KALAMATA DANCE MEGARON[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1775688961340{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”zoomIn” css=””]The Dancing on Screen<\/strong><\/em> section, launched last year to great success, is dedicated to the relationship between dance and the moving image, particularly film, addressing both familiar audiences and viewers experiencing contemporary dance for the first time. It is implemented in collaboration with Filmhouse \/ the New Cinema Club of Kalamata<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year, throughout the Festival\u2019s duration, the video work All She Likes is Popping Bubble Wrap<\/strong><\/em> by choreographer Ioanna Paraskevopoulou<\/strong> will be screened at the Kalamata Dance Megaron. The selection of this work was made within the framework of the collaboration with Miden Video Art<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1779304247178{margin-top: 60px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column]

<\/span>All She Likes Is Popping Bubble Wrap<\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=”zoomIn” css=””]The screen is split in two. One side shows a montage of archival film images: three girls fishing at a lake, a zombie chase scene, a woman in the bath. The other side shows Ioanna Paraskevopoulou<\/strong> in dialogue with the images: using various material resources and\/or her own body to devise, create, and produce a new soundtrack to accompany them, thus orchestrating the images aurally and bringing them to life.<\/p>\n

How do two parallel activities affect the viewing process? How can the different temporalities of two images lead to multiple performative correlations and\/or abstractions? What correspondence discovery mechanisms are activated in attempts to formulate a virtual fake entity?<\/p>\n

All She Likes Is Popping Bubble Wrap<\/em> is a performance of sound and image, a diptych of parallel actions: a screen divided into two in order to amplify the sound and visual impressions made by selected extracts of archival film footage.<\/p>\n

Seeking to create a kind of audio-visual choreography composed of micro-movements and objects, the artist explores the correlations between sound, image, and the body, as well as the potential to exchange information across two moving images screened in parallel. This process leads to a playful experiment: a designated dramaturgical act on the part of the performer enters into discourse with the archival material to nurture non-synchronous realities, pushing them into unique new perspectives and dimensions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1778162695723{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column]
