      txt: www.labiennale.org - 7th Venice International Festival of Contemporary Dance
      This year’s Festival takes a close look at a wide geographic area, with two focuses on Canada and Quebec, Australia and New Zealand, together with other new projects from Italy and elsewhere. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal contend the primacy in dance with such cities as New York thanks to their major events that have been held for some years, such as the Festival International de Nouvelle Danse and the more recent BC Scéne, Festival TransAmériques, Push Festival, and through the ferment and variety of choreographic offering. Australia too offers more than 60 official dance companies, hundreds of independent artists and 21 universities offering institutional courses dedicated to dance, which all lead to this discipline gaining in breadth. But what is interesting above all is the cultural uniqueness of New Zealand, which blends an indigenous culture and 200 different nationalities. [...] Marathon of the Unexpected (June 12, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale) is the space dedicated to novelty that the Biennale has created within the Festival: all the pieces are new and lightning-fast – not more than 5 minutes each – and selected via a competition to try and provide visibility for works that would otherwise have little exposure. Go&Go Dance Party (June 12, Tese delle Vergini) will instead be an evening of shared festivity to celebrate the joy and beauty of dance and so crown the Festival.

      txt: Venice Biennale: 7th International Festival of Contemporary Dance: Capturing Emotions 26th May > 12th June 2010
      Capturing Emotions is the title the director, Ismael Ivo, has chosen for this Festival, because dance, he writes, “is a workshop of human emotions and shared visions”. The Festival, organised in collaboration with the Fondazione Teatro La Fenice and with the expected support of the Veneto Region, focuses above all on two geographic and cultural macro-areas: Quebec and Canada on the one side, and Australia and New Zealand on the other, placing consolidated names such as those of Marie Chouinard and the Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal alongside young names – from Europe – that include the young and dynamic companies of the Kidd Pivot and Chunky Move. Alongside the active presence of artists from or working in these areas, the spaces of the Arsenale in Venice (Teatro alle Tese, Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, Tese delle Vergini), of the Teatro Malibran and of the Sale Apollinee in the Fenice, of the Teatro Fondamenta Nuove and of the Teatro Toniolo in Mestre will host choreographers from Italy, the United States and Sweden with original works presented as world premieres for the Biennale. A new feature for the Festival will be the opening of a separate space dedicated to the most experimental experiences in the field of dance, revealing pieces that would otherwise be little visible. Marathon of the Unexpected will be a space concentrated in a single day (12 June, from 3 to 10 p.m.) and comprising very short performances –not more than 15 minutes– to be chosen and presented on the basis of a call for entries (deadline 10th April 2010)

      From Mann to Hirst: Death in Venice

      link: DAMIEN HIRST - Death in Venice | Galleria Michela Rizzo, Venezia - Palazzo Palumbo Fossati - 12 aprile - 30 luglio 2010 txt: Death in Venice - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
      The novella Death in Venice was written by the German author Thomas Mann, and was first published in 1912 as Der Tod in Venedig. [...] Mann's original intention was to write about "passion as confusion and degradation", after having been fascinated by the true story of Goethe's love for 18-year-old Ulrike von Levetzow, which had led Goethe to write his Marienbad Elegy. The death of Gustav Mahler and Mann's interest in a boy during summer vacation were additional experiences occupying his thoughts. He used the story to illuminate certain convictions about the relationship between life and mind, with Gustav representing the intellectual. Mann was also influenced by Sigmund Freud and his views on dreams, as well as by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He had visited Venice several times.

      book: The Essential Rumi - Rumi (Author), Coleman Barks (Translator)
      Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn’t make any sense.

      Six Memos for the Next Millennium (Lezioni americane)

      txt: Six Memos for the Next Millennium (Vintage Books edition) Commentary on Lightness
      Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium contains five memos, or personal testaments. The sixth was never written on paper. Each memo on lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity acts as a guideline for life and creativity. Six Memos for the Next Millennium is a book one should all read to endure a more satisfying life of clarity and simplicity. Although Calvino’s book was primarily written in regards to literature, his book can also relate to the fields of art and design. As in writing, design and typography should be light, clear, and simple while still maintaining a visually appealing and comprehensive story. Essentially, a designer and typographer convey to their audience “a story” that must be visually read and understood. Typography, design and writing portray messages, personalities, and hidden meanings for their audience in different ways but also much in the same vein.
