FLUID GROUNDS (Benoît Lachambre, Sophie Corriveau) / 26, 27.09 2019 15.00-22.00
28.09 2019 14.00-22.00
Through meticulous taping of the floor of the Hall, the performers sketch a multicolored, theatrical cartography that unfolds slowly. Fluid Grounds comes to life with the presence and movement of the audience. The mapping constitutes a visible memory of the actions behind them and the people who have passed through them.
Fluid Grounds also invites the audience to participate in the taping practice for a two hour long pop up workshop. The workshop happens once a day, in the space Pelarsalen:
Thursday 18.00-20.00 (Elinor Tollerz Bratteby)
Friday 18.00-20.00 (Corinne Muistonen)
Saturday 16.00-18.00 (Daniela Romo Pozo)
Soup will be available for purchase and coffee will be served in Pelarsalen.

SEVEN EXTRAVAGANZAS (Frédéric Gies, Fiedel) / 10-11.10 2019 19.00-20.15
Seven Extravaganzas is a group version of Frédéric Gies’ solo Ribbon Dance, created at Weld in 2015, extended with a prologue and an epilogue. For it, Gies gather a group of accomplished dancers, who will raise high the flag of a voluptuous, lavish dance. The dance material of Ribbon dance will be the soil for seven solos that answer, overlap and expand on each other. Through the conversation between seven simultaneous solos a collective dance made of calls and responses will be brought into form, without becoming a policed chorus.
The original Ribbon Dance germinated from an exploration of the currents and forces that underlie Trisha Brown’s dance in Watermotor, and of their unexpected connections to other forms of dance, foreign to postmodern dance. Seven Extravaganzas will blur the boundaries between erudite and popular forms of dance and relate to dance history by doing away with its fetishization.

ABOUT QUARTO & ROPE SERIES
Since 2010 QUARTO is developing bodies of work that are emerging in a series of long-term interdisciplinary research. Each part in the ROPE SERIES deals with the thousand-meter long rope in three distinct ways.
The first part explored the rope’s flux and continuous movement. This research resulted in Beauty of Accident (stage performance), Durational Rope (installation performance) and ROPE#1 (video piece).
The second part focuses on the rope as a knot/mass/body. The stage performance KNOT BODY unfolded into ROPE#2 (video piece) and THISENTANGLEMENT (installation performance).
QUARTO is working with the third and final part; ropeSpace that explores the architectural relation between the bodies and rope. 2019-2020 the stage performance unfolds into, ropeSpace Installation, and also become a video piece ROPE#3 (video piece). Communal Rope is the final work in the series and is a group piece that emerges from the experiences in the workshops, where we share the rope practice, and that will result in a site-specific performance 2020 when the project completes 10 years and where all the works from the ROPE SERIES will come together.

Technosomatics session (Frédéric Gies) / 5.10 2019 15.00-18.00
Technosomatics is a movement practice developed by Frédéric Gies who shares it in various workshop formats open to anyone who has an appetite for dancing to techno. It is a practice that consists of a collective and individual exploration of the endocrine glands and chakras through club dancing to techno music as wells as the opposite: an exploration of club dancing while embodying the endocrine glands and the chackras. It is practiced mostly with closed eyes, and in a pitch-dark room. It approaches mainstream anatomy as a fiction, emphasizing the experienced body. It is also proposing another kind of collective and social experience, different from a somatic/dance class and from the dance floor. It offers a safe and genuine space for going under the social, being alone together and indulging in altered states of consciousness.
The practice connects to both the field of somatics (movement eduction practices) and to techno club/rave dance cultures. It originates in Frédéric Gies’ encounters with diverse somatic practices, and in his dance floor experiences. It acknowledges the healing potential of the act of dancing.
So far, Frédéric Gies shared the practice in different dance BA and MA programmes at university and in different dance and public contexts: Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Warsaw), Art stations – Stary Browar (Poznan), Ponderosa (Germany), Weld (Stockholm), HZT (Berlin), Tanzfabrik (Berlin), DOCH-UNIARTS (Stockholm), Sunday run_up (Stockholm), Danscentrum (Gothenburg), Skogen (Gothenburg), Folk (Gothenburg), KTH-R1 (Stockholm), Stretch Festival (Berlin), Body IQ (Berlin).
Ribbon dance practice (Frédéric Gies) / 5.10 2019 13.00-14.30
In this session, Frédéric Gies will share the basics of the movement practice at the origine of the dance material of ribbon dance. Mixing somatic work based on the circulation of the fluids in our bodies with self-taught rhythmic gymnastics, as well as a movement analysis of the solo Watermotor by Trisha Brown, the dance that is produced indulges voluptuously in ebbs and flows and sudden changes of direction. The gymnastic ribbons become an extension of our bodies.
Club (Yoann Durant, Aurore d'Audiffret) / 12.10 2019 21.00-late
Welcome to a night of music and dance, a night for music and dance. This night is a proposal to surrender to the beat, to step touch in the dark left corner or run in circles in the middle, to sweat for one, two or three hours, to close your eyes and open up spaces within, to support the meetings, the silences, to dance alone next to each other.
We invite you to groove and hang out together, so bring a friend and let’s enjoy a party with good dj sets for free.
The HALL becomes our playground, to meet differently.
DJs: Tyler Matthew Oyer, Edvin Endre, Marcel Engdahl, Yoann Durant
DiM_Dance into Many (Quarto, ccap) / 27.10 2019 14.00-15.00
DiM_Dance into Many invites selected groups of elderly, newly arrived immigrants and people with various dis/abilities to join the ccap artistic team in the dwelling of circumstances which provide for creative interaction. Through the encounter with a performance, participants are engaged in creative processes that mobilize and stimulate all senses. The work departs from the belief that art, not least dancing brings people together. And that every single person, regardless preconditions, can and should be provided the opportunity to manifest their voice in artistic terms and by that also contribute to the making of a common culture. The project targets people who by on account wouldn’t find their way to an art environment, or who may wish to, yet find no opportunity to approach it. The project is run in partnership with local special schools, homes for the elderly, youth centers and other socially engaged municipal and independent organizations and associations.
