Lance Gries: The FIFTY Project, part 3 – Mapping and Video Prototype
For his fiftieth birthday, Lance Gries invited fifty dance colleagues, from a twenty-five year career span, from all over the world, to meet him in a studio for a fifty minute dance encounter. The intimacy, immediacy and vulnerability of some of the most beloved dancers and choreographers from New York and Europe is captured in these edited studio sessions. These fifty video documents are presented in a multi-dimensional immersive installation, a visual moving family tree of the New York dance community in a mass choreography of images, personal stories and dancing bodies. Critical Correspondence has teamed up with Lance to host a series of essays and visual documentation of this expansive project. Here, Lance maps the lineage of the fifty project participants through both systems of education and creative affiliations, and shares a prototype for the gallery installation.

The idea sprung from several events, discussions and proposals addressing in one way or another a necessity to rethink the presenting and creating models. Some of these projects were Charlotte Gibbons’ 4U, Daria Faïn/Prosodic Body’s think tank on the creation […]

What Sustains You Justine Lynch?
What Sustains You? is a new video project that asks dance artists about money and sustainability. The idea sprung from several events, discussions and proposals addressing in one way or another a necessity to rethink the presenting and creating models. Some of these projects were Charlotte Gibbons’ 4U, Daria Faïn/Prosodic Body’s think tank on the creation of a Commons (both an artistic performance and a civil/justice-building project) and Justine Lynch’s Somatic Alchemy classes. These artists, it seemed to us, challenged traditional exchange contracts of art giving and receiving and blurred definitions of art, production, collaboration, healing, authorship, and more.
