Meet our choreographer @mikouariadne for the Greek short film of mAPs collection “36 MONTHS” produced by MØZ @chrysanthibadeka.

Ariadne Mikou is an independent artist-researcher and dance specialist. She is interested in experimental practices through dance, architecture, visual arts and media. She has presented her work at @praguequadrennial , Schiume Festival of Performing Arts (IT); Danse indisciplinée Symposium (NZ); Festival international de vidéodanse de Bourgogne (FR); Light Moves Screendance Symposium (IRL); @idaconyc (USA).

As a performer, she has collaborated with Abigail Yager @trishabrowncompany , Bojana Cvejic and Christina De Smedt, @compagnia_virgilio_sieni, @ismaelivo_ and @boatolaura among others.

She is co-founder of futuremellon/NOT YET ART, and currently co-curator of [SET. me free] Dance & Movement on Screen, an emerging projection platform.

mAPs – migrating Artists Project is an international project between 5 European partners aiming to produce dance films addressing societal issues able to reachout for mass audiences through online platforms, TV channels and cinemas.

The first mAPs collection supported by Creative Europe will target the theme of POWER and be composed of 4 shorts and 1 creative documentary.

The 5 films of our first mAPs collection could be screened as a series or as a unique chaptered content of 90 to 120 minutes around the theme, boosting Societal Dance Films as a real innovative genre into the international market.

An inspiring woman artist of all times.

The Covid-19 pandemic is today reinforcing the nationalist retreat that gradually destroys the creative spaces defending Europe as a land of welcome, inclusion and diversity within a logic of solidarity, empowerment and sustainable economic development. For several years now, we have been operating European cooperation projects to come up against fears, precariousness, violence and the growing disparities between Northern and Southern Europe.

.

Together, mAPs 5 co-founders will produce in 2021 four original dance short films and one creative documentary on the common theme of POWER in Europe. Each country/structure has taken up a sub-theme to be explored through a strong citizen dynamic developed on its territory.

This is the quote that inspired the young Chiara Sacerdote, who has just graduated from @iaad.it. Chiara realized her thesis by developing a video showing some costumes she made and which will be used in the film BOLCHOI ARENA. @coorpi followed Chiara in her process, as an external supervisor of her thesis.

.Franco-Senegalese choreographer and dancer, dealing with the questions of identity, crossbreeding and otherness, he uses and deconstructs the codes of Hip-Hop to serve a humanist purpose. In the Stylistic Company he created in 2006, Abdou explores the sensitive, drawing inspiration from other forms of movement, such as the martial arts or contact dance.

He loves to plays with the proximity of bodies, exploring the relationships to the other in confrontation, in contrasts and in resistance.

mAPs French team intensifies their encounters with different community groups in Saint-Etienne. DAN.CIN.LAB has developed a partnership with SINGA @singa_lyon , an NGO committed in the inclusion of migrant people through culture. Aline-Sitoé, Abdou, Adeline and Anna had the chance to discuss with 7 persons recently arrived in France, after a short screening of societal dance films and a live hip hop freestyle performed by Abdou on the spot. Future workshops will be organized together for the group to build up spoken interviews as well as dance testimonies about these 7 persons opinions and experiences related to French theme POWER & IDENTITIES.

We are glad to introduce you to @alain_el_sakhawi , the filmmaker of BOLSHOÏ ARENA, the italian @coorpi short dance film of mAPs collection.

Alain grew up in Paris, from a French mother and an Egyptian father. Living between Paris and Sicily, at the meeting point of the cultures of his ancestors, gave him a great source of inspiration. He grew from martial arts, artistic gymnastics, and comic book drawing. But his first profession for 15 years was dance. Since October 2019, he moved to Rome to follow an intensive program of Cinematography specialized in D.I.T (Digital Imaging Technician). As a filmmaker, his work is revolves around the links between architecture, dance, rhythmic editing, the body to the environment, dance and cinema through cinematic reference.

What power do we have on environment? Are we doing enough to protect it? What happens to us when our environmental convictions are destroyed?

