Stephan Koplowitz:TaskForce UK 2009 Performance Excerpts:Dartington (site-specific performance)

Stephan Koplowitz: TaskForce UK June, 2009 
"Liquid Landscapes" (a series of water related site-specific performances).

Dartington, the Tiltyard Saturday 19 June 2009 3.30pm

Excerpts from a 30 minute, three part site-specific performance.

At Dartington TaskForce collaborates with student dancers from University College Falmouth and King Edward VI Community College to respond to the architecture of the tiltyard and at a critical time when vital work is carried out to replace the systems that carry water throughout the gardens, responds to its water connections.

The Tiltyard was also selected as a site not only for its connection to water but because of the historical connection to Rudolph Laban and his creative explorations with movement choirs on this very site.

TaskForce is a site-art dance touring company, established in 2008, that works on a project-to-project basis. Fluid in its conception TaskForce is made up of selected artists and performers drawn from the cultural landscape of its host city or region. It is a process oriented performance laboratory where artists are asked to draw inspiration from the architecture, history, culture and ecology of multiple sites within a single geographic area all connected by a common theme.
Working within an intensive time frame (three weeks of rehearsal + one week of performances) under the direction of veteran site-artist Stephan Koplowitz, each artist is given a different creative "task" to be explored and performed at the various sites. The content of each performance is made up of a combination of site-specific choreography, site-adaptive material and improvisational scores inspired by each performance site.
