SPRINGBOARD II: A Personal Place to Be

▶ Friday April 16 Mixed Doubles, Set and Match

Maria Mavridou and Erik Van de Vijdeven perform Couples Therapy

The result of a long-term collaboration between brilliant improvisers produces a work of spontaneously generated complications, tensions and co-mingling which is the inevitable territory of couples’ therapy. This spoken movement piece challenges performers and audiences alike to explore the dynamics of relationship in an engaging and always surprising manner.

Jonathan Nagel and Anna Heuer-Hansen performs Eventually

The duo of double bassist and composer Jonathan Nagel and dancer Anna Heuer-Hansen performing within a light creation developed by Ellen Knops is further enhanced by the spatial installation of speakers in the room. The musical composition is built from a repetition of simple motives and chords, spanning the arc from intimate chamber music sounds to giant amplified sonic landscapes. “eventually” deals with the perception of time: The term ‘eventually’ implies time invested toward an eventual goal. When you arrive ‘eventually’, it may not have been easy getting there, but the process has been all important. At the same time, ‘eventually’ contains the word ‘event’, which both underlines the aspect of the live experience as well as the extraordinary fact that the dancer has reached the second trimester of pregnancy which brings a powerful poignancy to this project, incorporating one of life’s more remarkable and recurrent springboards…

Springboard Salon Pi: The Circumference of the Circle

Friday April 23 Salon Pi, 18:00 – 02:00 Then Again, Klub Kring and Some Rites of Spring:

FAR (The Fabulists’ Ardent Renditions) performs Then Again: Not So Much A Program, More a Way of Life, Zalan Szacas performs Kring, Contraband and Company performs Hidden Rites of Spring (impromptu performances by The Walkback, The Relapse and Ambulant). This eight hour event presents a live and online salon evening in which three aspects meet head on: short sketches presented in connection with the upcoming online series Then Again, the misty environment of  Zalan Hzacas’s work Kring and the free play of spontaneous performances within this environment provided by Contraband in Company which is founded on the idea of simultaneous but contrary activities in a given environment. Performers include Natalya Golofastova, Julia Kiryanova, Zalan Hzacas, Lee Ellickson, Ira Preston, Pharrel Redman, Vera Rustin, Carl Gadge, Reynolds Parse, and Arnold Varney.

Saturday April 24 This Springing to Life, 19:30

Robbert Van Hulzen performs Lockdown Litanies

Robbert Van Hulzen offers a collection of tunes using only sounds contributed by (people like) you during the first lock down, and sampled and processed and combined and mangled and arranged by RVH along with beats with pots and pans, birds in their gardens, singing voices, instruments, garage doors, tripping dogs, and so much more. 

The Supernumeraries Contemplating (The Weather) perform Rhythmanalysis 0:1

Iza Pacewicz Wysocka considers life’s ultimate springboard: her own pregnancy at the end of the second trimester. She is joined by Manuela Lucia Tessi and Thalia Laric to reflect on and embody the shifting rhythms of everyday life and the sudden changing cycles that come with transformations. This work initiates a series that is informed by the work of proto Situationist Henri Lefevebre, as is the following work on the program.

The Ensemble Todo Modo performs Mode d’Emploi Exemplar: Deconstructions  of Everyday Life

Dirk Bruinsma, Robbert Van Hulzen, Christian Smith and Alan Purves draw familiar domestic elements, old habits and common household pieces of their lives to present a concert that attempts to, as the title suggst, desconstruct commonalities of everyday life into a sonic derive that intends to surprise and reorient our complacency particualrly in this time of pandemic and lockdown when our domestic worlds have become prisons for many of us.

Zalan Szakacs performs Kring

Kring invites the audience into a subliminal intervention within the Kunstkapel environment.  As a tribute to the Kunstkapel’s role as a springboard for so many projects over the last decade, Kring enacts the space. Through intangible gestures such as ambient sounds, a circling light beam, and circular walking paths by the audience, the ritual continues beyond material realities. As such, the memory of the space lives on in and amidst our bodies. 

Sunday April 25, Points of Departure: What Was Once a Lift Off Might Now Be A Jump to Conclusion, 21:00

The Relapse performs Recurrence 3:1 with the collaboration of The Supernumeraries

Andreas Tegnander, Max Van der Wal and Lee Ellickson perform an unveiling of inscrutable phenomena drawn from the hidden recesses of the Lunstkapel space itself.  The work absorbs hidden archives of images and sounds that unlock concealed temporal spatial tricks of reality… The work advances both through implicate and explicate orders… on the one hand suggesting a Chinese puzzle box of spaces within spaces while laterally overlapping multiple timeframes…

The Shadow Seminary School perform Apopthegmata

This is the first part of the five-part project called The Edifice Built Thru Conducting Bodies which is an investigation into certain origins related to the Kunstkapel’s original life as a seminary rehearsal space in a Catholic school. This work is suggested by the sayings of the Desert Fathers which are considered formative to the foundation of the Catholic Church. This project charts the creation and spread of the Shadows and the Blood of the church which apparently spawned from a white desert space. The Archesonic technique of Mark Bain, with which he plays the building itself to powerful effect, is a crucial aspect of all Shadow Seminary School performances. The Ensemble includes Maria Mavridou, Manuela Lucia Tessi, Thalia Laric, Ferdinand Doumic, Jonathan Nagel, Simone Gosling, Tamira van Wijngaarden and Vladimir Grafov.