Directors Tero PELTONIEMI @tero.pel and @antti_tuomas_seppanen came together for the first time to work on script and choreography development with @malkata_films. Finnish film CIRCOLOGY of mAPs collection will explore the theme of POWER & ENVIRONMENT through the emotional story of Atlas.

Alexandre has currently more than 20 films in development and production phases, including the documentary about dance and resilience “Odette and me” by Anne Luci Viscardi @aludv.

Art is intimacy and inspiration. It not only does it transform the natural spaces it occupies but also the people it comes in contact with. We face deep, critical challenges every day, and it is important to explore the power of the body and how we connect with communities. mAPs presents the collective screendance WANNAWE by @endynamei.ensemble, the output of a series of workshops with @chrysanthibadeka (Screendance Trainer) & Vitoria Kotsalou (Choreographer).

“Our bodies never came in contact. We never hugged each other. Our palms never reached. We didn’t move in the same room together, to sweat and laugh. Our gaze never met directly. The little windows on our screens were the only channels of our network. we were not hundreds but we were enough to sync our powers and our creative spirit. ” Chrysanthi Badeka @chrysanthibadeka

As part of the Media Dance a multidisciplinary project conceived by @lavanderiaavapore (Collegno, Italy) and curated by @coorpi, the Franco-Egyptian filmmaker Alain El Sakhawi @alain_el_sakhawi worked on an artist residency, called “The risico shooting”, with students at the Albe Steiner Institute on a journey to discover videodance around the themes of IP V6 technology, body-microchiping under the skin and augmented reality, creation of a Cyborg and an Android. The residency also started reflexions around the themes of Power & Data, around the development of the short-film “Bolchoi Arena” (mAPs collection). Duting the workshop, and through continuous brainstorming and discussion with the director, the students developed ideas, advertising claims dedicated to new technologies, which can be proposed to users in the near future.

mAPs French team is delighted to welcome the dancer Margot Libanga to play the role of YAA in the short dance film EMERSION.

As a movement artist, choreographer and co-artistic director of Compagnie Shafak, Margot performes with various companies such as La Baraka in France and the FMKF030 collective in Germany. Versatile, she is interested in various forms of performing arts, such as contemporary and classical theatre, gospel singing, as well as hiphop and jazz dance. Trained in contemporary dance between France and Germany, she has since worked for choreographers at the extremes of the genre. Margot’s universe is blossoming in the contrast of rhythms, mysticism and the multidirectional address of the body. She questions the bodies as a common part of the individuals, as a playground to express her singularity.

The Kinitiras Ω team started in 2014 with the idea that senior citizens should have access to dance and theater through a creative community, where they can activate body and soul and unfold their rich artistic voice. Through weekly meetings, the group members started with gentle physical exercise, inspired by modern dance and physical theater, followed by vocal practice and yoga to learn bodycare through exercise and reflexology. The purpose of this mAPs screendance workshop, hosted by M∅Z @chrysanthibadeka, was to soften their daily lives amidst pandemic, since elderly people live in a multi-faceted precarity. In this way the social benefit of the arts directly affects the daily life of their community.

Filmmaker, producer and author Alla Kovgan @kinodance @cunninghamfilm joined our team as a mentor with her one-of-a-kind experience. We’re happy to share with you her insights on cinema and how to film dance.

Last year, when live performance was out of the question, many dance artists were turning to screendance to convey their art and keep themselves active. Their practice of filming the movement and the improvement of their techniques made different artistic disciplines fuse to develop and to enhance content and visual storytelling.

mAPs project hosted free online courses for professional dancers, choreographers and professional dance students. @chrysanthibadeka, from M∅Z greek team, used zoom platform to empower the dance community and inspired them to stay creative in the pandemic era. She shared best practices on dance film making, focusing on basic cinematic principles and how you can apply them in motion, choreographic tips for composing for the camera, and dynamic editing.

We are glad to introduce you one of mAPs team member Lucia Carolina De Rienzo @lubballerina from @coorpi!

She’s been Project manager of the European project « PerCorpi Visionari », as also a Performing Arts Consultant at Turin’s Metropolitan Urban Center (2014-2015).

