Fra Cervello e Movimento - Extra Dry

In the energetic dance performance Extra Dry a dancer is joined by his double. His universe is invaded; the two bodies cross invisible boundaries, moving from the explosive to the exploratory in the search for oneness. The perfectly controlling mind, subjecting the body to the will of the dancer is confronted by the body's resistance to obey. Extra Dry is the third of a series called Fra Cervello e Movimento. Fra Cervello e Movimento is a set of three performances - Bianco, Rosso, Extra Dry that investigate the dyad brain (cervello) and movement (movimento); a mind that wishes to control and a body that is curious for new sensations. The motive is the interest towards the reactions that inner impulses impose on the body. How can the body surpass its limitations? How open can it be in its responses and what kind of transformations can it take on? Credits Choreography, direction: Emio Greco | Pieter C.

Press quotes Every detail is a golden grain in the whole. And the most beautiful thing is that Greco himself seems to be eternally astonished by that. Sally Kunst - De Morgen, Belgium 1999. His movement, first and foremost, should be looked upon as an architectural design, a sculpture made of a living texture, that of muscles. His clear, open presence has a disarming effect, his curiosity to find out about the necessity to dance is catching. The spectator thats ready for it, without delay, will be carried away into a state of intense perceptions. Paul Derksen Notes, The Netherlands 1996 Their bodies start to steam from the torrents of accelerating movement until the fabric resembles spider webs dinging with a clammy beauty to the dancers skin. Scotsman 28/08/00 Two dancers are a pair, then seem as one, grasping and reaching in unison. Unison, but not precision. Slight discrepancies in facings and phrasings make it real and living as opposed to a choreographed drill. () Jenai Cutcher, Columbus Alive, 29 March 2001

ICKamsterdam The International Choreographic Arts Centre Amsterdam (ICKamsterdam), which opened in 2009, is an initiative by choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten. In addition to making dance productions, ICKamsterdam wants to contribute to the development and vitality of dance by stimulating dance research, by offering a space for research performances, by entering into dialogues with other artists, by providing workshops, lectures and educational programmes, by keeping current repertoire up to date and by issuing publications. ICKamsterdam is meant to be a space for dialogue between residents and passers-by from different art disciplines. Emio Greco | Pieter C. Scholten and dance company Emio Greco | PC Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten have worked together since 1995 in their joint search for new dance forms. Out of curiosity for the body and its inner motives they created their first work: the solo Bianco, which became the first part of the trilogy Fra Cervello e Movimento (between brain and movement). They also wrote a manifesto setting out 7 basic principles of dance and their impact on the body and the spectator. After the internationally successful dance productions created between 1995 and 2001, from 2002, Greco and Scholten shifted the perspective of their company Emio Greco | PC to opera, music and film. At the request of the Edinburgh International Festival they directed and choreographed two operas, which included Glucks Orfeo ed Euridice. Their collaboration with Swiss composer Hanspeter Kyburz in the on-going project Double Points:+ followed shortly after. Together with Toneelgroep Amsterdam, Greco and Scholten made Teorema, based on a film and a novel by Pier Paolo Pasolini. In 2006, these interdisciplinary excursions gave rise to the highly acclaimed dance production HELL, the first part of a trilogy inspired by Dante. The second part, [purgatorio] premired in 2008 during the Holland Festival and included compositions by contemporary composer Michael Gordon and classical composer Franck Krawczyk. In 2009, a special collaboration took place between EG | PC, star violinist Janine Jansen and clarinettist Martin Frst, Double Points: Janine | Martin. The third and final part of the Dante trilogy, you PARA | DISO will see its world premire in Monaco on 3 July 2010. EG | PC has been awarded numerous national and international prizes, boasts widespread international recognition and has toured extensively abroad. The work is regularly co-produced by major festivals and theatres.
