A step into open space, leaving tracks in life.
Some usefull links for the beginning, just have a look:
My ideas for the DANCE workshops in Sept. and Oct are to work on a dance media live installation project called MAPS OF MIGRATION. It is based on thoughts on migration movements of bodies in open spaces, creating networks of communication for survival.
Like migrants crossing the Sahara to reach paradise in Europe, the dancers will be asked to track their own itinerary of their biographies to reach their aim Dresden. These personal movement patterns of each one will be overlayed and used as movement pattern on stage for individual and group movement sequences. Videoimages of the dancers will be included in the performance, kind of interviews about their motivations, determination and frustration to reach their goal, possible short clips of dance and documentary material of other movements of migration.
'Shifting networks of communication' will be the subtext of this project.
We will use an interactive video software called Korsakov which I would ask the students to download and study befor the workshop begins.

Please start already to draw your own MAP OF LIFE, starting from the place where you are born including tall the places where you have lived (longer than for a holiday) till now in Dresden. Study as well google maps and how to create personal maps including foto and video. Put emphasis on the emotional impact of each part of the journey, why you left, the price you payed, what you hoped for, what you got when you arrived where you wanted to be etc.
This is an open project and I do not know where we will end up exactly. That's what I like.
My idea is a final live performance at the end of the DANCE programm, including dance and live images - mixed by the audience to create a non predictable improvisation structure.

Human migration denotes any movement by humans from one locality to another, sometimes over long distances or in large groups. Humans are known to have migrated extensively throughout history and prehistory.

so here we have some noted ideas, written while we were all brainstorming, the text is broken, it is just collective thoughts evolving and feeding off of each other (some lines make sense....some dont....)
Thought of the day.........
It helps to know where you are going to.....
More exciting/stressssssful when you dont??
Ideas :
skin.....traces on the body
migration in its simplest form
point of the migration and the goal
what if you have no aim....no goal no one to leave behind
our design of our paths how they connect together
all the maps together move together ....choreographic structure about people meeting in different places. Collisions
idea of the map in the space ......
more detailed traces in the body
design in group video
not so clear
record our movements
film us
how you are feeling its a process
individual maps that come together to form a bigger map.
Baby steps
abstraction
musical score
mapping bar of music meeting other people every year
can be in different places at the life different feeling
aix en Provence all together
who you remember development separate and moving at the same time
we can be in the same place but in different feelings in our life
lots of connections
quite abstract
story telling
switching character you can go deeper and that way you can relate to each other can be nice and confusing , intuition, faith, things happening for a reason.
randomness new connections audience too linear
make some changes
different dates.
More interest that we are the maps.
Brainstorming:
Memory...all about the different memories , seeing visually remembering ..the mood relationship not just a single moment more complex..photo triggers something in the brain.
Remembering the smell....shawbrook smell of the dorms ... smell in you home cooking
where are you what are you here...
music song that will take them back to a memory song is connected to a space somewhere
pictures ...objects...photos in particular.
Puppet as a child living with this puppet for years sharing emotions storing emotions sharing emotions stories
using external stories change them, voices and sound tracks another stories universal soundtrack to the dance.
Stories are all different but collective feeling.
Everyone map, over lay, palucca all lines end up here image could be starting point for structure movement structure. Lines may be interrupted.
Google maps ..photoshop different layers , painting drawing different lines different colours erase map with all the different lines left , how others feed in and come together. Pool of maps
send individual maps to Quan. World map . Details of the world map how can we zoom global maps of lines journeys across the world. Lastly focusing on Europe . Everyone comes to Europe before it goes to Dresden. Solution how to do this.
Idea of radius , gradually getting to palucca.
Idea of leaving an imprint on the place never knowing where we will end up, 3 counties , 60mins, filming before hand???place people coming and going , over 10 years peoples crossing encounters, some of you who have been already before. More metaphorical
gabor memories human memories, found and written , interesting, individuality is no different than ....pause.....its about identity , nothing else our stories leading own life another way you can find the lief, no different than our collection of memories our individuality is as a result of our specific memories , archive life as a library perceiving perceptions
software and the brain what do you do if you with the information in life in the brain.....lives in the body with some order and organisation and sometimes...not...
orientation, clear exits , getting lost in space, precise inner picture
taking the wrong exits?? totally confused
moments of panic .....moments of understanding ....even as simple as being in the supermarket
storing memory storing emotions
guy without aim
Alpha....migration leaving something when he left different strange sensation left something of himself Dresden as a focal point after d.a.n.c.e programme after Dresden still in contact all over the world.
Interesting to hear where they are gone later when the process is finished.
Different years ...different emotions point of common emotions as a child, adolescence. Discussion about emotions
A table , registration, organisation...a working tool of the life and events buy a world map Europe map or both painting on the map put journeys putting as it on a wall ( if we get the cheese...money) important to organise practically how can we combine it how does it make sense.... time layer.. space layer....