AudioVisualSpatial interdisciplinary performances in a 360 degree round immersive space live and online

The Warp presented its seasonal program of AudioVisualSpatial works in the Kunstkapel with Springboard. Springboard is defined as a beginning from which an enterprise is launched and this can remind us that The Warp perpetually begins again with every new assembly of projects while; suggesting not only the “jumping off point” of inspiration artists and performers are taking from the Kunstkapel location but also from the altered realities with which we live and the current Coronavirus restrictions. A series of programs combining several projects were presented live in the location and online following current requirements in the period from April 1 to April 25.

Springboard is divided into two sections:

April 1 to April 9: The Place In Itself: These are Springboard experiments with the Place: a series of projects originally initiated at the Kunstkapel previously are resuscitated to contemplate the space through a series of tests and experiments pointed toward future developments that include the recreation of the space as an augmented reality.

April 14-25: A Personal Place to Be: These are Springboard experiments with the Personal: commencing with the Final performance of the Springboard workshop of the Borderline Proxy, a series of projects are developed and presented that explore more personal creative relationships with the location with broader implications of creativity that continues beyond the breeding space. It is perhaps not even an irony that two of these projects are concentrated on actual pregnancy.

SPRINGBOARD Workshop: Doom Patrol (pilot issue): Leap in the Void–The Pencil Sketch Dummy

March 10 – April 14 Springboard Workshop

The Borderline Proxy performs Doom Patrol (pilot issue): Leap in the Void–The Pencil Sketch Dummy

The Borderline Proxy has undertaken a very ambitious project for the Spring production workshop which was slated for a month-long period starting in mid-March. Doom Patrol is an exploration of performers, personal trauma, social media, parallel reality, private fantasy and alter egos. The concept is for a long-term project which will produce a series of numbered issues in the manner of a comic book (the title is drawn from a crucial comic book title that introduced the traumatic anti-hero into the genre of superhero adventures as well as the concept of personal quirks that bring both estrangement and empowerment). For the pilot issue the group has decided to consider their first performance as a Pencil Sketch Dummy: a rough esquisse for what they have in mind to develop in the years ahead. The Borderline Proxy includes Maria Mavridou, Stefania Petroula, Tashi Iwaoka, Thalia Laric, Manuela Lucia Tessi, Jonathan Nagel and Roman Zotter.

SPRINGBOARD I: The Place In Itself

 

▶ Thursday April 1 Fill In the Blanks

The Daedaleum Cursor with The Supernumeraries performs Semapherics (Live Transmissions): Distress Signals

A live collision of three simultaneous locations recently utilized by The Warp for performance events: the glass house in the Amtelpark, the Archive Terrain behind the old city archive building built around an expanding performance by the Supernumeraries (Maria Mavridou, Stefania Petroula, Manuela Lucia Tessi, Izabela Pacewicz-Wysocka). The Daedaleium Cursor resuscitates its original work of recreating the Kunstkapel as a human scale Zootrope in which the Distress Signals are adumbrated and transmitted.

Underwriter’s Laboratory performs White Out Terminus: Tests

The Underwriter’s Laboratory performs precisely what its original namesake has carried out for more than one hundred years: the testing of the potential of the Kunstkapel for sound and vision: its strengths and its weaknesses. These recording tests will play a crucial role in the upcoming augmented reality recreation of the actual space and sound of the Kunstkapel. Each experiment is set in the context of a white limbo and many of these tests will find their way into the upcoming online series Then Again: Not so Much a Program, More a Way of Life. Members of the Underwriter’s Laboratory include Christopher Wrener, Dara Navi, Bastien Calla, and Ithey Cornish.

A Meme Splice, Cultivator performs White Balances: Diffusions

The very white space of the Kunstkapel is invariably subjected to a succession of white balances in every visual recording made there. This performance is made up of the increase of whitening elements of light and whitening elements of sound and their gradual subtraction. In this process comes about an intense attention to gradations of sight and sound. With the participation of Gordon Isaacs and Morey Frobisher.

 

▶ Saturday April 3 Spring Torrents (Night Clock Limits)

The Daedaleum Cursor performs Torrential

A collection of layered history of Kunstkapel imagery is layered into a live transmission /torrent that rapidly compresses all projects into a night clock passage that cycles through its material at regular intervals based on programming algorithms. This performance will act online during night clock hours simultaneously with those below.

