Cre8us want to hear from you!
Calling all creative practitioners... we want to hear from you!, Cre8us
Cre8us have commissioned two of our Creative Agents to develop a legacy record which captures the Creative Practitioner's significant role in the Creative Partnerships' programme. We want to provide guidance and insight for those wishing to learn from these experiences in the future.
The work on this is already underway but as this is about Practitioners...we want to hear from you!
There are two questionnaires in circulation until Tuesday 30th August 2011.
If you are a practitioner (of any art form) who has NOT worked on a Creative Partnerships programme before we would like to hear your views by this questionnaire: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JL5D6M3
If you are a practitioner or a Creative Agent (of any art form) and you HAVE been involved in Creative Partnerships programmes before, we would like to hear your thoughts via this questionnaire: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FG353P8
It will take you no more than 5 minutes to complete either of the above surveys and we would very much welcome as many different view points as possible. (You do not need to be in the Cre8us ara (Solihull, Warwickshire or Coventry) to complete the survey - we would like to hear views from across the region and nationaly!)
Please do forward the links to the survey on to anybody who you think might be interested in supporting us!
Thank you, Cre8us (www.cre8us.org.uk)

Moved... weekend intensives in Coventry
Moved... by Decoda
a series of weekend intensives for dance artists
Questioning Dance Choreography workshop with Joe Moran
Sat 8 - Sun 9 October 2011
Bookings and payment by 15th September
Choreographer and dancer Joe Moran leads Questioning Dance, an investigative choreographic workshop arising from his renewed enthusiasm for movement and dance within choreographic practice. In his work Joe is currently considering the apparently mutually exclusive relationshipbetween 1) choreographic formalism and conceptually driven dance and 2) full-bodied, unmediated dancing. This workshop is intended to be a laboratory opportunity to explore these concerns. It is open to choreographers, makers and dancers with a strong interest in the creation and development of movement. Questioning Dance will investigate detailed somatic approaches to develop movement, as well as techniques to analysis, test and refine movement. It will also question how we shape and extend material through choreographic structuring.
Moving Between Workshop with Lucia Walker
Sat 15 - Sun 16 October 2011
Bookings and payment by 15th September
Moving Between will explore space and support; attention and action; form and freedom. Independent dance artist Lucia Walker brings her interest in the way movement exploration, awareness practices and play can provide a ‘common language’ which lies beneath different cultural experiences and styles of dance. This weekend intensive offers dancers an opportunity to connect to their own dancing, to connect to physical forces such as gravity and momentum, and to move and play.
Dancing bodies, moving images
Curated in partnership with dance makers Polly Hudson and Andrea Barzey
January 2012 - dates tbc
A weekend about embodied practices in relation to dance and the moving image. Weekend will include screenings, workshops and discussion. Key questions: How is the body integrated in dance on screen? What differentiates choreography for live performance and choreography for the camera? How might dance makers and performers maintain embodied space and somatic sensibility when creating a dance film artefact?
A call for submissions will be released to our mailing list in the Autumn 2011
Decoda is based in Coventry and is the organisation that has grown from the Summer Dancing festivals. We create spaces, workshop series, festivals and curated performance events for the independent arts community.
Moved... costs