Dance films have to be read in a different way than classic cinema with dance scenes or filmed dance shows. mAPs project aims to create a new model of production and set film dance as a new movie genre.

When we started the mAPs project, we aimed to create a cultural activism and a sustainable and social practice in dance and film by mobilizing different expert knowledge (amateurs, professionals) from various disciplines (dance and film) and areas (art, science, politics). In a context of growing global extremism, rising populism and authoritarian structures, mAPs shows visions of a solidary life and work of citizens in Europe: democratic, sustainable and innovative.

Today we introduce you Tero Peltoniemi, the director of “Circology”, the dance film from mAPs collection, produced by Malakta.

As a finish filmaker and director of Cinema Bijou, he believes that the language of cinema consists of motion and rythm. He holds dance film to a high regard because it has potential to integrate these elements most organically and he strives to share sensations to the viewer through their use. He works to trick audiences into thinking and acting.He has studied both filmmaking and acting to ready himself for the dance between a camera and a performer that is cinema. His latest dance film Mudlove (2019) is a mudwrestling dance that reveal uniting hearts and coliding bodies. Marrying music and motion with a twist of social commentary has been his main focus and trademark.

On May 25th, we had a talk with Citerne.live, moderated by Anna Alexandre and Dan.Cin.Lab, about the questions of Power & Identities and Power & Freedom with amazing artists guests such as Aline-Sitoé N’Diaye / Alsy Art (mAPs FR filmmaker), Abdou N’gom (mAPs FR choreographer), Diane Fardoun (filmmaker and choreographer), Khoudia Touré / Khoudia Roodia (dancer and choreographer).

.French filmmaker Aline-Sitoé N’Diaye Alsy Art and choreographer Abdou N’Gom Abdou N’gom came together for the first time to work on script and choreography development with Dan.Cin.Lab team. French film EMERSION of mAPs collection will explore the theme of POWER & IDENTITIES through the story of a young multi-ethnic girl, Yaa, and a journey to free herself from the biases about her skin colour. Her path towards self self-acceptance and empowerment will be complex and hurtful, but the whole crew is aiming for a strong and universal message of hope. Digging deep into their own experiences, both artists knit together a delicate thread reaching out for everyone’s search for belonging and yearning to find one’s own place in this world.

What better than dance and cinema to make us dive into our inner struggles and the powerful release of blossom?

Power, data, digital
supremacy and new technologies of power…
Do you remember how your life was like before internet, social medias and owning a smartphone?
Imagine what it will be like in two, three generations.

Directly from Turin, Italy, here is one of our big 5:

Coorpi

dance, people, territories
COORPI was born in 2002 with the aim of developing new ways of communicating with the territory and its inhabitants, through the plural languages ​​of dance and body.
” we passionately create multidisciplinary projects by combining performative, visual, sound and digital languages, putting people, stories and emotions at the center, to tell the territory in which we livewe offer tools to develop the creativity and expressive qualities of the individual, through new possibilities of narration and representation of the body and movementwe use our experience to enhance and increase the relational capital of the territory and its inhabitantswe offer training courses in which video dancing is the heart of a new way of communicating ” https://coorpi.org/

“I really think music and movement – dance, you know – and literature inform my visuals. I think film is also based indance. The relationship between me, the camera and the actor is always a dance.”Christopher Doyle ( Paranoid Park (2007), Hero (2002) and 2046 (2004)…)
“I born in France and grew up in Paris from a French mother and an Egyptian father. I have lived between Paris and Sicily which is the meeting point between my ancestors cultures. This gave me a great rise of inspiration.
Since October 2019 I moved to Rome (Italy) to follow an intensive Cinematographer Course specializing in D.I.T(Digital Imaging Technician).
I come from martial arts, artistic gymnastic, comic books drawing and my first profession for 15 years have been dancing. I worked as a dancer for companies in France, Germany and Italy.
As a filmmaker I worked for several companies for promotional contents. I have been directing my own work together with the « QBR Collective » basing it on combining languages of dance with grammar of cinema.
The work was lead by linking shots with architecture, dance with all kind of intentional movements, editing with rhythm, body with environment, dance and cinema through cinematographic references.”