The Orientation Conservancy Project perform Acculturation Exam Diffusions

The Orientation Conservancy unites the efforts of many artists who have worked in the Kunstkapel over the years. Performances of the acculturation exams begun previously on the Archive Terrain during Some Vast Grey Area and in the kunstkapel as part of Spring Quandary in Spring 2020 as now reobserved from position three times removed as another kind of “third world”…..these acculturations (texts, drawings, performances somehow redolent of eastern culture emerging in new contexts) are now seen as recordings to be remixed and recombined into loops that reintegrate in the circular space of the kunstkapel. A custom online version is being perfected. Participants include Sindra Morrel , Rithy Ambon, Cora Akan Gal, and Shiri Ristelhuber,

The Chronic performs The Volatile Market of Secret Shares

The Chronic reverses its regular focus on broadcast information into a narrow cast mirror of secret sharing. The process of information becomes quarantined and secret, determined to share its realities with a consciously narrowing public body. This results in a collection of alternate audio visual reality checks occurring throughout the Amsterdam lockdown and night clock offered as alternative news network. These secret shares periodically break into the ongoing Torrent during the night clock hours. The group includes Brian McKenna, Robbie Musselwaite and Abbie Matthews.

 

▶ Friday April 9 Back to the Drawing Board

Tensegrity Co-Op performs Prospective Renovations

A series of audio-visual experiments to consider even more unlikely renovations to the Kunstkapel chamber in response to the coming plan to radically remake the eccentric Kunstkapel space to function in a more utilitarian fashion as a music conservatory space. Projections of these idiosyncratic plans crisscross through the space and will be further developed for inclusion within the augmented reality recreation of the Kunstkapel on other sites later in the year. Tensegrity Co-Op currently includes Ettiene Minoury, Pascal Wissolu, Hubert Foure, Jacqueline Basset and Darcy Garnier.

The Mutual performs A Third Timer Bounce Down

Inspired by the original concept of sound mixing by “bouncing down” tracks The Mutual initiates a work based on the Kunstkapel which bounces down a series of actions and sounds which gradually fills up the Kunstkapel space with a increasingly dense image of space and time occurring live in the space while simultaneously projected on the walls. Performed by Irene Fera Wood and Steina Phipps.                         

Blank Stereo Type performs Night Clock Surveillances: The Old Sourdough Bakery

A live camera multiple projection surveillance of the now vacated bakery space in the basement of the Kunstkapel building formerly occupied by Restaurant AS. As usual with Blank Stereo Type a curious narrative develops through the use of opticals involving objects and light tricks and foley sounds. A series of uncanny events seems to take place in what would seem to be an empty silent space. The ensemble includes Severin Vaughan, Jacqueline Basset and Darcy Garnier.

This January 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗽 and 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲𝟮𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 presented 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗱 an interdisciplinary collaboration as part of the annual winter festival of lights organized by 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲𝟮𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 in the Amstelpark.

Located in the 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝘂𝗶𝘀 in the middle of the Amstelpark, the performances and installation were a result of the collaboration of three artist and performers groups. As a new way to present and experience art during a lockdown, the installation and performance would be quarantined and locked behind the windows, while the public could safely roam free around the glass box in the open quiet space of the park. A light and string installation inside the Glazen Huis created a changing visual landscape of moving shapes, while the string construction was being played by musicians, generating a sound concert for the audience standing outside…

The artists inside the greenhouses were inspired by the transformation of life and plants during quarantine, the interaction between plants and light, and ancient Roman Purging and Plague rites.

Anticipating the one year anniversary of Covid restrictions, the artists concentrated Greenhouses as an annual site of quarantine in itself to protect the plants from what would otherwise be winter sacrifices. The Month of February is historically closely tied to the and it’s name is derived from the Ancient Roman purification ritual called 𝙁𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖, in which Rome was purified through prayers and by making offerings and sacrifices to the gods of the dead. 

The Greenhouse Quarantines program was divided into three February Purging periods in order to concentrate on different approaches.

NRC artikel over Unloomed #1

Eigenlijk krijg je bij het Glazen Huis een choreografie in drie delen te zien die ontstaat in het binnenste van het Glazen Huis. Laserlicht (groen, blauw, soms ook paars) wordt over 1.001 snaren gestuurd. Ogenschijnlijk volkomen willekeurig, altijd veranderend.  Soms gebeurt dat in droomachtige, subtiel pulserende sequenties – alsof de regen allang is opgehouden maar de bomen en de struiken nog na druppelen. Soms grijpt het licht om zich heen in bliksemachtige grondlijnen die diagonaal naar elkaar lopen, parallel geplaatst zijn of kruispunten vormen. Dan is het alsof je naar een versneld afgedraaide achtervolgingsscène in een labyrint van snelwegen kijkt. Soms ook lijkt het altijd maar bewegende licht op een driedimensionale verbeelding van een Proun-schilderij van de Russische constructivist El Lissitzky.
