this project.</b></p><p><b><br></b></p><div>'I Travel with you' (2016-2019), is a participatory micro- screen dance installation & score for mobile phone, tracing and constructing diasporic dance practice; </div><div>dancers in Kampala (Uganda), Sydney ( AUS), and Kuching (Malaysia) recorded and uploaded short choreographic responses on a mobile device which travelled across four continents.</div><div><br>Part of the project 'Good Bags, Bad Bags - in 225 days around the world', curated by German artist Reinhardt Wanzke and part of the exhibition ‘Sammlung als Erzählung’ Weltkulturen Museum Frankfurt a.M.
