CONTENTS: CFP: WDAA DANCE EVENT in Guatemala DANCE: Weaving life with movement (August 11 - 14, 2011) 2 CONVOCATORIA: Un evento dancístico de la WDAA en Guatemala DANZA: Tejiendo vida con movimiento (11 - 14 de agosto, 2011) 6 Dance Critics Association - Conference Announcement 10 Dance Critics Association - Catalog of Activist Dance 10 CFP: ARTE AO VIVO, RIO AO VIVO, Live Arts Festival, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (July 1 - 3, 2011) 11 International Dance Day Message (April 29, 2011) 13 DANCE: Weaving life with movement World Dance Alliance/Americas Dance Event August 11– August 14, 2011 Guatemala Hosted by in affiliation with World Dance Alliance-Americas Centro de Danza e Investigación del Movimiento, Universidad Rafael Landívar, Guatemala, Central America. The Event will take place in two locations. It will begin at Centro de Formación de la Cooperación Española in La Antigua Guatemala and it will proceed to the main campus of Universidad Rafael Landívar in Guatemala City. This activity will coincide with the XIV Festival del Centro Histórico (Historical Center Festival) and the presentation of Traditional Dances in the province of Sololá. CALL FOR PROPOSALS From August 11 – 14, 2011, the World Dance Alliance/Americas (WDA) in affiliation with the Centro de Danza e Investigación del Movimiento of Universidad Rafael Landívar in Guatemala will host a World Dance Alliance/Americas Dance Event with the theme DANCE: Weaving life with movement. During the event the Executive Board Meeting WDA/Americas will be held as well. The theme DANCE: Weaving life with movement encourages a broad participation and exchange between dance professionals and other related professionals who work in building human, harmonic and creative societies through movement and dance. The theme also seeks to stimulate reflection around dance as a personal and communal experience that carries within itself the joy of discovering life through movement. To this end, the General Dance Event invites proposals for scholarly papers, panels, master classes, forum and performances that address issues related to the general theme divided as follow: 1. Community Dance: This theme includes research and/or field experience with dance in community and its benefits to diverse groups and societies. From this perspective, this section also includes research and experiences with traditional dances. 2. Teaching the teachers: a) This theme includes research and/or practical experience related to content and practice in teaching dancers and teacher training programs for those who teach dance students and dancers, from beginners to professional level. 2 b) It also includes research and/or practical experience with dance in the K – 12 Curriculum at school settings. In addition, research and/or practical experience related to dance in education with different populations will be considered. 3. The status of the artist This theme asks participants to look at policy, legislation, organizations, networking, experiences in struggle and success, improvements in the conditions of the artists and the development of the arts in different countries of North, Central and South America. While the Event certainly welcomes proposals which address issues of the theme DANCE: Weaving life with movement, paper, panel, class, forum and performance proposals need not be limited to or by the Event’s theme, which should be considered as a catalyst for discussion rather than a restraint. Deadline for all proposals The deadline for all proposals is May 25, 2011 but submissions will be reviewed on receipt. If slots are filled before May 25, the submission process will close. The Program’s Committee will send a letter of acceptance and additional program information no later than June 3, 2011.

