3 DANCE FILMS SCREENINGS
To contribute to encouraging the approach of the cinematic public to dance, but also to provide visibility to a cinematic niche, The DINAM season included on the list of activities (for the Third consecutive year) dance film screenings:
- ”(Un)safe zones” ( 12 October, at Cinema Victoria):
The projection was included in the conference ”Retrocontrol-Documentare Performative in Moving” - event facilitated by Tangaj Collective. The screening, with a duration of 66 minutes, included 5 dance films curated by Simona Deaconescu (president Tangaj Collective and artistic director of the Bucharest International Dance Film Festival). The projection also included a discussion with the public/presentation of about 15 minutes.
- ”Beyond familiar limits”-international projection and ”What’s up in RO?”-romanian projection (17 November, Youth House):
Both selections were curated by Camelia Neagoe (Delazero Association). The screening, with a duration of 1 h 30 minutes, included 7 dance films, preceded by an introductory presentation held by curator Camelia Neagoe.
Through this cultural approach, the Unfold Motion Association aims to develop new audiences for the field of contemporary dance and to lay the foundations for the accessibility of a constant cultural offer for the consumer of contemporary dance performances and events related to it such as: Dance films, workshops, etc.
The contemporary dance season is the first such initiative of choreographers working in Timisoara, under the umbrella of the Unfold Motion Association and was born out of the need to have a context for watching dance performances, as is possible in the world of theater. In a cultural context in which contemporary dance does not enjoy sustained support at national level, the visibility of dance performances is affected by the lack of contexts of presentation to the public. And DINAM is trying to be one of those contexts.
The curatorial vision of the season is eclectic because we believe that the evolution of different aesthetics of contemporary dance (both nationally and internationally) enriches through diversity, an event such as the season. We want the audience to get in touch with as many artistic currents and choreographic visions as possible so that they can form and develop a critical sense and preferences for certain genres.
The third edition of the DINAM season took place between 6 October and 25 November 2023 and included: 10 contemporary dance performances, Q&A sessions with invited artists, workshops and interviews “meet the artist/sharing practices”, 3 dance film screenings, an audio-video performance installation and a series of sound mixing workshops for the audience.
