Raimund Hoghe is certainly one of the most intriguing dancer and choreographer in contemporary dance these days. I had an opportunity to interview him in May, during Queer Zagreb Festival, where his company performed ‘Boléro Variations’.
Raimund Hoghe always pushes the boundaries of dance perception through profound and minimalist way of analyzing thingz. The public and dance experts from Ballettanz Magazine obviously recognized this by giving him The Dancer of the Year Award in male competition for the season 2008.
Kinetic sculptures and robotics could be also perceived in perfomative aspect, not only as installations communicating within the object itself and the creator – sculptor, engineer, passionate geek.
Therefore, I’ve picked up Peter William Holden’s installations and cinematix approach where he tend to re-interpret the space, objects, movements, music and choreography of ‘wired’ objects; making the idea of robotics pretty poetic.
Thanks to Youtube user roexae, who uploaded video from the performance Mortal Electro by Telco Systems from this year’s edition of Transmediale, you can get partly an image WTF I was blogging about several months ago, when I covered their performance here.
This is going to be my shortest blog post ever here. No, no… I haven’t mixed it up with twittering… I like ‘tellin’ storiez’, it’s like a mental gymnastics, see… but I have some blog-ish quickie today for your dirty mindz…