Dancers, choreographers, teachers, school and company directors, critics, historians, ethnologists, notators, archivists, therapists, managers and others working in dance related fields, have all come together to create a new organization that will speak for dance in its many aspects and voice its concerns. A special feature of WDA is its networks of people with similar interests for the purpose of creating a better future for dance and dancers. WDA currently includes five networks: Creation and Presentation; Education and Training; Management and Promotion; Research and Documentation; and Status and Welfare. * All are encouraged to assist in the distribution of this call for proposals by sharing it with colleagues and other potentially interested parties. * 12 artwork: LUCA DI PAOLO 2011 International International Theatre Institute World Organization for the Performing Arts PAC www.proietti-artcreations.com www.wda-europe.net graphic: PAOLA PROIETTI special thanks to Dance Day International Dance Day Message 2011 APRIL 27 2011 MAISON DE L’UNESCO Paris message by ANNE TERESA DE KEERSMAEKER Biography ANNE TERESA DE KEERSMAEKER photo by: TINA RUISINGER APRIL 29, 2011 artwork: LUCA DI PAOLO After studying at the MUDRA dance school and the Tisch School of the Arts in New York, in 1980 Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker created Asch, her first choreographic work. 1982 saw the premiere of Fase, four movements to the music of Steve Reich, one of the most influential pieces of choreography of the era. In 1983 De Keersmaeker set up her Rosas company at the same time as creating the work Rosas danst Rosas. The focus of her work is the relationship between dance and music. She has used the music of composers from several periods. While Rosas was resident at La Monnaie (1992-2007), De Keersmaeker directed a number of operas. The relationship between dance and words is another thread running through her work. Her recent productions have been characterised by cooperation with artists. In 1995 she established the P.A.R.T.S. dance school in association with La Monnaie. Après des études à l’école MUDRA et à la New York Tisch School of the Arts, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker crée sa première chorégraphie, Asch, en 1980. En 1982 a lieu la première de Fase, four movements to the music of Steve Reich, une des chorégraphies les plus influentes de son temps. En 1983, elle fonde, parallèlement à la création de Rosas danst Rosas, sa propre compagnie, Rosas. Les relations entre la musique et la danse sont au coeur de son travail artistique, la portant à s’intéresser à des compositeurs d’époques diverses. Pendant la période de résidence de Rosas à la Monnaie (1992-2007), la chorégraphe a mis en scène plusieurs opéras. Le rapport entre la danse et le texte est une constante de son oeuvre. Ses productions récentes se caractérisent par des collaborations avec des artistes plasticiens. En 1995, elle a fondé avec la Monnaie l’école de danse P.A.R.T.S. special thanks to International Theatre Institute World Organization for the Performing Arts www.wda-europe.net PAC www.proietti-artcreations.com graphic: PAOLA PROIETTI 2011 International dance day International Dance Day Nel 1980 dopo i suoi studi presso MUDRA e Tisch School of the Arts di NY, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker crea la sua prima coreografia Asch. Nel 1982 sarà la volta di Fase, quattro movimenti sulle musiche di Steve Reich, una delle sue coreografie più significative. Nel 1983 fonda la Compagnia Rosa and creates Rosa danst Rosas. Il punto centrale dei suoi lavori è la relazione tra musica e danza, prediligendo musiche di ogni epoca. Durante una residenza a La Monnaie (1992-07) dirige una serie di opere. La relazione tra la parola e il movimento è una parte della tessitura dei suoi lavori. Le sue ultime creazioni sono caratterizzate da una serie di collaborazioni con altri artisti. Nel 1995 è fondatrice di P.A.R.T.S. una scuola di danza in collaborazione con La Monnaie. APRIL 29, 2011 2011 International dance day International Dance Day Message by ANNE TERESA DE KEERSMAEKER I think dance celebrates what makes us human. When we dance we use, in a very natural way, the mechanics of our body and all our senses to express joy, sadness, the things we care about. People have always danced to celebrate the crucial moments of life and our bodies carry the memory of all the possible human experiences. We can dance alone and we can dance together. We can share what makes us the same, what makes us different from each other. For me dancing is a way of thinking. Through dance we can embody the most abstract ideas and thus reveal what we cannot see, what we cannot name. Dance is a link between people, connecting heaven and earth. We carry the world in our bodies. I think that ultimately each dance is part of a larger whole, a dance that has no beginning, and