Callout: Artscenico "Ask The Dead"

Ask the dead

Call for artists for dancers, choreographers, directors and performers

In summer 2007 artscenico and the festival off limits will cooperate to create a competition for “short cuts” dealing with anniversaries, remembering playwrights, composers and other artists.

Between the “first move of Elivs’ pelvis” 50 years ago and the 101th birthday of Samuel Beckett there are lots of variations of memories of the dead performers are asked to create a piece of artwork about. Shake your hips…

artscenico initiates by this call for artists a series of short cuts, miniatures and adaptations.

Dancers, actors, directors, performance-artists etc. are asked to have a close look at the works of dead artists.

There will be one night of “short cuts” at the festival on a stage and other places within the period of August 25th and September 1st 2007 in Dortmund.

Examples: Frank Zappa, Samuel Beckett, Josephine Baker, Sigmund Freud, Henrik Ibsen, Heinrich Heine, Berthold Brecht, Elvis Presley (Elvis the Pelvis – 50 years pelvis swing), Jimi Hendrix etc.

It is also possible to make own suggestions, name other dead artists or famous personalities.
