SELAMAWIT BIRUK | PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m 27 years old and I come from  Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.
Photography is a story teller. It’s a book and also it’s a tool that allow you to tell a story that you have in one frame from a different point of view. It can be also a baggage that you bring on your back.
I like photografy because it’s a part of life and no one knows when it’s gonna end. For example if I change a planet and I get the chance to breathe being a photographer doesn’t ask you to break in the system as long as my camera is with me.
All my photos are my children. They are growing up, all of them has the same values for me.
I started as a professional:) on January 2018 and I did it because I want to talk without language before the silent kill me inside. I want to communicate humanity.

This includes reviewing of workshops and performances, photo documentation, creative writing, interviews and creative responses. The group’s collective interests in choreographic practice encompass, Dramaturgy, Dance Making and Dance Writing, as all members of the writing group are also freelance artists who wish to pursue a career in dance. Together they hope to capture the key threads and themes emerging through the B-Motion Festival. The group will engage with different strands of the 2018 programmes which will encompass; Choreographic Research, European Dancehouse Network, Performing Gender and the Migrating Bodies – Moving Bodies programme. Together, they hope to compile a collection of written and creative documents that offer an additional insight into this year’s Festival Programme and reflect on the impact and value of this international dance context.

LA STANZA DI CARLA

“Quel che il pubblico ti rimprovera, coltivalo, è il tuo io.”
Jean Cocteau, Il gallo e l’arlecchino (1918)

Logo rubrica «La stanza di Carla»La prima rubrica del nostro blog ha come protagonista il tanto temuto pubblico: magnanimo, estroso, a volte irascibile ma comunque indispensabile. Per questo abbiamo pensato di creare uno spazio aperto dedicato a chi avrà voglia di condividere con noi umori, impressioni, pareri sugli spettacoli in scena ma anche su esperienze legate alla danza che, nel bene e nel male, sono state (o sono) determinanti nella sua vita. C’è una “Signora Carla” in ognuno di noi: la nostra è stata l’ispiratrice di questa rubrica, per la sua spontaneità, sincerità, fermezza nel dire quello che pensa. Perché sì, si tratta proprio di questo: dire, parlare, scrivere, condividere… dare un’opinione.

Ci interessa sapere come la pensate e ci sono molti modi per contribuire. E’ molto semplice: si può scrivere direttamente all’indirizzo email redazione@abcdance.eu o commentare attraverso i nostri Social Network (Facebook e Twitter) utilizzando l’hashtag

#lastanzadicarla

 

 

 


MINI B.MOTION

La danza, un minimo di spiegazione, un minimo di aneddoti, e un massimo di sensazioni.”
Maurice Béjart

Inviati speciali rubricaSensazioni. Sono le sensazioni  le vere protagoniste di questa sezione che abbiamo deciso di dedicare ai nostri inviati speciali! Ma chi sono? Avremo alcune giovani danzatrici che parteciperanno a Mini BMotion, sezione di BMotion Danza dedicata a giovanissime danzatrici e danzatori di età compresa tra gli 8 e 13 anni, che si sviluppa in 4 mattine e si articola in classi di danza contemporanea e nella visione brevi di spettacoli di danza. Ci riporteranno umori, pareri, impressioni! Il programma è inserito all’interno di LIFT, un progetto di accompagnamento alle scelte di formazione professionale internazionale rivolto a giovani danzatori e coreografi di età compresa tra i 16 e 20 anni – avviato da Operaestate Festival nel 2012 – che offre occasioni di incontro con i direttori di alcune delle più rinomate scuole e accademie europee, e con insegnanti internazionali, oltre alla possibilità di partecipare a rassegne e festival e vedere spettacoli.