no end. Je pense que la danse est la célébration de ce qui nous rend humain. artwork: LUCA DI PAOLO Lorsque nous dansons, nous utilisons, de façon très naturelle, les mécanismes de notre corps et tous nos sens pour exprimer la joie, la tristesse, tout ce qui nous tient à cœur. Les gens ont toujours dansé pour fêter les moments cruciaux de leurs vies et nos corps portent le poids des souvenirs de toutes les expériences humaines possibles. Nous pouvons danser seuls et nous pouvons danser ensemble. Nous pouvons partager ce qui nous rend semblables, ce qui nous rend différents de l’autre. Pour moi, danser est une façon de penser. A travers la danse nous pouvons incarner les idées les plus abstraites et ainsi révéler ce que nous ne pouvons voir, ce que nous ne pouvons nommer. La danse est un lien entre les gens, un pont entre ciel et terre. Nous portons le monde dans notre corps. En fin de compte, je pense que chaque instant de danse fait partie d’un ensemble plus vaste, d’une danse qui n’aurait ni début, ni fin. Traduction: Zoé Simard Quando danziamo usiamo in un modo naturale le meccaniche del corpo e tutti i nostri sensi, per esprimere gioia, tristezza e altre cose care a noi. Le persone da sempre danzano per celebrare alcuni momenti cruciali della vita, ed è attraverso il corpo che si conserva la memoria di ogni esperienza umana vissuta pienamente. Si può danzare da soli o con altre persone. Possiamo condividere quello che ci rende uguali, o quello che ci rende differenti l’uno dall’altro. Per me la danza è un mezzo per poter pensare. Attraverso la danza possiamo incarnare idee astratte, idee che non possiedono alcuna norma prestabilita, e rivelare quello che nessuno può vedere e che non ha un nome. La danza è un legame tra le persone, unisce il paradiso con la terra. Noi portiamo il mondo dentro il nostro corpo. Io credo profondamente che ogni danza fa parte di un insieme più grande, una danza che non ha un inizio, e non ha una fine. special thanks to International Theatre Institute World Organization for the Performing Arts www.wda-europe.net PAC www.proietti-artcreations.com graphic: PAOLA PROIETTI Io credo che la danza celebra quello che ci rende umani.

APRIL 29, 2011 2011 International dance day International Dance Day Backgrou nd In 1982 the International Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI/UNESCO) founded International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29th of April. The date commemorates the birthday of Jean-Georges Noverre, who was born in 1727 and was a great reformer of dance. Every year a message from a well-known dance personality is circulated throughout the world. The intention of International Dance Day and the Message is to bring all dance together on this day, to celebrate this art form and revel in its universality, to cross all political, cultural and ethnic barriers and bring people together in peace and friendship with a common language - Dance. In 1995, in an effort to unite dance, the International Dance Committee entered into a collaborative effort for the celebration of International Dance Day with World Dance Alliance as their only official partner. WDA Europe in collaboration with PAC Proietti Art Creations, since in 2007, are sponsors and creators of the message. MESSAGE DE LA JOURNÉE INTERNATIONALE DE LA DANSE Historique Nel 1982, il “Comitato Internazionale della Danza” dell’ “Istituto Internazionale del Teatro” (ITI/ UNESCO), ha istituito la “Giornata Internazionale della Danza” da celebrare il 29 Aprile di ogni anno. La data commemora Jean-Georges Noverre grande riformatore della danza, nato il 29 aprile 1727. Ogni anno, il 29 Aprile, un “Messaggio al mondo della Danza” scritto da una personalità della danza di fama mondiale, viene diffuso in tutto il mondo. Gli obiettivi della “Giornata Internazionale della Danza” e del Messaggio sono di riunire, in quel giorno, tutto il mondo della danza, per rendere omaggio a questa forma d’arte, celebrare la sua universalità che attraversa tutte le barriere politiche, culturali ed etniche, e riunisce l’umanità intera in amicizia e pace intorno ad un comune linguaggio - la Danza. Per la celebrazione della “Giornata Internazionale della Danza”, dal 1995 il Comitato Internazionale della Danza/UNESCO sceglie come unico partner ufficiale World Dance Alliance, per promuovere l’unità dell’arte coreutica nel mondo. Dal 2007 WDA Europe in collaborazione con lo studio grafico PAC Proietti Art Creations sono sponsors e realizzatori del messaggio stesso. special thanks to International Theatre Institute World Organization for the Performing Arts www.wda-europe.net PAC www.proietti-artcreations.com graphic: PAOLA PROIETTI GIORNATA INTERNAZIONALE DELLA DANZA Cenni storici artwork: LUCA DI PAOLO La Journée Internationale de Danse a été instaurée en 1982 à l´initiative du Comité de Danse International de l´Institut International du Théâtre (IIT/UNESCO).
