ICELAND DANCE COMPANY
- IDC in Hong Kong and Bilbao
 

Iceland Dance Company is on the road and will be performing THE BEST OF DARKNESS by Erna Ómarsdóttir and Valdimar Jóhannsson to the original music by Sigur Rós in Hong Kong and Bilbao in November. In this powerful final work of a four-part series focused on the night within and vulnerability of the body, the ethereal rock music of Sigur Rós – some previously unreleased – is teamed with the company's leading-edge contemporary dancers. The emotive performers roar, scream, become limp or highly charged as they wrestle with old ghosts yet also find the way to embrace darkness as a place to rest, dream, and be at one with themselves. A must-see reflection of our times. Watch a trailer here.

As a part of The World Culture Festival in Hong Kong, IDC will perform at Sheung Wan Civic Centre Theatre on 2-3 Nov 2019.  29-30 Nov 2019 IDC will perform THE BEST OF DARKNESS at Teatro Arriaga in Bilbao, Spain. Please contact the company for more information and complimentary tickets.

WELD COMPANY
- Presenting works by Samuel Feldhandler and Yvonne Rainer
 

Weld Company has invited Samuel Feldhandler as one of their guest choreographers this autumn. During one week in October he will work with dancers from the company using his concept Fake Dances as a starting point for a work. Fake Dances is a collection of short dances, each consisting of a written theme and a framed improvisation. These dances follow each other, much like tunes follow each other during a jazz concert. The work brings set material and improvisation in dialogue and explores a space between composition and interpretation. FAKE DANCES FOR WELD COMPANY is shown at Weld in Stockhom (SE) 26 Oct 2019.

AGAIN? WHAT NOW? is a work by Yvonne Rainer (US) created specifically for Weld Company in the fall of 2018 and mixes new ideas with recycled older material containing spoken text, music and movement material. The actual title can also be read as a scream of desperation and protest in response to the world's anxious state, and more specifically the current catastrophic social and political situation in the United States. AGAIN? WHAT NOW? at Weld 14-17 Nov 2019.

ZOË POLUCH / HANAKOHOSHIMI-CAINES / ELISA HARKINS
- New work RADIO III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ
 

RADIO III is presented 5-6 Nov 2019 at SITE in Stockholm (SE) as part of the Swedish Dance Fair 2019. RADIO III is the first collaboration between Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Zoë Poluch and Elisa Harkins. It is an indigenous futuristic concert, a beautiful and uncomfortable dance performance and a perverse triangle of shifting power that seeks to be unfaithful to both minimalism and postmodern dance’s claims to so-called “neutrality”. As we live, layer and situate form in our bodies we hurtle through past, present and possible futures. You are invited into a supportive co-existence, separate but aligned, an anthem for xenophilia, a complicit dream, a consensual prophecy.

RADIO III i is presented together with MDT and the Swedish Dance Fair 2019 at SITE in Farsta (SE). The work opened at MAI in Montréal 3 June 2019. Read more here.

STINA NYBERG / ANDROS ZINS-BROWNE / DIEDERIK PEETERS
 - SPECTROPHILIA is back
 

SPECTROPHILIA, a collaboration between the chorographers Stina Nyberg, Andros Zins-Browne and theatermaker Diederik Peeters, will be at MDT in Stockholm (SE) 7-8 Nov 2019, as part of the Swedish Dance Fair 2019.

In 2018 the artists teamed up to make SPECTROPHILIA, an evening which delved into links between the three artists’ common interests in the esoteric, the supernatural, the uncanny, and the haunted. The result was a spooky night of puppets telling (erotic) ghost stories, a concert made to raise the dead, and a dance haunted by the Swedish Black Metal artist Dead. Now the three will join forces again.Their collaborators this time will include Anneleen Masschelein, a specialist in the concept of the uncanny, the theremin player Gregoire Blanc, electric musician Maria w Horn as well as several other collaborators who are no longer with us but nevertheless have something to say. More information here.

ANNA DIEHL CO- FOUNDER MADEIN, IN MEMORIAM.
 

Anna Diehl was the co-founder of MADEIN, the Catalogue and the WEB. She left us after a time of illness on September 22. Anna was one of the brains behind the MADE IN the Nordic Countries – catalogue. The beautiful and sleek graphic design of the brand was all her work.

Together we developed MADEIN as a communication tool to attract more visibility to the Nordic performing arts producers who had the intention to work on an international level. The first edition was Swedish and was published in (2011) and five Nordic editions (2012 - 2017). They have been a success.

www.madein-theweb.com was the catalogue’s online version, developed in 2015 used to increase the possibility to spread information about Nordic performing arts and the participating companies on a regular basis, connecting Facebook and Twitter, publishing newsletters to international contacts and gathering information about important Nordic activities during fairs and festivals around the world.

Anna Diehl created the graphic design and the web site. Anna also coordinated the events that have been organized at fairs and markets in the world in the aim to promote and highlight Nordic performing arts designed for the international stage. She was fluent in English and French and had no problem coordinating two continents, three languages, and five countries at the big encounter and showcase ICE STORM in New York at APAP 2012 and the Nordic Focus at CINARS the same year.

Anna started off her carrier as a dancer. For many years she toured the world with Mats Ek and the Cullberg Ballet. She then became one of Sweden’s most prominent dance photographers. The last ten years, apart from her work with MADEIN, she also held positions as artistic director, manager and coordinator at theater institutions and festivals in Sweden.

Anna was one of the most important dancers of her generation and one of the most knowledgeable professionals in contemporary dance in our country. She was a Dancing Queen in combat boots who will keep on inspire us all. And we will miss her always.
